It is actually straight "under the belt" to Mikko Koivu!

Koivu's team in Finland was (and is) TPS and it has a legendary score song where lyrics includes strongly word "violin". Happy and fun song, that plays always in TPS home games when they score. Every body in Finland knows that.

So, when Laine was playing in Finland, his team was "Tappara". Tappara and TPS are great rivalries in Finland so that "violin" was DEFINETLY for Koivu!"

To be more precise, the origin of that celebration is not the goal song itself. The most legendary player of TPS, Timo Nummelin (father of former NHLer Petteri Nummelin, also father-in-law of Antti Niemi) used this celebration when he was playing:

i like it. although i wish he wouldn't have been so subtle and just started from one end of the bench and just let the whole squad have it

Knowing the story behind TPS and Koivu, this is pretty great chirp to me. Love it.

 

[JAS 39 Gripen]

Luv that guy, NHL should be marketing him even even more

 

[Aspirine]

I would never have noticed this if it weren't for the super slow-mo. Also what tells you this violin is sad?

 

[Spirit of 67]

Didn't think much of it at the time. Just passed it off as a cultural difference thing.

Now I love it.

The music. Turn your sound up.

So...Laine fiddles while Minnesota burns...

He's a kid playing in huge games for his team. Good to see the emotional investment.

Brought a tear to my eye.

Generational violinist.

 

[vippe]

Way better than Matthews, does he even play?

 

[blueberrie]

Personally not a big fan of unsportsmanlike cellies like that.

Part of the problem is he's ugly as hell.

Ok Mr. Pitt.

 

[Pens x]

The NHL needs players with personalities, too many of these guys are robots.

This and the fact that he plays in Winnipeg prevent him from becoming a more marketable player. Maybe he will start to find a way out of the friends zone with a long playoff run.

I know you see it.

Winnipeg is a big factor too.
