WC: Team Finland

[kunekune]

Hartikainen and Marjamäki had a physical fight at the olympics. Teammates had to come to seperate them.

There were also pro Kukkonen and con Kukkonen sides at the olympics.

It's really high time that Marjamäki will be replaced. If the coach is involved in a physical fight with a player he is just incompetent to coach a team. Obviously Marjamäki lacks of authority by the players.

 

[schmiedi]

Which Players have declinced?

Barkov?
Teravainen?
Aho?
Ristolainen?
Niemi?
Rantaa?


Koivu-granlund-Rantanen Could be free soon.

 

[FiLe]

Which Players have declinced?

Everyone on your list except Teräväinen and Aho, whose official status ATM is "undecided".

Then there's Lindell, who declined. And Puljujärvi and Lehkonen, who are undecided.

---

As for stories about an altercation between a coach and a player, it'd be nice if some sources were provided when making such allegations. If there are none, and the claim is based on hearsay, that should be stated instead of dressing it as a fact.

 

[illone84]

Confirmed, Lehkonen will not play in Denmark. Taas iso takaisku Leijonille - Artturi Lehkonen ei lähde MM-kisoihin

 

[Eye of Ra]

The feeling in the air is that Aho, Pulju and Tevo will decline. And so will all finns playing in stanley cup. Marjamäki is the reason.

the d should be:

Lepistö-Ohtamaa
Pokka-Honka
Heiskanen-Jokipakka

Forwards fighting for a spot:

Haapala
Keränen
Junttila
Tuppurainen
Borgström
Juuso Ikonen
Enlund
Kemppainen
Anttila
Vesalainen
Palve
Manninen
Sandell
Suomela
Puustinen
Kallio
Peltola
Kuusela
PILLU
Koskiranta
Savinainen

People need to stop looking at age. Tuppurainen would be a good option for the 4th line.

Something tells me that Lepistö will decline as well. Would be cool if Borgström played in Denmark. And of course, your favourite, PILLU, will be there.

What happend with Pihlström after 2008? Before that he was a hitting machine. He lost his physicality after that season. Still a good player ofc.

If he does, at least the reason won't be Marjamäki. He just resigned with Jokerit, after all.

Is Pihlström healthy after surgery?

 

[FiLe]

Is Pihlström healthy after surgery?

If you're asking about his hand, he already played a couple of games in the playoffs. So I'd say yes. However, then he hurt his leg (or foot) in Game 2 of the CSKA series and has been sidelined since. Dunno how serious it is, but if it's not too serious, I guess there's still time.

Oh my goodness! Good enough for EHT but for WHC vs CAN(McDavid,Barzal,Ekblad etc.,US(Kane,Gudreau etc. and maybe Germany(Draisaitel)???

Big ouch, if Lepistö declines. His offensive qualities cannot be compensated in a situation were the NHLers let down their national team.

Pokka-Honka

I don't think there is any chance that the two righties form a pairing.

 

[Legend Leinonen]

Does Hakanpää have any chance making the team? He has looked awesome at Liiga playoffs. I'd like to see him in. Big bruiser and physical beast. Fast skater too.

It will partly depend on how many established Euro reliables Marjamäki has at his disposal, but it wouldn't be surprising at all if he makes it. Even in a situation where the management is not scraping the bottom of the barrel.

 

[Finnswiss]

So Finland will be composed only with players of the finnish Liiga and may be with player of the Swedish league, is that correct? No KHL, no NHL players at all?

What gave you this idea? Finland already has a number of KHLers on the ranks, and some overseas players will join next week.

What is a cause of some concern is that none of the so-called high-profile ones have affirmed their participation yet. But there's still plenty of time and many of those wouldn't join 'til a week before the games begin or so anyway.

 

[ijuka]

There will be a couple of NHL players and I assume none of the "big" names will be playing. I don't think any notable players will come play in world championships as long as Marjamäki is coaching. NHL players in general seem to really dislike him.

Jokiharju getting a look....Leijonien MM-leiriryhmään uusia pelaajia – mukana 18-vuotias yllätysnimi!

Välimäki vould be interesting as well. Is he playing in some junior playoffs now or something, does anyone know?

Source for this?

Also the Kukkonen thing smells like bs... what a weird post.
