Lions with the head coach Jukka Jalosen is a great temptation to go to the Finnish World Cup with a strong team that took over the Olympic gold in Beijing.
“It’s a good body and a top team,” Jalonen said at a national team discussion event in Ruoholahti.
“I hope to get a few specific confirmations.”
Jalonen followed a chat session at his home in Riihimäki because of a recent corona infection. The symptoms were minor, if any, but Jalonen withdrew from the media.
Hockey League The NHL situation looks tense. If Dallas pushes its foot into the playoffs, the Finnish league in the league will be lean at the World Cup.
Jalonen did not identify his custom acquisitions, but Columbus Patrik Laine would certainly be one. After the wave, loosen.
If Dallas doesn’t make it to the play offs, the defenders could Esa Lindell and Miro Heiskanen sneak into the World Cup as well as the strikers Roope Hintz and Joel Kiviranta.
Montreal will certainly be left out of the playoffs, however Joel Armia would hardly be part of Jalonen’s plans. Artturi Lehkonen the place would take place, but the NHL’s transfer time, which ends on Monday, will decide Lehkonen’s rest of the season. He is subject to transfer rumors.
Jalonen said looking at NHL cards is always tricky. The first round of the playoffs ends at about the same time as the puck falls on the ice in Tampere and Helsinki.
“It’s challenging to see if anyone is expected and even available,” Jalonen said.
“There may be a reasonable supply there and there are a few players who will be interested in us, but will they end up in the tournament.”
The player’s contract situation can traditionally affect the interest in going to the World Cup. If the contract is broken, it may be wisest to avoid possible injuries.
Laine’s one-year contract with Columbus expires this season.
If Bluejackets sports director Jarmo Kekäläinen offers a new contract before the World Cup, it is very possible that one problem will get out of the way.
The lions’ head coach Jukka Jalonen participated in the national team’s press conference via video connection due to a corona infection.
Before For the Slovak World Cup 2019, Jalonen completed the team’s roster without waiting. Three weeks later, those who race in the Domestic League and elsewhere in Europe celebrated gold medals.
It was not possible to take NHL players to Beijing, but a team of the same type was meeting under Jalonen for the third time. Between Bratislava and Beijing, there was another Latvian World Championships in silver.
After the start of the offensive war launched by Russia, most of the Finnish KHL players returned home in the middle of the season.
Leaving the series means that for many players, the previous official match was the World Cup final on February 20, or even an earlier game.
Jalonen is not worried, even though some of the players were left without company and matches.
“Everyone has their own patterns in training and everyone understands that April 10th has to be a stitch. And if it comes in poor condition, it just won’t fit. ”
The camping of the lions for the Tampere Games will start on April 10th. and during that time the team will play ten preparatory matches.
Time is so long that Jalonen and sports director Jere Lehtinen believed it was enough to bring out the sharpest mood.
“Players are self-directed today,” Jalonen emphasized.
Jalonen believed that KHL time and the playing of the Finns in the Eastern League also raised the level of the national team. Some of the players clearly developed in KHL.
“The world has changed and KHL will be history in Finland,” Jalonen said and Lehtinen said:
“I believe the European series will be strengthened. Now the players in Europe are divided into different teams. ”
According to Jalonen, the jokers’ participation in KHL strengthened Finnish puck skills, but that era is also coming to an end.
“Somehow there’s a feeling that the Jokers are coming back to the League. Next season may come too quickly and there are still problems with Arena. ”
Leaflet and Jalonen have traditionally made an observation trip to North America twice a season. The trip to November took place, but the spring tour is open for the time being.
First you have to look at when the transfer period ends, said Lehtinen and pointed out which clubs the Finnish players will move to and who will stay in their current teams.
“There have been no contacts yet,” Lehtinen said.
The World Hockey Tournament will be played in Tampere and Helsinki from 13 May to 28 May. 2022. Finland will play all its matches in Tampere.
