Nihlstorp was signed from Rögle, they will probably go with him. Too bad they lost Jonas Gustafsson.

Today's exhibition matchup Jyp - Ak Bars Kazan will be exciting. Jarkko Immonen makes comeback (in wrong jersey) to Jyväskylä. Ak Bars is toughest team ever played exhibition games in Finland, especially in Jyväskylä.

Ak Bars Kazan A-juniors played/will play against Jyp A-juniors. I don't know when the game will be or was it in last week. Anyway, my former schoolmate plays in Jyp A-juniors.

Did Ak Bars have the best line-up they could have had? If so JYP is serious contender to win the SM-Liiga this year. :-k

Yes, only Alexei Morozov didn't play cause of back pain, but Danis Zarapov, Sergei Zinoviev, Marcel Hossa, Janne Pesonen, Jarkko Immonen, Niko Kapanen and Petri Vehanen played.

Pesonen -
Hossa -

Jyp:
Jonne Virtanen +
Ossi Louhivaara -
Pihlström -
Jani Tuppurainen +

No, i just heard this from friend of mine. I don't remember did he said Magnitogorsk or Kazan A-juniors. Only thing i know is that Magnitogorsk A-juniors has played against Jokerit A-juniors about week or two ago. So maybe that game is/was against Magnitogorsk A-juniors.

If I remember correctly Chicago Blackhawks played exhibition games in Finland, and them with that Stanley Cup winning group they had last season would mean they have been the strongest team to play against a finnish team. Sorry for nitpicking though :dunno:

It wasn't exactly exhibition game, it was more show, if you know what i mean. They played during Sm-league season, so it's not exhibition game for Finnish team. ;)

Kazan played at good level and their season starts next week. Sm-league starts at 16th September.

Oh, and Jyp's starting goalie was Joni Myllykoski: Jyp's backup goalie, who played last season in Denmark. ;)

Can anyone explain what it will take to get Hammarby IF/Bajen Fans from D3 up to D2? Is there a one year waiting period before they can be promoted? I can't wait for the day when Hammarby and AIK are back in Allsvenskan together where they belong. Just a step below Djurgarden

Good question. They totally destroyed D3's Stockholm Södra group last season with a perfect season and yet it looks like they didn't even take part in the Stockholm area's Kvalserien til D1. Truly incomprehensible. Are there financial requirements to be met even at those lowly levels that Bajen Fans did not meet??? They've revived their junior club and seem to have the capacity to attract players one good step above D3 level, so they shouldn't have problems with that...

Blues' Jani Lajunen (on loan from Nashville) scored umbelievable goal on yesterday against Kärpät. It was also game-winning-goal in the overtime.

Lajunen's goal at 2.12 (first few ads, then goals of the game)

Hisey's goal was just one goal when Ässät crashed Blues.
Lajunen's goal was game-winning-goal at overtime. :thup:

Anyway, both goals are nice to watch.
