Man, was I ever disappointed to find out that the Tampereen Ilves translates to lions. I thought they were the elves and had a jersey in my cart...

In Finnish it actually translates to Lynx.
Tampereen is similar to Calgarian.

Well, as far as I could find out, outside of those few free games (available only through VPN), there's no official online service available for North American viewers right now.
Dumb obviously. I'm always amazed at how hard it is for entertainment providers to take people's money.

Valimaki is leading the league for D scoring. 4th over all.

I did a calculation. I don't know how accurate but it said 8 points in 7 games in Liiga is an NHLe of 42. I'd take a 42 point Valimaki all day!

He's still learning to be a professional too. So many positives with this kid.
I don't think I was this excited for a prospect since Sean Monahan.

As it stands, he might be the best option on PP1, since Gio is kinda ehhh there

I was pretty excited for Bennett. I was less for Tkachuk but maybe that was because of Bennett.

I honestly think they should be giving looks to Valimaki, Andersson and Kylington on the PP next season.
Gio is getting older, Hanifin has been fairly unimpressive when on a unit.

Still room for improvement, I see.

GOAT!

If Valimaki-Andersson becomes our next MacInnis-Suter, we’re in really good shape.
Edit: Not talking about Al’s clapper or Suter’s nastiness, btw.

Välimäki just extended his point streak. Great pass to Ruotsalainen, Ilves leading 3-1 against their local rival Tappara 3-1 after 2 periods.

Great lid on Val. Maybe the Flames should go gold helmets.
Nice hands on that Routsaleinen kid, too.

Not sure whether you are aware but the current highest scoring player on each SM Liiga team wears a gold helmet.

Second in scoring and T1 in +/-
On a side note, I love how they give the total pluses and total minuses and the net, as opposed to just the net number that you get here. Much more useful information. (Valimaki is +9 and has been on the ice for 14 goals for and 5 goals against.)
