It's more like Samppoo.Isn't Sampo how Finns pronounce Shampoo?

Sampo is the mythical artifact that brings riches and good fortune to its owner in Kalevala.
Would be even nicer if we lose against Sweden. I'll work the early shift on the day of game 3 and if that game matters I'll have to start at 04:30 so the late shift can finish earlier for the guys to watch the game. It's a transition tournament for our team anyway and I really wouldn't like to have to wake up that early....now if the German NT could overcome their idiot coach today as well, that'd be nice...
Also Chad is a really cool name for a country.All I can say is that's a really cool name for a hockey player.

– “Ranta is far from being a complete player at the moment, but he has really good tools to become dangerous power forward when he gets it all together. He is a strong player for his age and he has shown above average skating and stickhandling abilities.”
– “The always-intriguing combination of the S’s: speed, size and shot are what make Ranta a border-line 1st round pick. He projects to be a good complementary power forward that can be used on the power play as well."
Profile.
Hradek says he sees himself more as a skilled guy but others think he would be better as power forward.

This also relates to the Mystery Science Theater 3000 video above, I reckon.
In the interviews yesterday he mentioned that he's fairly one-dimensional and went to Wisconsin so that Granato can help him expand as a player. I think there is some hidden potential here and why Avs traded back to get him. Actually, I guess the player the Avs wanted was taken above (either Thomas or Groulx) so they traded back and picked up another player they liked. They probably had Annunen as their 3rd rounder from the beginning of day two.Meh. As a project you could do worse, but he seems like a real blinders-on kind of player and that isn't an easy thing to fix in a young player.

Also for a fun fact, from the Av videos they posted yesterday Tony Granato was at the Avs draft party. Lol.
