Janne is off and running

It seems like it won't take to long for the fans of AK Bars Kazan to learn the name of what will soon to be the next KHL superstar. A friend from Finland has sent us some pictures of Janne first "training game". Janne had 1/goal 1/assist.

Lets Salute Janne with a NA NANA NANA NA

Please Stop

I don't get it, the latter part of the NHL this decade is going to be known as the retro reunion? First it was Claude Lemieux's feeble attempt at returning to the NHL at the ripe old age 44. Now we are hearing that a sober Theo Fleury (age 41)might be attempting a comeback. I guess he had been playing in some senior league and has been sober for what we are told for 4 years. Please Theo is being sober for 4 years has finally cleared your head and has you thinking straight do all of us a favor go to your local state store, purchase the biggest bottle of your favorite booze and start chugging. We liked you better when you mind was a little bit distorted.

Bettman are you listening, NHL owners pay attention too, don't let this happen, save your cash for the ever pressing salary cap. Just a thought, nah never mind let us just wait to see who might be next.

See what Styx started......I must admit tho I did go see them on their retro, Lemieux and Fleury should be so good.

Get ready Russia...

Janne's Next Goal?

Thanks to fellow Janniac Martin for informing us that janne has signed a 1 year contract with AK Bars Kazan of the KHL... We here at PATP and the Pesonation wish Janne the best of luck in his future endeavors and hope that his dream of playing in the NHL has not be deterred by his first experience... Though we would have liked to see Janne playing in the NHL, this does make it a little easier to cheer for him... GO AK BARS KAZAN...

UPDATE: Apparantly AK BARS KAZAN is the defending KHL champion and is one of the better hockey teams in Europe. Also captaining Janne's team will be former Pittsburgh Penguin Alexei Morozov...
