Finnish Hammer

Pulkkinen scored a power play goal at 8:16 in 2nd. 1-2 to Pelicans at the moment. 3-3 after OT. Shootout coming! Jokerit won. Ben Eaves with the winner. Pulkkinen tonight, PP goal, -1, 6 shots icetime 17:48

Djurgården - Jokerit 2-3 after 2nd period. Pulkkinen got an assist on Jokerit 2nd goal. 3-3 now. 49 mins played. Overtime. Winner goes to playoffs. Yes! Jokerit wins. PP goal at 4 minutes to the overtime. And yes, it was Pulkkinen! So 2+4 in 5 games, looking good.

No points for TP tonight, Jokerit lost 2-1 against Färjestad. Penalty Färjestad #31 Dick Axelsson 2min for slashing and 2+2 for roughing and Jokerit #18 Semir Ben-Amor 2+2 min for roughning. 2 min PP for Jokerit Ha! Dick messed with wrong guy (Ben-Amor is finnish version of enforcer) and maybe the best at the moment (imho) last game of group stage tomorrow against djurgården, jokerit must win to qualify for playoffs.

European Trophy

Pulkkinen just scored from a breakaway. Score is 1-1. After 9mins 2nd period over. 2-1 to Linköping. Game over. 3-1 to LHC. Pulkkinen 3 gp 4pts (1+3)

I really cant say, I only saw him couple times last season, and both times it was on tv. But if you look his stats, I think he will be a really good goal scorer. Will form my opion after the season. I might comment on his play during the season, maybe

Update: Pulkkinen has played in 2 games in European Trophy. on Wednesday 2 assists in 3-1 win against HIFK Helsinki, and on friday 1 assist vs Våleranga (Jokerit won 2-1). Dont know anything else at the moment (icetime, shots...), been too busy this week. Oh, and Ben Eaves (Patricks brother) made his comeback on fridays game. next game vs Linköpings HC, wednesday 25th AA

Well a week ago or so, there was a interview on Jokerit official site, there he said he's skating with the team, but no contact allowed yet. Nothing was said when he would be back in full training let alone matchfit. He said that his shoulder still needs little bit more stregth, but it already feels good. He also says that he had a bit different summer than usually (training wise). There was lot of strength training and he gained weight also, and less running (atleast long runs). But anyway, I try to keep you guys updated, as I watch lots of Jokerit games. European trophy started today, Jokerit won Adler Mannheim 2-1. Nathan Robinson (remember him) scored for Mannheim. And sorry for my grammar, in know its not correct but I try my best. AA

Yeah, Matt played 11 games last season (0+3), but he was, well, s***! But Shedden played him in 3rd and 4th lines with limited icetime. But back to Leino. I have not heard or read anything about Ville signing with Wings (or anyother NHL team). All I know he must sign before 1st of June. And all he can get is a two-way one year deal. (correct me if im wrong). I would love to see him play with the wings but he must play in top 2 lines, so that would meant that Holland and co. must kick Samuelsson out or some one else... I will report if anything happens with this matter, as will propably the other Finns too

Damn, this is too difficult. All I see is this commercial with crosby...

Where should i see this game activation thingy?

Little help, please. What I have do with this online user registration? I chose Free Preview but it says something wrong with billing address? Is this free preview only available in USA? (im in Finland)

Oh yes he was. I had forgetten about it. well it was 13 years ago.

Well, im off to watch this one on tv. Prediction 6-2 (+fight)

Really? Thats nice. Man I felt bad when I heard he was traded to Whalers (for about 15 seconds) but Paul was one of greatest players ever!

Thanks. Paul was my idol when I was a kid (about 15-20 years ago) and when Red wings traded for him I bought the shirt instantly. Its the only Wings shirt I have.

Yeah, but it makes me angry when he does it. Thank god ozzie is in goal tonight. Hope they have Detroits feed in Canal+ tonight. I think im going to put my Coffey #77 shirt on for tonights game, its little tight but hey, what the hell. no one is going to see me.

Great news! But theres nothing about Flip? Is he out or not? And if hes not injured why is langfeld/samuelsson in the lineup.

Dom in open ice =

yes he did. i was listening that game. but my source is not very reliable. I think they are just guessing, because Bert is in the first line tonight. Or is he? 1 hour to the faceoff. Im going to enjoy wathing this one. Was it Norrena perhaps?

wasnt it against flames? when pavel scored?

Filppula is not in lineup tonight. Why? Injury? Forwards Holmstrom - Datsyuk - Bertuzzi Calder - Lang - Hudler Maltby - Draper - Samuelsson Cleary - Franzen - Langfeld (from finnish hockey forum)

Holy diver!

Naslund dived...

Yeah. 1st career hat trick coming?
