Liiga 2013/2014 General Talk

[Emppu]

One win in their last 16 games and one point in their last 8 games for Ässät.

And speaking of unfunny jokes, Sallinen gets thrown out because of this by the good old 1üga reffs: http://www.ruutu.fi/ohjelmat/sm-liiga/salliselle-ulosajo-toottasi-lukko-pakki-mikkolan-kylmaksi

I don't understand why anyone outside Finland can't watch any videos from ruutu.fi. Outstanding marketing strategy

Jokerit! Champions of Helsinki/Stadi, now and forever(?).

They can at least hold the "Championship belt" but all time they are now even 96-96 or 105-105 depending on what you count in so the last game between these teams, Winter Classic, will now be even more important. At least for us fans

Edit. ^^ those are regular season numbers but if you add playoffs games. Jokerit has more wins.

You can't even watch videos on ruutu.fi anymore if you're using ABP or similar ad-blocking program.

Two days, two games, two wins and six points for Ässät

What a start for the year. The six goals today was the first time the team did that in almost a year.

Hopefully they would get some momentum going and manage to get into the top-10. Will be a hard task, but now there's a lot more hope all of a sudden.

 

[Jussi]

Jokerit-SaiPa 1-4 in the third...

Hello! New to the forums, so thought I would introduce myself a bit! I am from Sheffield, England, and 4 years ago I met my girlfriend from Espoo, who has made me into a Blues fan! I have probably been to around 10-12 games, but now with her moving over here, we don't get to go as often.

I went last weekend when Blues played HIFK (3-2 Blues ) but that was the first time for a while. Anyway, it has got me wanting to watch every game again. Does anyone else use the Ruutu+ online service, and can it be used abroad? Is it worth the money? Can games be watched on-demand? Thanks for any help!

SM-liiga is available abroad. Other programs are not. There is also on-demand service but I don't know much about it. Ruutu+ Pro costs 29,90eur/month and if you don't like the service, you can cancel it. 19,90eur/month deal means that you are stuck with the service for 12 months.

And welcome to HFBoards!

Teuvo Teräväinen! Good comeback to Liiga.

For subscribing ruutu, I recommend to first take that 30€ / month service to test it. Actually I recommend it at this point of season, because the season is so far already. Cancel it after the Kanada Malja has been won by some team.

What happened to Jokerit fans? Yesterday at Jokerit-Blues game (first game there this season) it seemed that of the number of fans jumping up and down in eteläpääty has really diminished since last year. It seemed pretty huge last year and now it looked like a bunch of maybe 20 people. And they were very quiet. Still mad about the KHL / Karalahti thing?

Pissed off about the team's performances as well.

 

[Juzmo]

A shame that three points were only six seconds away, but at least the point-streak continues. Many more positive things in the team's game compared to the one in the first half. Luckily Hagman-Umicevic is also clicking again.

In other positive news after 20 goals in his first 51 games in Ässät and then going +30 games without scoring a single one Eero Elo finally scored a goal in today's game. Has been playing well for a while now and hopefully this will open up the ketchup bottle.

 

[montymcfc]

Thanks for the help guys, I subscribed to the 29,95euro one.

Watched the Blues-Jokerit and the Blues-JYP game. Felt Blues played well in both, and were very unlucky to not have taken the game against Jokerit to overtime. 2 of Jokerit's goals were very preventable, one a silly turnover, and one Nieminen would have wanted back.

The game against JYP, the Blues seemed to have a lot of the puck, but didn't really do much with it.

Need to bounce back tomorrow against Tappara.

 

[Juzmo]

And with that 2-1-loss against TPS, the season of Ässät is pretty much done since I just can't see the defence magically getting to even a decent level to the last 19 games of the reg. season.

Constantly mixing up the line-up and deciding which players to dress to each game is one thing that has confused me the most during this season.

 

[Neinri]

I must say... really suprised about us against JYP yesterday. After the first I had no hope, but yeah

 

[Finnpin]

About 1200-1500 Jokerit fans in away game in Turku

 

[Juzmo]

And with that 3-1-loss to HPK, Ässät's chances for playoffs are pretty much non-excistent atm.

Will be interesting to see how many players the team is able to sell.

Heard a rumour that Hagman would be heading to Helsinki or Oulu.

We really don't need him here in Oulu, but I really don't wan't to see him in Helsinki either.

Kalpa and TPS can't even ice full rosters anymore, pathetic.

Yeah, it's.... but today I don't really care. 2 very unexpected points

 

[InfernalDark*]

Irving and penalty shots

Did not see todays results coming.

Did not see todays results coming.

As soon as it went to shootout, most Jokerit fans knew what to expect...

 

[JJTT]

Was really surpsised by Matias Pulli from TPS, amazing calmess in his offensive game for a 18 year old kid playing his first game.

 

[Finnpin]

Tomorrow.
