FYI, Turris's former Finnish team Kärpät lost a home game today against HIFK 2 - 3.

Which was reportedly due to their extreme state of depression following the comments of one Kyle Turris. When will the carnage caused by this young man's selfish attitude end!?!

Witnessed all three lockouts and this isn´t the first whining about Finland. In 94 there was one player in my home town (then) who complained that the city was boring and there were no cable tv in hotels and he left bact to NA. So this gives me some flashbacks.

There has been more established players who has complained about Finland in earilier lockouts. Young guy gives some bit childish comments but regrets if he has offended someone. No harm done. What actually makes me sad/mad that they are actually talking about so unimportant thing in Finnish sports media.

I'm more surprised at how big of a deal some Sens fans make for such comments. He spoke his mind when asked a question. Just because he didn't answer it like you wanted it to makes it unacceptable?

You don't think his comments indicate he might have a **** attitude? I don't expect every player to be the class act that Alfie is, but Turris should either keep his yapper shut or check his attitude at the door.

I don't think this kind of thing is grounds for trading a player, but it looks like we just got a taste of the attitude that led to Turris' problems in Phoenix. Hopefully he is kept happy and is a productive player for us so the fans can be happy here in Ottawa. Otherwise we could have another Heatley-esque situation on our hands.

Is this a serious post? lol You're reading way to much into nothing dude. It's not like he went out of his way to say it. He was asked, responded honestly, and then it caused a big deal. He sounded like he was sincerely sorry it caused such a commotion after too. Overreaction much lol

 

[Vaclav Varada]

If anything Turris just needs to run his brain before he runs his mouth. Theirs a big difference between having an attitude problem and lacking a filter for your mouth.

So because he could have come across as more of a ******, that makes what he said O.K.? You gotta be kidding me with that logic.

It seems he has both problems.

The people overreacting about the people overreacting to Turris' comments are worse than the originsl overreactors...

Not sure how his answer shows he has some sort of attitude problem though. He was asked a question and answered honestly. I don't understand the logic here. Like another poster already stated he did not go out of his way to belittle the city he was asked a question and he provided an answer. Just because its not the cliche answer that every damn player gives it seems its some sort of big deal.

This is why the NHL has the fans by the throat, NHL fans are a fickle bunch who LOVE to nit pick everything and make a big deal out of everything. See the Kane twitter picture as an example.

So because his comments came in the context of answering a question, and they were "honest", that means they can't possibly indicate an attitude problem? Again, ya gotta be kidding me with that logic.

Where in his answer did he come off as having a **** attitude?

He came across as viewing the team in Oulu as beneath him.

Alfie is a class act who goes to CHEO visiting children who will be there over the holidays. Turris is a POS who disses the way of life for a team of hockey players in Finland who earn a salary primarily to support their families.

Whatever. Keep defending him just because he plays for the Sens.

I hope that wasn't an attempt to compare him with Alfie.

Your post is much more indicative of a **** attitude than that of Turris'.

As opposed to majority of us that use our salary primarily to support our drug habits and the company of women who walk the streets. Seriously isn't this what everyone uses their money for? Have you seen Turris' financial records to assume that isn't what he would use his money for or what?

Turris said he does not like the lifestyle there. Why does that diminish the lives of the people that do enjoy it? I hate Indian food but that does not mean that I hate/find all of India to be beneath me.

Guy goes over to Finland, signs a contract with a team so he can play hockey during the lockout, and takes the job of a bubble player. That's not so bad, but to quit the team and insult their ways, disregarding the fact that the players there aren't multi-millionnaires and actually need the $$ to support their families (including the guy Turris' spot replaced) - that is beyond low in my opinion. You can tell from the reaction of the team members that Turris' move (voicing an insulting opinion in a forum to which the public has access) was not appreciated. Their reaction does not surprise me.

If you disagree, that's fine, we (myself and the Finnish team included) probably just have different values to you.

I should have the used the word "predominantly". Maybe I'm wrong in assuming that most/all of the members of that team have families, but basically they don't have that surplus cash which Turris has to enjoy a much more luxurious lifestyle.

But yeah, Turris is right. How dare the team Kyle Turris is on eat at ABC truckstops. How dare a city that Turris is living in not fulfill his entertainment needs.

I think everyone has moved on now.

I thought Turris bulked up? Those pics from CHEO make him look like a frail bone rack...
