I haven't really heard anything about this, expect when we (finns) were talking about 2012 draft picks in the Finland-section of HF, I posted that Ullberg could be selected in the 7th round or something and then some (I'm really drunk right now, so I can't really remember who) replied to it that he had a gambling problem and had been stealing stuff from his teammates in the locker room during his HIFK days.What's this? I've obviously missed something.
You guys can thank Aittokallio because if he had not have screwed Finland over in the semi-final Finland would have been in the gold medal game and probably ended up with a silver instead of bronze.

You can't blame him on that one mistake. Like Needles said, he stopped 50-60 shots. If he hadn't done that, we wouldn't have even gone to OT/SO.Ya Attikallio played great and i will agree he was your best goalie but i still think if he had not have made that mistake you guys could had a silver medal.
Of all the players, I am most pleased for Visentin, Hopefully he has gotten most if not all his critics off his back.
There was a joke after the boxing day defeat againt Canada that Finnish players must've felt like **** when returning to locker room after 8-1 loss only to realize that their 3rd goalie have stolen all their stuff.
I guess "personal problems" was the only reason why Ullberg wasn't drafted? He's talented as heck though so I hope all the best for him (and for his therapist).
Congrats to Canada on the Bronze. As a USA Hockey fan I wish we could have done better this year. I know the Canadian fans may be dissapointed that they didn't get the Gold but things could of been worse as we Americans know.
Canada was better overall, but such a shame that the ref was an complete dumb****. I think it could have been a bit more exciting with a fair one..
Gongrats!

A new day and sober, so I was able to remember where I had heard that.What kind of problems he have? Is he some kind of teenage criminal?

Maybe even higher than 7th round. Btw, heard Ullberg stole some money from his team mates once. I'm just curious, is he a guy that cause trouble in the locker room etc.?
I believe it was not just "once", but a continuous habit. If I recall correct, he used his teammates' cellphones to order credits to a gambling website, and stuff like that. Getting kicked off the team and having to go to Lappeenranta (no offense ) might've given him a little push, though. After all, he's basically become the #1 goalie of SaiPa.
