^^ #26 Toni Söderholm , maybe the Lukko player should wear better gloves
When I first saw highlights of the match I thought Mikkel Bødker was so sure he had scored the empty netter that he raised his hand to cheer prematurely. Now I can see it was more in pain getting hit over his hand. Söderholm is not even close at going after the puck...he is surely aiming at something higher up!
He owns 5% of KalPa - with teams barely making a profit left right and center I'd calll that investment charity
Hartnell probably fell prey to the age-old Finnish negotiation tactic. Timonen and S.Kapanen took him to a sauna somewhere at the shores of Lake Kallavesi, and poured so much Kossu down his throat that by the time the sun was setting (and that can take a while in summertime), he had no idea what he was signing.
Coming to check out said investment in this case is a no-brainer - he's been sleeping on the couch ever since the missus found out where and how the kids' college fund went.

I do think that pontikka is the preferred drink over there though...
Both were playing under loan contracts with the caveat that they can be recalled the moment the main club requires their services again due to e.g. injuries, player recycling, strained thumb on the regular waterboy... you name it.
It's simply an unfortunate coincidence for TPS that their respective clubs (Lugano and Lev Praha) decided to recall them at relatively the same time.
Lars Eller (Montreal) has signed for JYP. It's a danish invasion to Finland - you have 66% of all danish NHL'ers now (4 of 6) and 6 players in all. That's more than SEL.
He will start playing from the 12'th of november.
Peter Regin still left from the Danish NHL-players. Maybe KalPa since they just lost Craig Smith.
Nichlas Hardt and Simon Nielsen must have made some advertizing about SM-liiga during the WC to the rest of the danish players, since they keep coming. Peter Regin has ended his short stay in Langenthal i Switzerland and will return to Ottawa, so he is actually free to play for any finnish club.
To be fair.. Yes I remember, it was awesome goal. Denmark did great at those championships, they won other "big" countries too. They would be welcome to the so called hockey top nations as well as would Norway. It would be really cool if we had hockey big in every nordic country.. Then it would make up an awesome Nordic / Scandic League.
I hope no one comes to say anything about scandinavia now. I dont care what it is, if there is Scandinavia + Finland, basicly word scandinavia can be used because Finland was part of Sweden when the word was invented.

It would actually be great to have a Denmark-Finland-Norway-Sweden tournament, but so far it ends up being Euro Hockey Tour instead. Since Karjala is a beer, Denmark wouldn't mind playing in that cup
Both Denmark and Norway still need all their best players to be competitive, but since it's lockout year why not? What better practice before the olympic qualifier.
About Scandinavia---since Denmark has lost our "land to the east" (and I'm not referring to Gotland and Estonia) we are not strictly speaking Scandinavian anymore. So Denmark-Finland could play without having that semantic battle
If we could call it "Norden" (Nordic) then we have the semantics battle with Estonia (and Latvia?) if they are in or out

Also seems like Peter Regin is coming to...
...wait for it...
...wait for it...
...Lukko.
Yeah according to this newspaper it certainly looks like it (with my limited ability to read finnish ) -> but i could guess that tanskalaismafia can only mean "danish mafia"
But then again (beside mafia conspiracies) Peter Regin and Frans Nielsen are old friends from Herning, so that's probably why he chose Lukko instead of another finnish club.
