Rather than invading the various NHL threads from time to time, I thought that ice hockey this side of the pond deserved its own thread.
SM Liiga, err, kicked off last night with the opening game in H?meenlinna, where we were the guests. In front of an unsurprisingly sparse crowd, officially given as 2006 but looking nowhere near that from what I could see from the TV, we grabbed all three points thanks to a 2-4 victory. We managed to end the first period 2-1 down despite being more dominant, levelled matters in the second, and finally got away from our hosts in the third. Our first line of Py?r?l? - Kunyk - and my son's would be drinking partner* Puljuj?rvi played particularly well.
*Earlier this summer my son was ambling around the town centre when he spotted Jesse and decided to go and chat with him. The got on pretty well and so Jesse suggested they go to a pub for a beer or two. My son replied that no can do because he's only 17. Wouldn't have happened in my day...
