Oh man, this is good. That's a @Lempo tier pun right there.

I just noticed the Canes have the best player names in the league:
Hakkapalita a 17th century cavalry unit - Hakanpaaa
Reiter (a type of cavalry in 17th century europe) - Niederreiter
Fogell from the movie Superbad - Foegele. i saw there is even a Cane fan with the Fogell/McLovin Superbad avatar
Joe Pesci from Lethal Weapon 4 - Pesce
Mr. Bean - Jake Bean
Joakim Phoenix - Joakim Ryan
Fast & the Furious - Jesper Fast.
Sebastian Aho - makes me think of ordering Ahi Tuna from a Hawaiian BBQ.
Any last name that sounds like a Fish is generally good in Sports, see Mike Trout or Tim Salmon MLB.

Lethal Weapon 4? C’mon.

Lethal Weapon 4? C’mon.

He was also an All Star level talent:

Pesce is fish in some other language.

You get even better if you translate the word aho from Finnish to Japanese via Google and translate from Japan back to English.

So now that is has been a handful of games are people happy with the trade ? Finnish Thor is quite a machine.
I can't comment on Fleury, haven't really watched my team lately because well not much to watch.

Jani has played a good quiet game. A very solid presence anchoring the 3rd pair but I’d like to see some more of that snarl from him

I can understand wanting more snarl although I have enjoyed and appreciated him playing the role of cooler out there for many scuffles.

It's also hard to fight when someone like Hornqvist only gets aggressive with Hakanpaa when a linesman is between them.

While the guy seems to play an abrasive and physical game....there doesn’t seem to be an actual mean bone in his body. He reminds me of “Tree” in Mystery Alaska before they have the “no Tree....YOU’RE the big guy...” conversation.

IF HE'S THE KIND OF PERSON TO DESTROY ONLY RUNTS I LIKE HIM EVEN MORE.

 

[Stubu]

Lethal Weapon 4? C’mon.

It was surprising to see Joe Pesce cast as a mafia character. And I thought he's taller?

 

[Svechhammer]

He reminds of a Marek Malik. Just better at defense and willing to throw a hit when its there.

He's not going to goon it up like a Chara, but he's not going to shy away from it. A nice happy balance that should help keep him out of the box more often than not.

Well Chara rarely ended up in the Box.

He's going to be nice. Until it's time to not be nice.

I will say that fish is pesce in some other language lol!

That's just because he intimidated the refs, too

With the acquisition of Hakanpää I noticed that there's a lot of former finnish Oulun Kärpät players, who have played in Hurricanes. Jussi Jokinen, Joni Pitkänen, Sebastian Aho, Janne Kuokkanen, Jani Hakanpää, Saku Mäenalanen (and Oskar Osala, though he played in Kärpät after his NHL/AHL stint). And there are also few draftees like Tuukka Tieksola. I know that Pitkänen was a scout for Hurricanes few years ago and to me it seems that he did quite a good job. I hope that the pipeline wont tail off now that Joni no longer scouts for Hurricanes. Some suggestions for upcoming draft: Aatu Räty, Samu Tuomaala and Ville Koivunen.

I know both this draft and these playoffs have the potential to be more of a crapshoot than most... but I don't think we'll get the chance to pick Raty.

Not to mention we've already had a Rattie in the past and it did not work out

Joe Pesci's whole persona is based on being the short mafia guy.

Who you callin' a persona? Are you sayin' I'm feminine?

Out the window goes my feeble attempt at humor. (Pesce - Pesci, get it? Now looking at it I'm not sure who would. Anyways I collect mafia and 'ndrangheta movies actually...)

 

[Stubu]

In fairness, if you are a woman, you could well be quite feminine. It's not like it's disallowed here, buncha jerks as they/we are. "Chrispy" doesn't really tell either way and you haven't filled out the full membership form, I observe.

Here's some speaking in tongues for good measure:
