Let’s restart from a good trainer. I think the thread off is now to develop - starting from that role and going to the management - a solid base. First new players seems to indicate the way of a team that could be rely on defense and positive attitude despite the pure talent. I think now it’s a...

Congrats to Tappara for the title

Also in this case I cannot say it’s a little loss, it’s clearly disappeared as the rest of the team in the playoff but the impact in RS has been important. I think with the new ilves we’r thinking to have a more solid defense before too creativity on forwards (probably on input of the new...

Considering the age one I would have held if possible also if he has not probably as much leadership as scoring ability (but it’s young). Anyway we will miss 20 goals for a season, it’s something not easily replicable. All the best for his future

Bryggman is the example of the attitude of players I would like to see on Ilves from next year. Some emotions and not robots can help in key moments

Upon the rest an error to speak about Toronto because it has create an “excuse” of what wasn’t going well. All know that if you are not winning for years is because probably you don’t have a winning culture (it’s normal) but it’s not to remark this in front of the press that you do something to...

For me probably the example that more than the others showed a bad handling of the resources. It’s not possible that a young player passed in a couple of weeks from being one of the best sniper of the season to the scared guy of the playoff. It’s hard for me not thinking that at the first errors...

Poor attitude, I can accept not all the changes go in the right way but at least Lancaster would have fought, Niku seemed more interested to spend some time in the nice Tampere.

The example of stats don’t tell everything. He has potential, kg, offensive mindset but… also an attitude when things turned to be wrong that clearly told why there’s no space for him in NHL

We went out with a big demerit with a team starting from the bench showed no passion, no leadership and no ideas. It’s not possible the trainer at the last timeout of the season remains isolated as he is seeing a movie at the cinema. You’r losing the entire season, try at least all what could be...

Come on, head, patience, passion and… Stransky! I have bought my 8th seasonal games (at the moment the only one won in the serie). Will the tradition be repeated? :)

Series that seemed totally finished and buried like the pelicans one f.i. are now reopened. To us now the chance to replicate this

At the moment weak as defenseman and not so special offensively. Not a big deal unfo, happy to reverse my idea

For sure. It seems we are not able to change a situation when it turns to negative where instead we seemed to be superstars when all was going well. Lost for lost or confused for confused why not go for a change at the bench putting one Ilves man like Helminen as head coach and try to play the...

Honestly I don’t know, it’s clear to not be able to win in last 30 years it makes some pressure, same pressure you have also if you are theoretically much more talented than a quarter final opponent. Add to this also a best in class arena where it seems you can only win and instead all the away...

I would say first of all congrats to our opponent, they are playing on overall better on 5 vs 5, in particular tonight. We are able to make some difference (due to a general higher quality of players) only on 4 vs 4. But… I repeat myself, where the organization as a team counts they are doing...

I really need a Finnish bath to calm me down, it has been a really really underwater second period. This serie is making me mad ehehehhe

Only the future will tell if something has changed yesterday. For sure it has been a very very difficult game that emphasized the ongoing moment, with a team for a long time didn’t play as it could. It was clear the lack of self confidence and all of good we showed in the regular season seemed a...

It’s hard because our opponent didn’t steal anything. They arrived more on fire than us and they are playing with that on fire coming from pre playoff. On our side we cannot say we are missing effort but we are playing as a team should win on paper and on paper… you go on holiday soon. My...

Ehehehhe anyway never like my father when he watches football
