Sebastian Aho is on fire

[Boom Boom Apathy]

That poster has been advocating trading Aho a bunch of times in the past. Not sure what the issue is. Maybe he's a Finnish fan who doesn't like that Aho isn't on his favorite NHL team?

 

[MinJaBen]

Someone needs to get both Sebastian ahos on one team just cuz messing with announcers is hilarious

Canes should trade away Hanifin and Fleury and bring in the Islander's Aho and the Saber's Falk so we can Justin have all the Fa(u)lk-ing Sebastian Ahos in the world.

Heck of a player.

That poster also attacks Laine whenever he can so i don´t know what´s bugging him

Yea, most of his posts are about Finnish players and how much they suck

Well, to be fair, Laine does suck pretty bad.

I mean, score some goals or something.

He's had an overdose of Laine and that hatred has spread faster than smallpox in the 18th century to include every player he ever played with.

Maybe he has a fear of the Amish? That Laine-beard is probably firmly on the Mennonite scale, trending Anabaptist at least. Those are advanced beard stats. Very cutting edge.

He is on fire, because he knows, Carolina will draft Svechnikov (Svechnikov means Chandler in Russian, btw).

We already tried this stunt with the Staals.

When you’ve missed the playoffs for 9 years, this is all you have left to live for.

Clearly Aho is superior to McDavid.

Just shows that it's not that often you come close to producing 10 points in 2 games even if you are the best player on the planet. And even before McDavid there have been many better players than Aho who haven't been able to do that.

Aho producing like this doesn't mean he is better player than McDavid or someone else, just that he is still very underrated star player in the league.

"Haven't been able to", or maybe some players don't see the point in stat-padding against South Korea.

 

[Kaako Kappo]

Can't wait to see him with that Russian guy whose name i can pronounce but can't type.

"Haven't been able to", or maybe some players don't see the point in stat-padding against South Korea.

So they intentionally just shoot the puck wide when they get the scoring chance?

C'mon man.

 

[RageQuit77]

Aho has been doing well, granted, against sub-bar team, and another team with sub-par performance.

"Haven't been able to", or maybe some players don't see the point in stat-padding against South Korea.

IIHF see the point and count those points too when they determine who was scoring leader of the tournament, so it's pretty irrational thing to not to do 'stat-badding' when ever possible for players in teams whom have chance to do that.

In the context of Worlds, it would be absurd thing to even add players to a roster who won't/doesn't want score when they get a chance.

In the context of HFBoards, no fan of those teams that got opportunity for 'stat-badding' against Korea should later come whine about how "those points doesn't count because they where scored against sub-par team" as that only begs the answer: "players of [insert team] had that chance too, why they didn't use it then?"

For example, Team Canada.

 

[FinnLightning26]

Aho is awesome. Canes are very lucky to have him.

 

[ulvvf]

i wish they had a seperate scoring league for points against the top nations. When you look back it is hard to know if the points is as impressive as it looks on paper, you have to dig or have good memory.

But then again, the same people that complain about this often do not have any problems with seeing players like Orr as the best the d-men ever just because he scored alot of points in NHL back in the days, they do not then consider how low level NHL was then compare to today, Orr would maybe not even be of NHl caliber today. Seeing orr as the best d-men because he dominated against weak opponets back in the days is the same as seeing Aho as the best player in the world because he scores alot of point against some weak nations in whc.

You can easily make a case he wouldn't get 140 points in today's NHL, but he won the Art Ross for god's sake, everybody got a chance to rack up points against weak teams

The whole NHL was of low level back then, so it was like facing south korea every day. Orr was maybe the best of his generation, but his generation was a very very weak one, that is a reality all nostalgic people should realize. NHl back then was probably at similar level as a second tier league in in sweden, finland or similar today. In whc the stats at least get even out little bit since they are also facing other top nations.

 

[Mav3rick07]

Sounds like a car.

The Volkswagen Aho - Turbo

This is gold, Jerry . Gold!

 

[Lennu32]

Deep inside men are savages, they want to go to the Canes game, have a few beers and cheer for Aho

 

[rickardr]

Yeah but he was still responsible 10 of 16 goals by team finland. And for example McDavid has 4 points in 2 games.

Yeah, against South Korea and Latvia. In NHL McJesus had 108 points in 82 games, Aho had 65 in 78. Sould say enough.

 

[SotasicA]

Why is this in the NHL forum?

I hear Mark Stone just scored 16 goals in a street hockey game with neighbourhoor kids. The Sens will surely beat everybody next season!

 

[Saekk]

This dude can't stop making Pejorative Slured hypeposts about finnish players on main boards.

Wow, hot take.
Maybe one of the most uninformed posts I have ever read on this site.
