No problem.
Lahti’s team HPK lost 4-0 tonight and their season is over as they lost all 3 semifinal games to Jokerit. Lahti was quite invisible today, had only couple of good checks and created few scoring chances. Most of the time I couldn’t notice him.
Lepistö had a good game and he scored Jokerit’s second goal on PP. He was very active with the puck and played with good confidence. It looks like he’s getting better as the season goes on.

Great stuff, Tomppav.
Thanks for the video links… and more importantly… the translation and navigation aid!

“Iltalehden mukaan Janne Lahti olisi Washington Capitalsin miehiä ensi kaudella eli ei sitten tulisi meille. “
“According to Iltalehti (it’s a finnish tabloid) Janne Lahti will be Washington Capitals’ player so he won’t play for us (I think he’s talking about Jokerit which is the team he was rumoured to move if he stays in Finland).”
Even thought I don’t usually think highly Mr. Scarface’s posts I think his summary of Lahti’s strenghts is quite near of mine.
If you want to create your own opinion about Lahti’s scoring ability, check out this site:

Hopefully our Caps Blogging Friend in Finland can shed some light on this for us.
