Press the button, 0-1 goal.

That was filthy.

So he's 20, almost a ppg, leading his team in goals and tied for the team lead in scoring.

That's, like, really good isn't it?

Yes, really good start for him. 40-50 pts at the end of the season would be amazing break-out season.

The gold helmet is a good thing, right? Doesn’t it mean that he’s their leading scorer or something?

I have no idea what that announcer is saying, but I know good freestyle rap when I hear it.

 

[Dennis Reynolds]

Great goal. Excited for Puustinen.

As a long-time fan of Finnish hockey- the gold helmet is so stupid.

Why not just put a target on the player's jersey?

It looks like he wears the great Tyler Kennedy's old number.

 

[66-30-33]

Yes, really good start for him. 40-50 pts at the end of the season would be amazing break-out season.

I like when my favourite teams prospects have breakout seasons after being drafted. Sick goal too.

That is stupid, and lots of players have said the same thing. So easy to target the best player.

 

[tom_servo]

Gold helmet. What is this, the Tour de France?

Awesome goal though.

It doesn't matter. You don't think teams know when a teams best player is on the ice.

That goal was filthy. Definitely much better prospect then a typical 7th round pick. I love how the Pens choose one overated each drsft. Worked for Simon.

Of course they do know, but in the ice everything happens so fast, so when you see a blink of a golden helmet near you, it will keep you extra-on alert. Players have been saying that they get checked also lot more due to helmet.

 

[Jacob]

It does seem kinda silly. I’d expect that in an inline league maybe.

It seems to infer that the leading scorer is your best player but that’s often not the case. And who wears it for the first game of the year? What if a teammate gets 3 points in the 1st and takes the lead, do they switch helmets on the bench?

 

[Don'tcry4mejanhrdina]

Also, what if the new leading scorer has a giant head like OJ Simpson? Do they keep all sizes of golden helmets around, just in case? And what if he kills his wife and waiter, that golden helmet will stick out like a sore thumb when trying to flee police.

I'm legit laughing out loud.

Pens fans aren't talking much about Vatteri i see, he is having a good season so far. (or maybe he is been talked somewhere else)
13 goals, 12 assists, 25 points in just 29 games. - leads his team in goals, pp goals (4), +/- (+5) and in shot attempts (113), second in points.

 

[EightyOne]

We really don't focus too much on prospects during the season. Hope he keeps it up and can translate it to NA in the next year or so!

 

[The Greatest 101]

His numbers are solid at every level. We got a good one.

Have we learned nothing from dearly departed Jannneeeë Personen?

The gold helmet is a Finnish tradition signifying the end of reindeer milking season, as well as a solemn promise to score at least 40 goals on Sid’s wing.

I’m sorry this board doesn’t respect Finland enough.

Why would you respect a country full of drunken mute knife-fondling sauna addicts?

Wait. I answered my own question didn't I?

there has been some talk ni the proispects thread when he had a hot start. not much talk about him aletely tho.

i saw that he scored a goal in an international game too. nice that he gets rewarded by geting invited to the EHT (or whatever tha name is nowdays for the frindlys)
