Confirmed with Link: Ave sign F Saku Maenalanen to a PTO

[UncleRisto]

So British how they wrote that last part. "Ah, yes."

 

[UncleRisto]

Here’s a solid how-to guide on pronunciation

All the laughs on that track are so cheap.

 

[JoeSakic13]

All the laughs on that track are so cheap.

Oh no. I’m ashamed.

All the laughs on that track are so cheap.

I go back and forth on laugh tracks. They are obviously a product of their age, and I personally don't care for the practice...if I need to be encouraged to laugh, it probably isn't funny.

The show that highlights the biggest difference between watching with and without the laugh track is MASH. It's still wry and funny without the laugh track but it just feels...heavier. The punches hit harder without the laugh track trying to cheer you up at points.

 

[UncleRisto]

Oh no. I’m ashamed.

Yes. I said it so you knew to feel bad about posting a children's show, because it wasn't funny to a 28-year-old guy 46 years after first airing.

Kid show? The Muppet Show was for EVERYONE!

I love it now but I hated it as an actual kid.

I'd love it if they just redubbed shows with laugh tracks where the laughs are in the wrong spots.

 

[Chiarelli]

I swear they just sign these PTOs so Bambi doesn’t do the splits in preseason

 

[NOTENOUGHRYJOTHINGS]

I have been saying this for awhile now but the entire bottom 6 last season contributed nothing. No defense. No offense. No physical play. No special teams. Not even face punching.

If all these randoms are terrible offensively but above average defensively it's still an improvement over last year. And if they can PK or forecheck or throw a hit once a month that's still a plus.

But are any of these PTOs a native of Long Beach, California? Have you asked yourself that?

 

[jfc64]

I don't remember this player. Dear Finnish speaking friends, how do you pronounce his name?

Men - a la - nen

Also look forward to the possible fourth line of Wood - Landeskog - Maenalanen. Heavy dudes!

 

[Albatros]

Failed the medical, thus released.

 

[UncleRisto]

That sucks. Could've been okay.

 

[Grigowski]

Failed the medical, thus released.

Injury, or injured again?

I mean, you are on a PTO and failed your medical? Yikes....

 

[MarkT]

Maybe we circle back later, assuming it's an injury he can recover from.

 

[RECKLESS]

Lived up to his name.

Mä en ala (="I'm having none of this") nen

 

[ijuka]

Lived up to his name.

Mä en ala (="I'm having none of this") nen

Yeah, although mäenala here is off mäen ala, not mä en ala. Well, google translate gives "mäenala" the translation "mountain area" which works well enough.

 

[UncleRisto]

Yeah, I think he gets it.

 

[Tommy Shelby]

Even just signing a PTO is enough for the injury curse to affect you during scrimmages I guess

 

[Bender]

I love it now but I hated it as an actual kid.

It wasn't as bad as Fraggle rock.

 

[JoeSakic13]

His name ended up being longer than his tenure.

 

[expatriatedtexan]

It wasn't as bad as Fraggle rock.

My wife still sings the theme song to that show today...out loud.

 

[UncleRisto]

Four months post-op on a surgery that needs a five-month recovery. Signed for three years in Switzerland.

 

[Pokecheque]

Holllllllllllllllld up, there's way more to this story.

Evan’s NHL Daily: Maenalanen Signs Overseas, Zegras Update

A week ago, it looked like Saku Maenalanen was headed to training camp with the Colorado Avalanche. Now, it looks like it will be several years before he returns to the NHL. Around the league, Trevor Zegras is still sitting without a deal, and it doesn’t seem like the two sides are really all...

Dude felt fine, but the league mandates a five-month recovery period and he had surgery four months ago, so yes, officially he "failed" his physical, but he did not actually fail his physical.
