He'd better bring some razor blades with him.

I'm sure that thing will be gone when the season's over.

Laine should start a new trend. The playoff shave.

Going forward, when Ves scores two goals in a game, with one being a game winner, it will be referred to as the 1 - 2 knockout KooKoo.

"Ves with the 1 - 2 Knockout KooKoo last night, What a game!"

Can wait to see him cooeing those limes into the top shelves with the Jets!

Button: Vesalainen progressing nicely for Jets

 

[Rheged]

Not a top 50 prospect though

 

[Howard Chuck]

Main points;

-He went to Sweden because HIFK didn't think much of him, and he thought differently.
-Thinks that he wouldn't be where he is now if he didn't go to Sweden
-Harri Aho (Sebastian's father) said that they got a very motivated player who's on his way to NHL
-Tells he used to go to the storage room of his apartment building to shoot some 400 pucks at the net daily.
-Used to play Soccer when he was younger, but decided to become a hockey player because Finnish soccer isn't doing that hot & it would be easier to make a career from hockey
-Vesalainen says that the his play with the puck is the most improved thing this season.
-Says he'll go to NA after this season.

Dunno if anyone cares, nothing important in that article, really.

Wow, Howard Chuck, you are really immature.....

Harri Aho.....

He has a trend that always after the season is done he will clean hair and face

But if his cousin doesn't shave won't he lose the bet?

Happy to see Kristian playing well. At this rate he's going to prove me wrong.

I was probably too skeptical about him but he's done the best thing you could ask for this season - produce consistently. Last year his season was full of ups and downs.

 

[Arthur Fonzarelli]

Might not be the best idea. I hear Laine's mom's got it going on...

 

[jets2020champs]

I only did it because someon asked. Yes it's google translate. Kind of sounds like one of Avgard's posts

So that’s what Avgard does!!

Actually point #41, Pronman is wrong. 39 points with HPK and now 2 with Karpat.

I corrected him and got retweeted so I have that going for me


With 41 points he's tied Olli Jokinen's 96-97 season in 5 fewer games, haha.

Wait....who was the younger of the two?

Was Granlund's 17 year old season/draft year I believe.

Granlund was about 8 months younger when he scored 40. He also did it in fewer games.

Edit: Granlund was 9 months younger.

 

[Hammer Slammer]

Vesalainen's assist was decent, fed it across the ice to a d-man who ripped it on net and it bounced over the goalie and in.

Just before that he was showing some fantastic stick work and fed a perfect pass to the goal line on the left side but nobody could get a handle on it.

So he's fitting in then you say

It clearly should have been an easy decision to take Granlund over Burmistrov in 2010 given the big difference in competition the two players were facing and the fact that their stat lines were very similar. Oh well!
