Duvie. It's not hard to understand, why you're playing 20+ minutes per NHL game. Awesome skating, toughness and scoring abilities - everything I'd hope. Especially your will to overcome the problems you had settling to Finland is respectable. No baby cries not having luxury around you. Even in Finland players are training pretty hard, you managed to settle in. Somebody said it well, giving up isn't a solution, it's a weakness. After scoring an unbelievable SH goal against Kärpät, I posed a question: Du vie deserve a player like this...
Jody. Guy, who lifted an unknown JYP to a respectable hockey team. It's great you wanted to be more than an enforcer, like you said. But anyway we're delighted you kicked up some opponent asses. Feel sorry Finnish judgement is so sissy. But you gave us a sight how much one guy can mean to the club. Every guy grew many inches after you came, you gave them balls they'd lost. And in opposite: opponents needed diapers, when someone even whispered "Jody" - it was wonderful to have a guy like you playing for us.
Steve. Guy who skates like a madman. Proved us, that size doesn't always matter - even we're talking about a size of stick...SH specialist, the best in Finland in that role. Attitude, maximum. Never giving up. Not a guy mentioned after even a good game, doing tough job. Spring showed why you've played for a long time in NHL. Next season in Finland, and you'd be even better player. Hopefully we see you playing with JYP from now on...
