Comments on: Turris was bored and hungry in Finland (and the travel wasn’t so great either)

Whale and horse meat. 1950′s planes, trains and automobiles. Think they miss Ruth criss and the ritz Carlson? They have no option compared to the NHL.

Turris Schmurris …

the truth is that Finland would indeed be a pretty “unappealing” place to play this time of year. The extreme cold temperatures and minimal daylight hours (0900-1500) are one thing. However the Finnish people themselves are a curious lot, not exactly known to be overly engaging or humorous. It’s like that in fact throughout most of Scandinavia, though it’s especially so in Finland.

matt8204 beat me to it – I guess Turris discovered that different farms treat the cattle in different ways. Then again, Turris played NCAA, not major junior, so riding the bus for 10 hours and eating at Mickey D’s like the junior players do routinely was somewhat foreign to him.

The NHL brand is taking a beating, and players like Turris are wasting the prime of their earning years. The fact that they can’t seem to come to an agreement, and have taken to suing each other, is just comical…

It will be great to watch this union go down in flames when it hits the courts. Then they will no longer be high end cattle. Just moderate grade AA beef.

For cattle, you get treated pretty well in the NHL. Come to a freakin’ agreement already!
