I didn't read backwards, sorry. Perhaps others didn't either.

I guess the question now is- will Flip outscore Zata this year?

Sure as hell seems like it. Dunno if that's a good thing or a bad thing though :-X

Yeah, seriously. He's definitely playing well lately, but that tonight was about an elite play as you'll see in the NHL; it made me sit up like I'd been electrocuted. Just take the puck and BAM- TOP SHELF, motherf***er. (I'm pretty sure there's an expression like that in Finland.)

Far out he's insane this year.
He's such an effortless skater, creates so many chances because of his stride and vision.

Yeahp. Nobody on the team seems to think about points too much. It seems like Z won't score much more than at the pace he's at right now.

Except he really hasn't changed. He's always been this player but had his priorities to play defense first and second. Now he just has offense as his second priority instead of it being halfway down his list.That slap shot is the punctuation mark to the statement, "I'm Val Filppula and I've changed for the better!"

Really impressed with Flip. Finally the break out year we've all waited for.

I agree with most of what you said except I believe he really has changed in terms of confidence on the offensive end.

I never seem to have confidence in him when it comes to shootout situations. He capitalized on this one so good for him.
And yeah I was wrong about him tying his career high in points. I don't know what happened there. Maybe I was looking at someone else's stats on the chart, probably Franzen's. Sorry Hockey Gods!

I have been calling him out for a breakout year since not this past playoffs, but the year before. Finally it looks like I am right

Filppula has come a long way to becoming the player he is right now. I think he's a definitely a legit top 6 forward who we shouldn't give away in a trade for someone like Ryan, etc.

Funny tid-bits from the Free Press involving Filppula and Zetterberg
Great to see Filppula coming into his own. Skating great, playing his usual good defense, gaining confidence along with points and ice time. Keep it up, and pick up the pace, I want 70 points and at least 25 goals.
Funny tid-bits from the Free Press involving Filppula and Zetterberg
And here's that licorice update everyone has been anticipating: After finding out, thanks to a release from Panda licorice, that the Finnish product is a favored snack of NHLer Teemu Selanne, the question was put to the Wings' Finn, Valtteri Filppula, whether he, too, likes to indulge.
Locker stall neighbor Henrik Zetterberg overhead the question and broke in laughing. "Yes, he does, because Fil likes anything Teemu Selanne likes. If Selanne does it, Fil does it."
Filppula said he does, in fact, eat Panda licorice. When asked whether he also enjoys Angry Birds (also a Finnish export), Zetterberg interjected, "Yes, because there's not a lot of things you can do in Finland. Just eat licorice and play Angry Birds."

Haha... 'Nothing else to do in Finland except eat licorice and play angry birds'. Love the Nordic rivalry.
