The Finnish Flash is now The American Flash

Wise decision. He will now watch WW3 evolving from a different continent which proved to be a safe way last time.

Finally. Trump gets another vote though

Probably would have been easier to fly from Helsinki to Mexico and walk in.

No need to go through the cost and hassle to complete naturalization.

Even a thread about a retired Finnish player living in California somehow includes Auston Matthews.

USA loading up for playoffs.

Cap circumvention smh

Always loved my birthday twin (7/3/70)!

Just out of curiosity, not related at all, care to share your mother's maiden name and the name of your first pet?

I’m concerned about the playoff implications for the Leafs due to Temmu’s decision

Surprised it took him this long.

Does he have to give up his Finnish citizenship?

Teemu was my favorite player and I wish he never retired.

Because once he did retire, he suddenly had time to say stuff in public about things he has feelings about and the illusion wore off

Selanne has aged well, not one grey hair on that man.

Free speech is a beautiful right.

NHL players are the best at chasing rubber disks and running into other dudes on skates, which doesn't mean they'll be good at anything else in life or think about the plebs.

He has always had it.

For some people it's not advantageous to use it much though

not as i recall

my mom's a born finn and she naturalized here, i think she's now a dual citizen also

The world would be a much better place if he never registered to Twitter.

He likely will though. He has this idea that only Finland is accepting of immigrants and other sexual orientations than his own.

I don't understand.

I don't understand.

He spews vitriol about how awful Finland is and how the rest of the world is wonderful

I'd love to recite that old tweet of his regarding Valavuori but this is the wrong place for that.

Meh. Many people do that about their own country. I do it myself. The only difference : I don't see the outside world as wonderful.

Anyway, thanks for the answer.

Not in the way Teemu does. Not at all.

 

[daver]

His love of guns was the clincher.

 

[Albatros]

He'll be happier in America.

Depends what he wants. He doesn't have to, if he doesn't want to.
Although, if he doesn't want to, he gotta stay X amount of months in Finland each year.
(i don't remember how many months is required)
