Prospect Info: Eeli Tolvanen

[BigFatCat999]

If I was the team goon, I'd be telling the coach to get someone off the ice, I'd hope over, then I'm implanting my metacarpals into that guy's frontal lobe.

close call with Flyers prospect Noah Cates last night.that's as blatant as it gets.

geez, that's a huge gif. sorry.

Holy sh!t. Glad moron missed.

How many national junior Euro teams employ "team goons?"

None but there is always time for a new tradition.

At least one. This Cates will fit in in Philly if he doesn't get banned from hockey.

Cates is an American.

 

[adsfan]

Cates is an American.

Maybe he will be stripped of his citizenship? We really don't need that kind of garbage in hockey.

If the Badgers play UMD, I will have to watch, but his stats say 6 PIMs in 16 games this season.

Textbook execution on how not to deliver a hit.

 

[King Weber]

Finland beats Canada in the quarter finals and moves on to face Switzerland.

Tolvanen with an assist with 46 seconds left in regulation to send the game into overtime.

 

[maplepred]

It shows Tolvanen got the game tying goal, not assist.

One of the most insanely crazy series of bounces I have ever seen. 99999 out of 100000 that doesn’t result in a goal. The puck bounces off of the net right back to his stick he tried to center it and it hits the back of a skate and bounces right into the only hole the goalie didn’t have covered off him into the top corner. Seeing the other angle makes it look more unlikely.

 

[Jonesey]

It was an assist. He banked the puck off a teammates leg.

 

[King Weber]

do feel bad for DiPietro though.

played out of his mind that game and gave them a chance to win, and then lets in a fluky goal like that less than a minute to go.

He still has that contract to keep him happy.

Yes but on tsn it says Tolvanen has the game tying goal. Even today it still does.

Not sure why. It's pretty clear on video the goal is his teammates even though Tolvanen did all the work.

IIHF has Tolvanen with an assist.

Tsn and iihf need to get their stories straight lol. Either way, Tolvanen did all of the work and got a point regardless.

No. Canadian ESPN needs to put up the right info.

 

[Bringer of Jollity]

Hope he has a decent semi-finals/finals. Not really encouraged this was much of a benefit for him from either a "dominating to rebuild confidence" or "increasing his trade value" perspective.

 

[King Weber]

He's played pretty good most of the time, but I'm afraid "pretty good" is not quite good enough when you're one of the older guys in there. He's gotta start showing on the stat sheet more than he has so far.
I was expecting him to finish the tournament at least in the top 10 in scoring, and he's nowhere near that yet.

 

[predfan24]

I don't put too much stock into this tournament, but considering his whole body of work since leaving the KHL my expectations are lowered by a good amount. I would be happy if he becomes a pretty good goal scorer at the NHL level.

looked similar to hornqvist GWG game 6 SCF on rinne to win the cup.

Most of the time “Canadian espn” is on point. You think, hockey is Canada’s game, so it is something they are usually all over. Just seemed odd.

Thanks for screwing up my Friday morning.
