Didn't he say we wasn't going to participate?
- Whiskey-Tango

I know Jagr said that originally (because he is too old) but was later convinced to participate by Teemu Selanne

Christ i love this, from the leafs thread:

"i love how Kapanen was the ONLY Finn on the ice not involved at all in that goal. He was floating around the front of the net... but not too close to the front of the net, just close enough so that he won't get touched and doesn't do F all.

The trade is going to end up being Kessel for a 2nd"

Minus the crazy eyes, but yeah, there's lots of similarities. They are both big guys who skate well with good hands, but hockey sense might not be there. I think that Virtanen might have more hits already in his career than Kassian ever did though.

Virtanen is only 6'1. He doesn't look big out on the ice.
Hopefully hes sent back to junior, clearly not ready for the NHL.

I would guess the Malbec is from Argentina, and you can get some damn good bottles for $20 from Argentina.

Not sure but it was goooood

Time for some heroics on his part.

I will get he ball rolling. Benning should target those two big Fins not a Dman with the first pick

Time for some heroics on his part.

Nice call buddy!

2nd Assist for Virt

Oh, nvm

Virt causing disturbance in front

Wow, Blackwood is a P.O.S

Time for some heroics on his part.

He was lazy getting back onside there, nearly cost them the goal.

This Canadian goalie sucks.

Is Ferarro calling that guy Ahole

Sooooo... goalie change?

Or maybe just pull him and go with six skaters for the rest of the game.

Better for him, better for us.

Better for him, better for us.

Yep, seems to be a one-trick pony.

Stand in front of the net, or skate around the net a few times.

Better for him, better for us.
- CubanBuffet

Is he still 18 or did he turn 19?

Not sure but it was goooood
- VANTEL

There's a pretty huge difference between a $10-12 bottle and a $20-30 bottle.

There's a really effective player there, he just needs more time.

I love it so much.


Canada vs Finland. Whole country tuned in.

Vancouver fans: Leafs obsessed.

I don't think he can use his best weapon in this European Tournament . He would be in the box so much. He is not suited for this style. He is not a skilled bigger ice player. He can't be that horrible the coach keeps sending him out in all key situations in an elimination game

John Scott for President Hey, it's better than Trump!

I love it so much.

You guys are talking about Virtanen in your thread...

The whole country isn't tuned in, give your head a shake. No one really cares about this tournament.

I love it so much.

Says the dude who repeatedly reads the entire Canucks thread and at times, creates an entire page full of responses

Nice dive Strome. Trying to get a major...
