dlbalr Posted January 6, 2014 Author Share Posted January 6, 2014 I've likely been wrong on Lehkonen. Never impressed me originally. Now I think he could be one of our best prospects if this WJ is an example of the real Lehkonen and not him hyped. From following his stats in the Finnish league, we know the offensive potential is there. I didn't think of him as much of a two-way player either but he has piqued my interest in that area.

DON Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 I had to pull for the underdog country, with smaller population than Quebec. Good game. Collberg, de la Rose played pretty much as expected, but Lehkonen's defensive smarts and strength on skates was bit surprising and great to see, Saku II? Lehkonen almost had gold-winning goal a few moments before the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted January 6, 2014 Author Share Posted January 6, 2014 It sounds like Lehkonen has torn ligaments in both feet, he received painkillers throughout the game yesterday. He acknowledged that he may "have to take a long break from playing." https://twitter.com/OnsideWithJouni/status/420200588865830914 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 de la Rose was awarded some Swedish junior player of year, or something like that eh? Hope Lekonen not hurt too badly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machine of Loving Grace Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 To play like that with torn ligaments is amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted January 9, 2014 Author Share Posted January 9, 2014 Lehkonen will miss 2-3 weeks with the injuries. That's a bit better than taking 'a long break from playing.' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
