My favourite misspelling of a name, probably very popular with the swedes too
When swedes think of filppula we think of Ilari Fillpula, who did good with Malmö and MoDo.

I'm going with this now. A big part of it is based on Jalonen's recent selections & lines.
Are you only interested in the correct spelling of surnames? Is there anything else you're interested in besides this? Maybe hockey?I was surprised he was asked. I am also surprised he hasn't made an effort to play for the US yet.
Well, when the incorrect spelling is genitals with a smearing of sour milk.. It will entertain me for a minute or two. If you look through my posts only half of them are about that!Are you only interested in the correct spelling of surnames? Is there anything else you're interested in besides this? Maybe hockey?
Yep. I think probably karjalainen gets in one of the lines but this looks about right to me also.
Are we favourites with this lineup?
Will any team find it easy to play against this lineup?
Answer to both is no. This team has a chance.
Well, he is the kind of player who doesn't really drive the scoring on his own and he played on the team completely starved of any offensive creativity. If given the chance he will score, just like he did in Liiga and just like he did yesterday but in general, his value shouldn't be measured in points.Karjalainen played good but his last season's KHL stats weren't amazing. Not good but not bad stats, so I don't think he's any better than few other players. I won't base it all on 2 games and one of the goals was empty netter as well. In my books he's competing for the last spot with Suomi and maybe Hännikäinen.

There were definititely multiple times when Määttä was in the playoffs when Pittsburgh got eliminated round 1 or round 2 and we had slots open in the WHC team and he said he's tired or that he had injuries or they didn't report anything regarding Määttä. I just remember the disappointment I had towards him multiple times.
I give him the benefit of the doubt about his reasoning being true and it being the team's benefit that he didn't join WHC some of those times if he didn't have motivation or energy to play anymore during those seasons, but the fact that it happened each time made me think that he's just another light version of "Captain America Ristolainen" as some have put it. A lot will be forgiven if he steps up now.
So that is one time Määttä has said no to an invitation. 5/8 times he didn’t have a chance to participate and once his team prevented him from joining. And this year he’s expected to play. Sorry but you are misremembering or mixing him up with someone else.
Will always be thankful to Ilari Filppula as a MoDo fan, 14 points in 7 games in the regulation seriens against Leksand. He was absolutely brilliant. Unfortunately it wasn't enough as one of the biggest upsets in sports took place..When swedes think of filppula we think of Ilari Fillpula, who did good with Malmö and MoDo.

Finland will likely play with eight d-men in regular rotation, and Rindell definitely used his chance in the preliminary games. When an offensive d-man posts 2+0, he'll likely feature regularly in the final lineup as well.Does Rindell get into the line up for Finland? Or he more of an extra body for depth?
No idea. I was a bit surprised as well for Claywoman getting cut.Is saivinainen injured? Really surprised he is not in.
Yep, it was stated that he would have been in the squad if he was not injured.Is saivinainen injured? Really surprised he is not in.

I'd say this is actually a better squad on paper than the 2019 edition. But the 2019 squad was really underwhelming on paper.Doesn't look exactly great on paper but when I remember the 2019 squad which eventually won gold, I would never underestimate those Finns.
