Ive seen a lot of goalies across Europe and the NHL, and i would say Kari is second only to Hasek, i know its early and SM-Liiga isnt as good as the show, but i honestly believe Kari will become the greatest Finnish NM of all time, ahead of Myllys and Tammi!
When Hurme and Nurminen sucked in MM2003, i thought Kari could have done a job in 'that match' vs Sweden.
Kari rules, and hope to see his NHL debut before this season is out...!

It's looking like Kari's NHL debut will be this Saturday at home against Washington.

Not 100%, but it's solid conjecture. He played Thursday night for the Wolves and I doubt the Thrashers would want to have his debut come one night after playing a game in the A. The Thrashers themselves have back-to-back games starting tonight, so it makes sense to put Pasi in tonight and Kari in tomorrow.
