Jokerit 17/18 - Scooters Gonna Scoot

[vorky]

I dont know why couldn't they, but also why would they though?

Chinese president has visited finland lately and trade relations have been boosted alot lately between Finland and China.

My point is that the KHL has created enviroment for expansion of KHL teams into Chinese market. They play the same league, so it is easier for Jokerit (or other KHL team) to expand to Chinese market than lets say SHL, NLA or Liiga teams. Their national leagues have no interest to expand, they care about their local markets. The fact that the KHL expanded to China (& plans to Asia), as the most developing market in the world, can be a wake up call for other European teams to consider the KHL as as right place to go. Of course only a few & clever one.

Funny that Jokerit has a website in Chinese but Kunlun does not.

Interview audio was bad but he was basically just talking about what his tasks in Jokerit includes.

Basic statistics looking better than previous season, looks good for visitor tour. I'll see if if would calculate 5on5 corsi stats too later on for the season for each team...

(SOG) & penalty minutes which might effect on total sog too if large difference

Spartak 3 (26) - 4 (26) Jokerit - - - - 5x2min vs. 3x2min
HC Dynamo M 2[SO] (17) - 1 (45) Jokerit - - - - 1x2min vs. 2x2min
Lokomotiv 3 (35) - 4 (32) Jokerit - - - - 5x2min vs. 7x2min + 1x10min

Jokerit Fangear

Hi team,

After having followed Jokerit for 4 years now, I'm planning a trip to Helsinki early next year, visiting some friends and will try to combine it with 1 or 2 home games of Jokerit.

On their website the fangear is rather pricey. Are there any other options of getting gear a bit cheaper?
Shipping makes it incredible expensive.

A friend of mines is going next month, also to see a game, so I would ask him to get me a T-shirt and a Huhtala jersey.

Thnx for the input

 

[Albatros]

I have the impression that all serious fangear in Finland is incredibly pricey. But if only the shipping is a problem, then you can naturally use their fanshop which probably has the same products and prices as the online store minus shipping.

Other than that it's a pity that KHL merchandise is not easily available online even in Europe. Somewhere I saw SKA pullovers in weird sizes, but that's all so far.

 

[amoboko]

Even on Ebay its very difficult to find something decent.
I was hoping to get some advice from locals to refer me to other webstores that might have fangear available

 

[SoundAndFury]

I don't think there are (m)any ways to get official gear cheaper. Also I looked through the prices at Jokerit webstore, "fan jersey" costs 60 euros which is pretty standard price for Finland. Jokerit is probably the most expensive team in the league to be a fan of.

 

[CPFC]

Are there any other options of getting gear a bit cheaper?

Not really, but there might be individual discount items at the Hartwall Arena fan shop. Of course you also have everything on sale after Christmas but I'm not sure if it applies to fan merchandise. You could check out the Intersport stores in the city center though, they sell Jokerit gear.

 

[SoundAndFury]

Jokerit is really impressive this season. Top line could and should do more 5 on 5 but other than that this team is really great. Definitely the best 4th line in the league too.

Teaser for the home opener with a glimpse to the capabilities of the new on-ice projection system. Looking good.

 

[Kshahdoo]

It's probably the strongest team, Jokerit has ever had in the KHL. At least, it looks like this so far. Coaching isn't lousy as well. Even if they lose to Admiral, it'll be a very good trip, and no Far East this season anymore.

 

[Dueling Banjos]

I wish them success in the playoffs, to finally eliminate one of the two juggernauts of the west.

 

[Kshahdoo]

I think, the 1st game in Helsinki now is gonna be sellout.

 

[Urbanskog]

I think, the 1st game in Helsinki now is gonna be sellout.

Seems that way. The marketing manager of Jokerit estimated there to be only 1000 tickets currently available.

So you ruled out the Gagarin Cup Finals?

Yeah, a joke.

To the topic, yes, the KHL needs such European/Asian teams.

Edit. and if the Jokerit marketing team can see this post, start producing and selling those "Guy Fawkes" type Jokerit masks!

Looks nice and they will also add rink side "Nissan" restaurant/pub to north side...ice level.

edit. and around 500 tickets left for Saturday's home opener vs Riga.
