Ok, i really hope this clears up any confusion that people might have.
Also there have been some interesting comments/corrections to our message boards so rather then have people go digging around for them i was gonna post them here.
In Response to the post Janne's Trophy Case Antti informs us:
He won the Matti Keinonen award with +- 39.
There's the source:

In response to the post Is Janne NHL Ready? André informs us:
The SM-Liiga rinks are about as small as the NHL ones. Point 1 there shouldn't be a problem.In response to the post No??? WTF and Janne Watch 2008 nu informs us:
'Pelimies' apparently means 'player' in Finnish, "which can mean 'sports player' but is usually 'the other kind of "player"..."Also I found out an interesting fact today. Janne is often seen wearing a golden helmet when playing hockey (as seen below)
Actual quote from a Finnish person:
OMG, that song cracks me up! The lyrics are so cheesy! Trust me, you're not missing much.
The gist: "I'm a tough player [in every sense of the word], gonna score tonight [in every sense of the word]".
And I do believe "tana iltana ei tuu pakejaa" is something like "not getting dumped tonight!"
Na na NA na na na na na.......
Apparently this is not just Janne being cocky, whenever you when the points title in SM-Liiga, this is the award and you get to wear it all year... Nice way to put a big target on the best players head.
Update from Kevin:
Kultainen kypärä ("the Golden Helmet") is an ice hockey award given to the best player in the Finnish SM-liiga. It is the most appreciated of the awards, as it is voted for by the players. It has been awarded since 1987.
Also remember about janne watch 2008, so keep your eyes open and don't forget to vote YES to proposition 20 (Is Janne Jesus)

Dude, just looked into the golden helmet subject. Kultainen kypärä ("the Golden Helmet") is an ice hockey award given to the best player in the Finnish SM-liiga. It is the most appreciated of the awards, as it is voted for by the players. It has been awarded since 1987.
