How is his skating? And how is his defence and play without the puck?

 

[leaflover]

He was another(along with Tolvanen) who impressed me at the U17 last year. I don't know how much more he'll grow but he needs to get stronger at least.

 

[JJTT]

Impressive game vs USA at the Ivan Hlinka with two goals. Really eager to shoot the puck, good hands and great skating aiblity. Needs to gain a ton of weight though.

Reminds me of the Swedish Aho

Reminds me of the Swedish Aho

It always makes me smile for no apparent reason when some one mentions the Swedish Aho.

Committed to Denver yesterday.

I always think the Swedish one is the one drafted by the Canes amd I'm always wrong when I remember the Finnish Aho.

How bad defenceman can be.
This dude was probably one of the worst defenceman's in Finland's U18 WJC team.

His performance in gold medal game vs USA was horrendous.
He was on the ice the first two USA's goal and both ****ing times he stands beside like stone gargoyle and looks how USA scores empty net.

This dude has played all year in USHL and he's played against USNTDP team and still he has not even learned to defend and keep his own men out of rebounds.
What the hell this floater has done all season in USHL is even developed his weaknesses and defensive awareness or is he just eaten jelly donuts and big-macs all year.

 

[Teemu]

After watching him in the USHL, I couldn't believe that he was named to Finland's team.

Eero is Teuvo's little brother.
So he was in Finland's team just by his last name.

This is quite uncalled for tbh.

Even if the guy doesn't fit your standards as a hockey player or if he wasn't up to par against USA I don't find it cool to crucify one single player like this, especially when we're talking about a 17-yo kid.

Especially when today was clearly not about one player being outmatched, but the whole team.

[Artorius Horus T]

Yeah. Had a great HIFK, Sm-Liiga debut yesterday, only 20 years old, 5 foot 11 / 176 lbs LD. Time will tell what will come out of him.
Eero had a goal and an assist in his debut game.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Scored 3 goals 33 points in 44 games in the Junior-A, prior to this Sm-Liiga debut.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Lots of things has happened in 3 years i reckon.
Who would of known, a 17 year old d-man wasn't quite ready yet as a hockey player? .
