Yeah, Finland has been very strong in recent years so there'd be quite a few current players. This is a great generation of Finns.

Pekka Rautakallio, Matti Hagman maybe. They both had some talent.

What about Hannu Virta...anybody remember him?

Was not Hagman the first finn in NHL? His son Niklas was a good player.

Yeah, I believe Hagman was the first player to grow up playing hockey in Finland to play in the NHL (but not the first player born in Finland).

Hagman played for Boston when Don Cherry was coach, he said Cherry gave him very little ice-time.

Those early guys, Hagman, Rautakallio, and Siltanen were good players in their era.

Not a shocker since Cherry hates Europeans

He blames Hardy Astrom if he catches a cold...

M. Koivu should be fighting for a spot on the 4th line. Barkov centers Kurri and Tikkanen because no reason to break the first line.
