Player Discussion Antti Niemi (Signed in the KHL)

[Harpo]

Not a surprise by any means, but looks like he's gone.

at the press conference they announce he wasn't back so no surprise.

KHL is a good league for him.

 

[Runner77]

Thread title should be changed to the "KHLer".

As the person side, I liked Niemi. It was the additional year of more unfortunately tho.

 

[the valiant effort]

Good guy, never should have been a Hab.

 

[le_sean]

Thanks for nothing. Being good when we wanted you to be bad (2017-18) and being horrible when we needed you to be good (2018-19).

 

[Hostile Offer]

Good riddance. He really bought himself another year with that suprisingly good stretch he had the year before but was nowhere near even backup level this past year. Guy is done, doubt he'll make a lot of noise in the KHL either. Very respectable NHL career though.

Good luck Auntie, keep your legs closed in Soviet Russia.

Any respectable pro scout should have been able to spot his wretched technique, and the absurd amount of luck behind all those performances down the stretch.

As was expected, Niemi signs with Jokerit. They made the official announcement today. The Habs must have released him early since he's technically still a Hab until June 30 at midnight.

The Yukon is closer to Russia than most of Canada. Is there something you guys know that the rest of us don't?

 

[Habs]

so long loser

With all the other Jokers

That performance against Florida....

If I were a Florida fan that would stl piss me off. How does a shitty goalie do so well in that game, when Price likely would have given up 3, or 4 at least.
