/hoc/ Finns are bad at hockey edition

>finnish """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""hockey""""""""""""""""""""
VERY good thread, OP.

>zero olympic gold medals
>zero players drafted first overall

which hockey "power" is this?

>halak is crushing it in the AHL

This is such bullshit, why does this fucking guy have to suffer forever?

>The best Finnish hockey player peaked in his rookie season

Pathetic

JAPAN STRONK

They hate us cuz they ain't us

>Best Finnish hockey player was a Hawerchuk baby
It keeps getting worse

>Laine single-handedly losing Central the ASG

Sad!

>Hawerchuk baby
>baby

get a load of this newfag

We don't hate you. Pity is more accurate

>finnish goaltending

actually that was the reddithawks
laine was a close 2nd

Kurri > Selanne

>shit>dogshit

riveting

...

>literally in the no-touch area when the goal is scored
what did the mongol fuckhead mean by this?

How many games until this happens again?

How can Pulju be "part" of the "golden" """"generation""" when he is playing in the AHL?

patrick is brutal out there

your skills dont mean shit if you cant skate

imagine getting concussed without hitting your head

That's definitely worrisome coming from a Coilers fan, i.e. a true bust expert.

So he's another Pulju you say?

Pretty pathetic desu. You have to be a pretty soft babby player for that to happen.

Keep in mind it's Finland we're talking about, their standards are much lower than that of the real hockey powers.

>worst case scenario

what are we even discussing??
are you guys serious? that team made the playoffs 2 years ago and I don't remember if they made it last year too.

Just trade him to the fucking flames already

looks like dylan strome

smart, talented, probably had a great shot and pass, but always one step behind the play

puljujarvi is the opposite, fairly quick but doesnt really know where to go

so he can get lit up behind the flames dreadful defense?

Yeah I'm sure he'd rather rot in the ahl.

well if this game is showing us anything its that you do not want to draft a fucking defencemen because these guys are clueless

hes terribly inconsistent at the nhl level, basically pavelec or smith

flamers should be going all in on grubauer

>young dmen playing with a bunch of new forwards they've never played with until tonight
>looking clueless

no shit retard

they should be going all-in on anyone who can save that underperforming defense core

nobody can save hamiltons terrible pinches, brodies awful first pass, or giordano getting bullied off the puck

>Zibanejad's dad cant see him play because of the travel ban

Good job you retards

he should have no problem if he's a dual citizen like his son

He's a dual citizen of Sweden and Iran. So is Mika, I think. They should be fine

like who cares?

Wow I care so much about one single person

WHEAT

lmao he plays for the >rags now you buttblasted fucking snesfaggot

They said at first that dual citizens were banned. I don't know what what happened after that.

But I think his dad is in the US, he just can't travel out of it or there might be trouble getting back in.

Zibanejad isnt a dual citizen

>Patrick's destiny is to take the faceoff and go to the bench

I don't even follow hockey but this is my favorite OP of all time.

Well done.

Patrick Nolan's destiny is to be a bust

...

Meh, he has time to improve his skating.

Look at Philippe Myers. He was slow as fuck in his draft year and it cost him being drafted. Sin then, he worked really hard on it after being signed by Philly and is their 2nd best defensive prospect now.

i heard puljujarvi has a pretty decent looking sister

Yeeee

Well he's going to be drafted by >my Avs so of course

No, imagine Pulju with long blonde hair and you have his sister.

sounds hot

are finnish "people" even considered human?

>Buttman won't give the top pick to Detroit for muh shekels.

let's be real. we'd all do her.

>philly got a decent 6'5 RHD prospect for free

not a bad get

him*

Atleast he isn't as eerily similar to his sister like Crosby.

They look disgustingly alike though. She has his mongol lips. Seriously never seen any other human have lips like that.

Well except niggers lmao are finns just white skinned niggers?

>goal scorer's goal

I find Kessel weirder than Crosby

This game is more useful to see players all together all at once rather than attempting to divine which one has the best positioning.

Sounds stupid, and yet it has a very specific meaning that any non-casual knows

>She has his mongol lips
not liking GDSLs
get it together, canada

Sarcasm?

>he'd like that one back

>just gotta keep moving our feet, play our game, get pucks on net

>San Jose Sharks
>There are no sharks in San Jose

>we just gotta go out there and execute our game plan

Can we all agree that there is no reason to care abour the 2017 draft.

When Patrick and Hischier are supposed to be the best players in the draft and both look weaker than the 2 last years' top 5 players, you know it's awful.

>los angeles king
>the only american monarch was in hawaii

>calgary flames

>Calgary Flames
>No flames in the arena

>saddledome
>is actually a paddledome

The past two drafts have been exceptional. This is more back to normal

hirchier looks decent enough

>isn't square
>isn't in madison
>the rags belong in a garage

Gotta go a few miles north for that

But user, even 2013, 2010 and 2009 had better top 5

NHL is probably the only league where most of it's teams names are relevant to their locations

And you, why aren't you hyped by Andrei "The next Alex Ovechkin" Svechnikov?

he's really impressed you from your time watching the USHL eh?

>left handed

He has been much more dominating than draft eligible players like Mittelstadt, Tolvanen and Bowers. Considering he's eligible next year and Mittelstadt is considered by nhl scouts as a top 6 pick in this draft, there is a good reason to be hyped.

Please post a webbum of Laine's target shooting so I can laugh heartily.

Do you think a jokester told him that the goal was not to hit the targets?
