Anyone close to the scene, is it possibly true that Kupari will report to the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds of the Ontario Hockey League after the Junior tournament?
WJC: Team Finland 2018 U20 WJC Roster Talk
- Thread starter ChicagoBullsFan
- Start date
Has a reliable journalist reported so, or why are you asking? I know Greyhounds GM has worked on it since Hlinka (and probably before that), but havent seen any reports in Finland that would suggest it will actually happen
Highly unlikely since Kupari has said multiple times that he is happy with Kärpät. Should also get a permanant spot on the lineup after the tournament
Anyone familiar with Kupari think he'll make a big impact this tournament?
Or still too early for his time to come?
Can we expect more out of Aapeli Rasanen?

Haven't seen a single report on the roster... Absolutely garbage coverage. All we know they might have already made some cuts. They have a game in 4 hours vs Switzerland, but if the past is anything to go by, we wont hear a thing about it

I can't help thinking that has something to do with last year's fiasco. After the gold medal in Helsinki, Finnish media was hyping 2017 World Championships a lot. Since there was not much to cover last year, they probably think this year isn't going to worth it either.

I don't mind it actually if there's no hype. It's still just odd. If Finland wins this tournament I'd probably appreciate this win more than if Finland won the Olympics or IIHF world championships.

So hockey should be the 1# sport in this country? The tournament starts in 6 days and we know absolutely nothing about the team other than Turkulainen has to fight for his spot... ridiculous.

There's a practice game against SUI in one hour and CZE in two days.

Yeah I know. Still, in Canada/USA/Sweden/Czech threads there have been reported lines from their camps. Here is nothing.
No way to watch, I assume? Boxscores or and line-ups probably too much to ask too. Expected nothing and I'm still disappointed

The lack of coverage is ridiculous. Biggest hockey tournament of the season and nothing. And in spring we'll to know what Kukkonen and Kontiola ate for breakfast as they prepared for a group stage game against a country with 200 registered hockey players. I'm beginning to grow even more levels of hate for the abysmal creature that is finnish hockey media. Only there to feed and hype up the extremely casual fans who watch Laine's goals on urheiluruutu and the Skoda cup.

Maybe the goals and assists will be updated later. Not too confident it'll happen, but let's hope for the best
Would also be nice to know who was playing today, because I have a feeling the top players weren't. Especially Vesalainen since he has been playing through some injuries. No way he doesn't make the team, so would be smart to give him some rest to get the best out of him when it matters
Jarey Curry
Avalanche of Makar
Will it be Weetabix or Rice Krispies, that's the question
A guess Koivula, Vesalainen, Moilanen and Kotkansalo. At least those names show on Teksti-Tv.
