ffs, I'm on the youtube channel but nothing comes out. It says 3 people are waiting or something, so am I on viewer queue or what the heck is happening? Some advice would be appreciated.

Only got to watch the third period from a really bad stream. I had trouble keeping a track on him cause you could barely see the jersey numbers. At the very end of the third period he made a terrific pass to Filppula who was completely alone in back corner of the net, where he then failed to capitalize grade A scoring chance.
 
He looks very impressive in corners and tight spaces, but hasn't really produced lately. I hope he can get into some sort of a groove once the season starts properly.
 
Didn't Pulju&Laine really start to produce around/after the WJC?
I don't remember the exact numbers for Laine, but I do for Pulju.

Before WJC Pulju had 31 gp, 12 points (5 + 7) and after WJC 29 gp, 25 points (12 + 13). Laine was getting hotter and hotter the later the season got.

Also Rantanen raised his game to another level post WJC.

It's going to be a long season and what matters the most is how Kakko looks at the end of season.

The game against Malmö looked solid even though Kakko didn't register a point. You can see he is a smart player. He knows what to do in quick situations, creating chances and helping his team keep possession. Maybe it's because I haven't seen him in a while, but his speed seems improved as well.
 
With some better luck he could have had a point or two against Malmö. If he keeps doing the right things, points will come. Although it's not like he has been unproductive since he had 2 points in 2 preseason games prior to this game. And all this while playing mature game in both ends.

Interesting that he wasn't on the ice for any of the opponents' 8 goals.
