Prospect Info: Juuso Parssinen, C, 210th Overall, TPS

[desmondtootoo]

He’s Finnish, good pick.

But can he finish....

 

[desmondtootoo]

Wait, wut? Like 36 overall, or 36 in euro forwards?

# 36 among Finnish Buddhist left-handed midgets with a club foot. There was a surprisingly large number of them this year.

 

[desmondtootoo]

His last name translates to “grower and seller of parsnips”. So that’s a pretty good thing for playing in Nashville.

 

[Scoresberg]

What in God’s name are you talking about? Did you have something to add to this conversation or?

 

[Flgatorguy87]

Guy is seriously outplaying his draft spot.

It’s called “jokes”. Sometimes known as “play on words”. I’m sorry you haven’t heard of this. Take a break from “uptight guy who must be in charge of the thread” and it may all make sense to you !
Exactly how deep and philosophical can you get analyzing a 210th pick ?
Have I wrecked a Pulitzer worthy treatise on the life of Puupsi Woopsidoopsi ?
Sorry man, Didn’t mean it. But .... you probably need some humor more than anybody ...,..

 

[Scoresberg]

Added another helper last night. Now up to 5 points in 6 games.

Juuso Pärssinen: Trial by Fire

I think he's got the makings of a defensively responsible 3C...the Finnish Bonino maybe?

 

[Dr Quincy]

Has an assist in today's game. Was credited with the 2nd goal, but somehow it was changed to Pajuniemi. One cool thing the Liiga site does is include the "fastest skater" for each team, which is just a "who hit the highest km/p" at any point in the game (doesn't measure first step, etc). Supposedly skating held Parssinen back, but in this game anyways he clocked the fastest speed for TPS through 2 periods.

Pärssinen made it onto the Finnish U20 WJC team.

Pärssinen made it onto the Finnish U20 WJC team.

It was preliminary list of potential U20 WJC candidates.
Finland's official U20 WJC roster will be announced 12th or 13th December.

Definitely looking forward to getting to watch him play in Edmonton.

Definitely looking forward to getting to watch him play in Edmonton.

Has practiced as the 2C for Team Finland. Looking forward to seeing him in a big role.

 

[Scoresberg]

Pärssinen the 2C as Finland takes on USA tonight.

 

[Gnashville]

Pärssinen the 2C as Finland takes on USA tonight.

I thought the Jr’s didn’t start until Christmas.

Pre tournament competition

 

[King Weber]

1+1 in the pre-tournament game against USA. Both on the powerplay.

Goal:


Assist:

 

[Scoresberg]

Even disregarding the points, I thought he was Team Finland's best forward last night.

 

[herzausstein]

Looks like he may have a real shot at making it to the NHL one day. That’s amazing considering his draft spot

 

[Flgatorguy87]

Already playing in a men's league. Is he closer to ready that some of the other kids at this point?

 

[King Weber]

 

[Porter Stoutheart]

Parssinen and Chistyakov stepping up like they have is really a huge bonus to our prospect list!

 

[Scoresberg]

Gorgeus. Love Pärssinen.

 

[Soundgarden]

Beautiful goal, some great vision, his head's up the whole time.
