You run out of imagination and started not only quoting me but also repeating whatever I said? I avoid using his word around here but "lolz". But hey, it's great if we're both entertained!
So now you at least admit that he did indeed extend his shifts as opposed to just playing "few seconds more"? Are you finally getting "it" despite having all the top forwards' TOI's available practically the entire time to make direct comparisons from, of which you could've used to form conclusions with just a shred of an imagination? As for the bolded, when you refer to player contributing for a team that came home with the gold medal, it's so obvious that any sane person wouldn't even bring it up, unless they thought that particular player did something so amazing in the tournament that it needed to be pedestaled. But of course you would come up with something like that, I mean, who else?
Unfortunately despite of getting minutes equal to team's defencemen, Heponiemi never did anything of the kind. His highlight moment was probably skating at the right place at the right time, so that Tolvanen could shoot the puck straight at him.
It's so amusing when you stick to this obsession stuff and yet just a moment ago you didn't even really know what the heck you were ranting about. Furthermore now this feeble attempt to turn around the table with me "belittling" you, when in fact the statement of you bringing nothing into this discussion was as valid as someone pointing out that the sky is looking foggy and cloudy in Tampere, Finland at the moment.
Then lastly, the underlined part pretty much confirms that you've been sleeping over the discussion and probably didn't even bother watching the games, cause if you had done one or the other (if not both), you'd know that they DID indeed do something about that. In the finals, which again has been mentioned many, many times over. Had they not reacted (rather sooner than later) the end result might have been entirely different and Heponiemi would be receiving heck of a lot more critique at the moment. Right now no one really bothers since the team achieved what they went in for and most are satisfied with that. I'm sure that applies to Kakko too, but I'm also quite sure at the same time he's pissed off for all the missed opportunities (thanks to Hepo) in this tournament. That's not the kind of stuff players go in for the press with, since they do know better. As for a fan in a random internet board, it's a whole another ball game.
