Ville Leino (the other finnish sensation brought to the NHL this year) finally got his first start in the NHL. Not only did Mikey B give him 12+ min of play time, but he was placed as a winger on the Pavel Datsyuk and Marian Hossa line. Anyways, not only did Ville get a start...but he picked up his first goal...and it was sick.....
For those of you that don't know, Ville Leino was the break out star from last years 2nd place team in the SM-Liiga, Jokerit. He finished the season with 28 goals and 49 assists (77 pts), while Janne finished with 34 goals and 44 assists (78 points). Ville is one year younger than Janne.
Honestly, this is not a suprise. It is no secret that the Red Wings know how to get the most out of their European tallent, and that Mikey T has developed nobody since he has been here (and no, he didn't develop crosby or malkin, a raw egg coulda developed them into good hockey players). Maybe we can all hope that Ville does well and maybe gets the Penguins organization wondering if Janne has the same tallent...
Go Pens...Go Janne...FUMT
