Player Discussion Artturi Lehkonen

[dackelljuneaubulis02]

Not that sure, maybe 20 goals a year max. His shot if quite mediocre (I'm not bashing on the player, he just can't aim).

huh? he has a great shot. We haven't seen it in awhile but it's there. he's rounding out the other aspects of his game. I'm very confident that shot will come back. Once it does he'll be a beaut.

 

[Kaako Kappo]

How the f*** does this guy go against big NHL players and play a grinding playstyle? You thought Kotkaniemi is scrawny? Holy hell.

 

[The Great Weal]

Lehkonen would miss a soccer net if he was on a breakaway. It honestly seems impossible how bad he f***s up grade a chances.

 

[Guilliam]

I live Lehky but there aren't that many things who infuriate me like a guy not hitting the net with his shot in OT. It's a guaranteed odd man rush going the other way.

Which is frustrating. But I hope Montreal doesn't make the mistake Calgary made and remember that Lehkonen is also creating grade A chances consistently.

As much as chilling together it resulted Plekanec contaminated undoubtedly Lehkonen to Mehkonen.

Photocopy and Twins (sadness smiley).

You simply cannot miss the net like that in ot

 

[montreal]

not worried about Lehkonen, people miss the net all the time. He's on pace to put up almost as many points this year then his career totals over 2 years.

Lehkonen looks small because he's next to some tall people.

Who's the man on the left?

 

[montreal]

He looks that way because he's next to some tall people.

Who's the man on the left?

Armia

 

[Kaako Kappo]

He looks that way because he's next to some tall people.

Who's the man on the left?

Antti Niemi. If you mean far left.

 

[DAChampion]

Armia

I meant far left @Paul Maurice answered.

Theyre the four finns, so Niemi.

I'm getting sick and tired of this guy missing everything. Did he just lose all his hockey talent?

i mean when he first joined his best assets was his strong wrister and accuracy... it's gone...

now he's essentially a very good 3rd line two-way winger who gets his point of working hard. i realy don't know how his shot regressed that much. he's def not looking like he could be a good constant top6 winger. i mean nothing wrong with that we have a bunch of good skilled guy coming up, having him on the third line with a lower caphit is actually good to run 3 decent scoring lines!

 

[Sorinth]

I'm a little worried he might end up like Jan Bulis, a guy who would generate lots of great scoring chances every game but just couldn't finish.

That said, Byron's MO when we picked him up was that he was a breakaway machine who couldn't put it in the net, so sometimes these players do put it together and the goals start coming. So here's hoping.

Lehkonen is just the player who love R1

it's just weird because his shot is there. I'm not going to write his goal scoring off yet but it is frustrating. could be a confidence thing.

It’s a confidence thing, he definitely has a good shot but just doesn’t hit the net or shoots it in the goalie’s chest. His shooting percentage is crazy low right now.

Let’s not forget this is a guy who scored 18 goals in his rookie season.

 

[Kraken Jokes]

I seem to recall Lehkonen scoring the bulk of his points in the second half of each of his first two seasons. Is that correct?

14 of his 32 goals in the regular season have come in March/April, plus he has 2 in 6 playoff games.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

With the amount of scoring chances he get, I can definitely see him being a 50 pt forward once he starts finishing his scoring chances

That's "sisu" for y'all.

Lehkonen doesn't look taller than 5'10 beside Armia.

 

[JianYang]

I thought lehkonen had a good rookie year, and was one of the better forwards in the playoffs.

Still waiting for that lehkonen to come back.
