Born in Sweden? We should put in a claim!
No but seriously, what I have seen from Jesse he is going to be helluva player!
Rumours are Puljujarvi desperately wants to play for Sweden. I mean, who wouldn't?
Great goal once again. I just really wish Jalonen wouldn't place him as a playmaker for Laine at the WJC but I'm ready to be disappointed. Hopefully Aho and Puljujärvi will stay on the same line on Kärpät for as long as possible so that it would at least make the decision for Jalonen a little harder.

It would make sense that they would have Laine and Pulju playing separately in 5-on-5. On the powerplay they should naturally play both in the 1st unit. But 5-on-5, put Pulju with Aho and they make Laine play with Nättinen for example.

Considering Aho plays with Puljujärvi with Kärpät now, it would make sense to keep them together in U-20 as well.

Does anyone know the story behind this? I just found it interesting considering Älvkarleby is a very small place. Sorry if this is off topic.

I don't know anything about him being born there, but I assume his story is like my mum's was where she was born in Sweden to Finnish parents who went to Sweden for a job, then moved back to Finland.
Because I've been to Tornio in Finland where Puljujärvi was brought up and met this guy at a bar who even knew where he had lived (as we were talking future of Finnish hockey in general)
I don't know when he moved from Älvkarleby but yea from what i understood he was raised in Tornio which is why he's a Finnish citizen

The circumstances of his birth were examined in great detail in the first thread.

Is there even a birth hospital? Maybe he decided to born on tre kronor soil without a warning.
Yeah sure. He'll be finnish if he scores in Olympics and leads leijonat to medals and is a big national hero. But if he doesn't he all of the sudden becomes a swede.
Same with Barkov, only that he will become a russian.
That's Finland baby.

I dont think it'll be the exact same thing though, as Puljujärvi is still ethnicially (hate that word) 100% Finnish, so him being born elsewhere won't be highlighted as much I think.
Then again maybe you're right, it sounds like a Finnish thing to do haha
I didn't even say that it matters. I simply thought his birthplace was interesting and wanted the story behind it. Do you have problems with reading comprehension?

Some people are just too hasty to draw conclusions after all the trolling of Barkov being Russian rather than Finn because of his parents birthplaces etc.

Does he end up making the NHL as an 18 year old? Looks like he's physically ready today. I know its all about situations - organization he goes to, how he shows at camp...
But I see a power winger with great wheels who has experience in the pro game. A fantastic package.
Corey Perry 2.0?

Much better skater than Perry ever was. He's been compared to Kovie,Ovie and Selanne more.
