That is some pretty nice equipment right there.
Agreed! I also can't wait to see Hellberg's equipment. He's going to look beastly!

Antti Raanta rooted for Blackhawks playoff loss, ‘pissed off’ about treatment
I don't know if you guys saw this, sorry if it's been posted elsewhere on your board.

He was brought in to be Talbot's replacement. From what I've heard, Raanta was very well-liked, so I doubt any of us are worried about him being a problem in the locker room. I can understand why he was so upset about it.I was just going to come here and post this.
Of course some of us at the Hawks board feel this is out of character for Raanta, and that maybe it was taken out of context. However that quote seems pretty clear cut. Hope he doesn't turn out to be a bad character for your team's locker room. That is of course if he is even expected to play. I don't know what your roster looks like this season.

You never know what happens between coach and player. He very well could have had a bad experience with Quenville, it happens. That said, that seems pretty odd for a hockey player to beak off to the media like that. I hope it's a one off thing. He probably said some stuff he never figured would get back to the US/North America.
9/2/15 | 3:30PM: Raanta spoke with Chicago writer Mark Lazerus and Lazerus sent out the following tweets:
Regarding the story about him rooting against the #Blackhawks, Antti Raanta just told me he “never said anything like that.” (Lazerus)
Raanta said he was frustrated at first, but it “only took one day” because when he got to Chicago, his teammates were “so happy to see me.” (Lazerus)
Antti Raanta: “I’m not that kind of guy, that I would say something like that, and hope my team to lose, even if I’m not playing goalie.” (Lazerus)
Whatever went down really, will stay unknown. I'd be pissed too. Rantaa backed-up the Craw and did very well. Then steps in big dude Darling and steals his job. So I get it. Anyhow, looking forward to him.
So you'd root again your own team because of that?
Hahah thats So Raanta and its awesome.
