No injury, there's just no role for him on the first team right now. He also wouldn't be playing in the junior finals if he wasn't fit. Kind of a mystery altogether...
It's pretty cool that Patty Eaves' brother Ben is Pulkkinen's teammate.
I wonder if those two ever talk about him and his chances for the NHL.
I'm sure they have, even though Teemu is the kind of person who doesn't want to get ahead of himself and just keeps focusing on the now instead of the future. I'm sure his injury-plagued last season was a good reminder to him.
He should win the rookie of the year award in FEL by a landslide and that alone would be quite an achievement for him, not to mention he is likely a top-10 scorer in the league this season.
I'm sorry but I don't care about Mike Fisher or his bride. I find it hilarious that all the media is focusing on the marriage aspect of the trade and not ONE announcer has focused solely on the trade alone. Poor guy will forever be known as Carrie Underwood's husband.
I'm not sure I'd use the phrase "poor guy" in this case.
I'm just getting the feeling he won't be coming to Detroit. And unless he's really, really willing to play for the Wings I don't like the idea of him on the team. He would probably be more of a liability than an asset.
How the hell were we supposed to win game 7 last year anyway, scoring only one goal and a fluke one at that. It's funny how most losses are pinned on one guy or one play when there's a bigger problem in the background.
