Larry Kwong

[Anonymous]

The women's and juniors can really sneak up on ya sometimes.

Oh tell me about it. It's damned good hockey too.

[Anonymous]

Cool. And let him know(if he doesn't already) that the Women's World Hockey Championship starts tomorrow night on TSN!

My husband was really surprised when he read about Larry Kwong..



He thought it was a great story, but he feels it's a shame his story is not widely known.

[Odinson]

Don't feel embarrassed! I'm supposed to be a big hockey fan and I only found out about him a few days ago.



And his career was a long time ago. It's so nice to see his accomplishments being recognized.

I am going to print the op and show it to my husband..



He's also a big hockey fan, so I am curious if he has even heard of Larry Kwong..

A canadian hockey-fan!? That´s unheard of!!!  :D

There are several Finnish goalies in the NHL. Kiprosoff and Pekka Renne come to mind.

Teemu Selänne is a winger and an alternate captain in the anaheim ducks.

He is known for his speed "finnish flash".



I think he broke Wayne Gretzkys scores.



Jari Kurri played in the oilers with Wayne Gretzky.

We have some great sportsmen.

Teemu Selanne holds the record for most points as a rookie but Gretzky holds just about every other offensive record.



Do they show NHL games on tv in Finland?

What is the big local league? Is it the Swedish elite league?

It´s the "it´s over and fuck off" league.

It´s the "it´s over and fuck off" league.

What is the most popular league? Swedish, local, KHL from Russia or NHL?

Helsinki Jokers and Oulu Kärpät (stoats). First division of course.



We bet on our own regions teams. In NHL we bet the best ones and the ones whom have potential so that we can get more money.
