WC: General Talk '12 — Finland

Gotta say... HDTVPlayer ftw. No ads, no buffering, no Saukkonen.

Haven't seen him much this year have you?

Filppula 11-12 is different from 06-11 Filppula. As a winger he has been shooting from all positions.

Maybe 20-25 games and the playoffs.

To me he's been a pass first guy in those games. He shoots if he has a great chance but that's it imo. Maybe my he's old habits have blinded my vision .

Looked up his stats.

2007-08 gp 78 s 122
2008-09 gp 80 s 129
2009-10 gp 55 s 114
2010-11 gp 71 s 115
2011-12 gp 81 s 144

He's sog have increased slightly from last year, but he's had more toi and pp time. Fil's sog rate was pretty much the same 32 years ago but he had about the same toi and pp time as this year.

He was ranked 69th on goals but 173rd on sog.

Btw, Fil had only 1 sog . Didn't see the game so can't say anything about his performance. But who cares. We won.


edit. Of course that doesn't include blocked/missed shots but this is just my (limited) impression. And many DRW fans have told me so, too.

With Selänne and others declining I guess there was room for some surprises on the squad. So how did Breivik look out there today, this could be a real cinderella story

He and his pal, triple murderer Nikita Fouganthine, looked like they were having fun.

Was that really in the Swedish news too?!

(I was shocked that they bothered to make a headline of that in here.... but hey clicks is profit! (" SHOCK: BREIVIK PART OF THE HOCKEY CHAMPIONSHIPS")

 

[Ville82]

Jokinen what the hell are you doing there???

Gotta say... HDTVPlayer ftw. No ads, no buffering, no Saukkonen.

+1 but Mertaranta is **** too. Those jokes god why wont he just shut the **** up!

 

[Mestaruus]

Of course it's in the Swedish news. How can they screw up so bad and get Breivik's pic in there? Where were Bin Laden's and Hussein's pics?

JJ out...Kiiskinen in. (at least in practise)

Info from Canal+ 24/7

JJ might have injury.

Hopefully we will get some traffic in front of the net now also.

Thats what I wanted, but wouldn't have believed Jalonen is going to actually do it

 

[Jere26]

Well, maybe a possible injury was the reason for that mediocre performance by JJ yesterday.

I don't think so. Didn't he get injured later into the third period, and missed a couple of shifts when Pyörälä played in the first line?

Info from Canal+ 24/7

JJ might have injury.

Judging by last game, I guess it's a head injury, affecting his eye-hand coordination.

So what line did Kiiskinen play in? Him on the first line could be a good idea.

 

[Ville82]

Komarov in the 1st line, Kiiskinen in the 2nd and Pesonen somewhere if JJ is out.

 

[Finnpin]

Damn Jesse Joensuu has street cred look...he looks like he had a nakkikiskafight yesterday. 3 stiches on the side of eye plus bloody eye and nose.

 

[Finnpin]

He and his pal, triple murderer Nikita Fouganthine, looked like they were having fun.

More stuff showing how "professionals" the organizers are

According to Leijonatreenit Live he played in Koivu Line

Edit:
They played well together in EHT so its probably good that way

 

[Haite]

Bloody Mary

 

[FiLe]

Filppula - Koivu - Kiiskinen looks curious.

Though according to our master's voice, it's for this practice only. Jokinen plays vs. Slovakia. No line changes, save for Vehanen in net.

I think their goalie plan goes like this...

FIN-SVK - Vehanen
FIN-SUI - Lehtonen
FIN-FRA - Vehanen
FIN-CAN - Lehtonen
FIN-USA - Lehtonen
FIN-KAZ - Vehanen

 

[Mestaruus]

I just want some 'fat' guy in front of the net for the PP. Make special lines with Komarov/Joensuu for one of the top lines or maybe even for both...

What's up with the coats of the media people at Sweden's side . Even Juti's & Saukkonen's orange hockey night jackets looked better. I get the feeling it's 1960 and they are from some eastern European country/North-Korea every time i see them with their coats.

Someone call Juti.

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

Im liking Jalonen more and more, im glad to see he wants to mix things up right away. Leaving Pesonen is absolutely the right move. He cant finish and slows that 2nd line down.

I hope we see more of that Koivu&Granlund magic. So far 3 shifts in this tournament and every time something happened.

Err, what? Yes, Kiiskinen replaced Jokinen in practice. Otherwise the lines stayed the same.

Also, Jalonen said that if Jokinen plays tomorrow, the lines will likely stay unchanged.

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

I thought someone said Pesonen is out but misread it.

If Kiiskinen and Jokinen play, where is Pesonen's place then?
