Larmi has nice sense of humour.



"It has been a great honor to allow last goal Kaapo Kakko has scored in Finnish league and last he's ever going to have"



The silhouette has notable buildings of Hämeenlinna, the town he was last playing in. That includes the bollard of Sunny Car Center - a shady project on the planned car sales centre which never happened.

I have seen Larmi play couple of years in my favorite team. To describe his style I would say he is like a magician in drugs. It's quite a ride to see him play and it is a lot to say, when thinking how goaltenders become like robots. He is like wildchild on net and have very aggressive style. In Liiga he have let more softies than anybody else, but same time he have made more game savers than anybody else. Many times he make me cry when he goes behind the net and play poorly puck and opponent score because of that. It happens often. But same time to see his game saving skills. He is aggressive and challenge the shooter. He is amazing in brakeaways and shootouts. In playoffs he didn't let even one brake away and shootout goal. Did I mentioned that he played those play-offs with one knee?

If I have to compare him to some other goalie I would say Tim Thomas. Both small and aggressive guys. Of course I don't say that he would be in his level, but Larmi is maybe one of the hardest worker goalie we have seen.

EWWW BABEH!

Yeah, he was a peculiar type of poster from Romania or some such place. But he was right, so.........

 

[Tweed]

Sounds MAF'ish.

Our goalie depth looks good I think... even assuming Jarry gets dealt on the 2nd day of the draft to Vegas or SJ.. just sign a vet for the AHL (or to sit on the bench if you need to call someone up) like Stolarz or Wedgewood and we’re in business. I figure Larmi will platoon with the vet we sign and d’Orio, by far the younger prospect, starts in Wheeling to get minutes.

 

[PensandCaps]

Hate to give up on Jarry. He's performed well in the NHL when he has been up here.

I think he's a sure thing to be at worst a good backup.

Not particularly arguing, but either he or DeSmith pretty much has to go, and I think DeSmith won that one.

 

[Ryder71]

Gypsy?

Possibly, either that or a vampire.

Yeah. I'd trade DeSmith for a 3rd and keep Jarry as the backup.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

He's gone beast mode in the last 2 playoffs for Liiga. I think the guy has more to his game than people want to say, but I understand being cautiously optimistic with how this team handles Euro FA's and what not.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Yeah. I'd trade DeSmith for a 3rd and jeep Jarry as the backup.

Um, why?

Because of his potential you think he may live up to behind Murray? Jarry likely has a #1 caliber career in him, but he still has to work on his endurance with being a #1 and again, the WBS is going to not give him the chance to play the #1's work load like he should. I would rather just move him. DeSmith has been a quality back up for this team for 2yrs now, he's good in that role.

That's exactly it. I just think Jarry will be the better goalie one year from now. Jarry could still become a starter, DeSmith on the other hand has probably already hit his ceiling.

But I get where you're coming from. DeSmith is the safest pick and a decent backup.

Sums him up pretty nicely. Still only 22 tho with room to improve.



Bonus that he was a Pens fan growing up.
He'll see alot of pro shots in Wilkes.

 

[Jacob]

Wonder why hockeydb and eliteprospects have differing stats for him.
