Is that the final roster? Isn't it too early to name the final roster? When do they start their pre tournament tour against Finnish senior teams and how many games will they play?

Ilkka Sinisalo's son!

Ah, so that's why Tomas is born in Philly.. talk about obvious.. sometimes the brain just doesn't tick like it should.

 

[edd1e]

Looks good, i wonder if Lindgren will fill the gap that Nokelainen left.

4 Goalies? Why?

Will Rask still be elligable in 2007?

 

[NCSENSFAN]

Thanks for the help.

 

[Jacob]

What kind of season is Leinonen having?

 

[CtB]

Whose most likely to start in net?

 

[Crossroads*]

Whose most likely to start in net?

Rask. He is far better than Ramo. . .

 

[KH1]

Too bad we won't get to see a repeat of that great Tukonen-Nokelainen-Korpikoski line. They would be more entertaining now than even last year because especially Tukonen and Nokelainen have become so much better.

 

[Nielson81]

It's a solid team that's for sure alot of older guys, 18 and 19 year olds.

 

[Pepper]

Rask. He is far better than Ramo. . .

Ummm at this point you're wrong. Rämo is IMHO better goalie of the two.

 

[BADger]

About leinonen

What kind of season is Leinonen having?

So far he is playing in Karpat Junior team, because of the strong roster of Karpat men's team. In some weaker team in finnish league he would have surely already earned a spot in the men's roster.

Stats:
17 games, 3 goals, 6 assists, +21.

He is currently first in the league in +/- list.

 

[jepjepjoo]

Rask. He is far better than Ramo. . .

Actually Rämö has been far better this year... He has been posting Lehtonen like stats in the SM-liiga:

9GP 489.33minP 14GA 222S 1SO 2W-4T-1L 1,72Goals allowed per game 94,07S%

 

[Crossroads*]

Actually Rämö has been far better this year... He has been posting Lehtonen like stats in the SM-liiga:

9GP 489.33minP 14GA 222S 1SO 2W-4T-1L 1,72Goals allowed per game 94,07S%

Yeah, after 9 games played. Because Ramo has played well in 9 games, that makes him better than a goaltender that a professional scouting staff thought was good enough to draft in the first round.

I don't like your logic.

Rask >> Ramo.

What are you talking about? Kalpa has one of the weakest teams in the whole league

Yeah, after 9 games played. Because Ramo has played well in 9 games, that makes him better than a goaltender that a professional scouting staff thought was good enough to draft in the first round.

I don't like your logic.

Rask >> Ramo.

Could this be in any way based on potential? Because it really isn't the same as right now, and that's what its about, right now. Rämö > Rask at this moment in time. Noticed how both of who responded to you are finnish, unlike you, a leafs fan?

 

[Diaboli]

Ilkka Sinisalo's son!

he was doing quite well with Saipa, even without the points, but was kicked out, because our coach Heikki Mälkiä said he started to float

I suggest you may look at their junior stats from last year as well. I think you'll find that Ramo had better stats.

By the way, I don't like your logic.
