WC: Team Finland 2022 roster talk
- Thread starter Eye of Ra
- Start date
NHL takes Calder cup success over olympic or World championships and Jalonens club performance has not been outstanding besides in Hpk.
I disagree. I really doubt You can dismiss Jukka Jalonen achievements in NHL or anywhere in the World of hockey. But we nerver know the real talks behind. I doubt Jalonen is interested in a job with rebuilding organization like Arizona for example. With his record and sucsess backround it will be interesting to see what happens this summer. As 2023 is also in Tampere the job of Team Finland coach is not bad option at all. The question is if anybody is willing to offer something more interesting.

Jalonen is not a young man anymore, but the golden crown for his carreer as a coach would be coaching Canada or Sweden.
But not in a few years as Hallam will coach Sweden and Canada never wants a foreign coach.

If you take an example from football. Best Finnish managerial job has been Sami Hyypiäs Bayer Leverkusen and he is not a great manager. He was a former player there. As a commentator he is lucky to form sentences. Alpo Suhonen was the first European head coach in NHL and he is not so highly appreciated in Europe. Hlinka was certainly.

It's a step downwards to coach something else than Finland. It would be an honor from some other country to take him as coach, but honor not needed by Jalonen. Would just break his legacy in Finnish NT. He has all the honor in Finland.
Congratulate to Finland, well deserved win 
I have one question, please what song played in the background during handing over of the gold medals? Thats great song Please help to recognize it..Thanks

3.03 million Finns watched the hockey final at some point.
Average viewers was 2.35 million. The 2nd most watched hockey game in Finland during history. Only 2019 final had more viewers.

Back home from Tampere.
#1 I feel sorry for you, if you weren't lucky enough to be in Tampere. Atmosphere was insane, i strongly recommend that you plan a trip to next year's tournament.
#2 Hockey is our game now. 4 tournaments in a row, 3 gold medals and the Big Blue/Blue&White/White&Blue Machine don't show any signs on weakening. We never have the best individuals, but we will have the best and most united TEAM.
#3 Kiitos Leijonat! It's fun to win and fun to be finn.

Exactly. There's no way that J.Jalonen will coach anything else regarding national teams than the teams of Finland. It would leave a stain on him in the eyes of Finnish ice hockey fans and he's not dumb enough to do that. In fact he's a very smart guy.
Congratulate to Finland, well deserved win
I've never heard this song before but I googled it by the lyrics for you:

When Jalonen was 8 years old he was bullied by 4 UFC fighters. Instead of running to mommy, he drew up tactics and coached 9 of his 8 year old buddies and they beat the crap out of the 4 UFC fighters. One if them was one of the Gracies. True story. Best coach in the world.
Forget the NHL. Can he get to 10 trophies with Finnish national team. That should be the goal.

He's got much more to lose than win in the NHL. There you play with the cards you're given, GM will take care of the trades and drafting which will determine a lot.
One of the strenghts of Jalonen is the way he's chosen his staff around him and they are working seamlessly. Obviously there's a lot what he could teach from winning and creating perfect atmosphere, but i can also see many things going wrong when Europe and stubborn NA cultures collide.
Stay with national team, Jukka. Some younger coaches like OJ or possibly Ahokas could try their chances there. Jalonen has nothing to prove.

Are you doubting my completely truthful story?

This celebration is at where it belongs, Tampere. Tampere is the hockey capital of Finland and Europe really.
As a guy from Helsinki, i hope that even after Helsinki Garden, Nokia Areena will stay as the home of our national team.

Yes, and Kossu's cousin's Jallu and Jekku. Since the sunday was a hot day, i tried cool myself down with gin&tonic's. But other than that it was pretty sober weekend.
So where will Manninen and Hartikainen play next season. These guys are rather expensive salary wise. If they would play in any European league, they would have to take massive salary cuts.
Both of them are too good for anything else except the NHL, but for Hartikainen the skating speed might be an issue. Hartikainen has everything else needed though. Hartikainen said in an interview during this WHC tournament that with his age this would be the last moment to go back to NHL.
Manninen belongs to the NHL and we've seen smaller guys succeed there before so I could see it happening. Manninen is tougher than his size suggests. I've noticed him tackling guys hard and so on, but that's not what his primary focus should be though.
Which NHL teams are in need for a top-6 center that would be cheap in cost in NHL standards? Imagine Panthers and they would have only Finnish centers playing lmao. So I don't think that's the destination, but the thought of it is funny.

When he stops enjoying coaching Leijonat, he could be given the task of training coaches all over Finland, just a guy who sets the trend. If I were a man who would have a chance to get Jalonen for the Swedish Federation and just to pass on his national team training experience, I would be very happy. It is very painful to watch the Finns win tournaments with worse players but top training. But this problem is created in Sweden and the Swedes have to solve it, but hockey could not be decided by people who choose as a coach someone who smiles nicely and is friends with everyone.
