At the time of Jukka Jalonen selecting him for the Finnish roster i seem to recall he was even sent down from the AHL. Then he goes and beats teams he had no business beating to win gold. You seem to like saying "you have no idea" a lot, seems like your thing. However like i said, i did have a strong idea at that time already. Give it a rest and have another sip of crow milk shake.
he wasn't on the hawks radar as much as he should've been after the gold at the world championship and anyone saying he was is just making shit up at this point...there were a few on this board that went to bat for lankinen but he wasn't really talked about in the press or by the team talking heads despite his accomplishment for team finland...he came into this year 3rd on the depth chart and it seemed like nobody really questioned why he wasn't in the conversation for starter to start the season...its all revisionist history at this point, stan is a genius etc etc
