Last December, the Tampa forward turned 26 years old. This season was his first full season in the NHL, and he still qualifies as a rookie. Over the course of several years in the lower leagues, Gourde gained strength, learned to effectively counteract older hockey players with his small size, and rose to become the Lightning’s main roster. In the current championship, he is playing so well that the club’s management did not regret sending him to the Rangers as the most important part of the compensation for the defender and striker. Gourde can play both in the center and on the wing, fitting perfectly into the concept of the head coach, who values ​​quick decision-making in any situation. A beginner has no problems with this, as well as with his hands. In the game against Florida, he scored three points, including two goals. Thus, the forward repeated the club record for goals for newcomers. He now has 24 goals. There is plenty of time ahead to establish a new achievement. Perhaps he will even beat the striker in the fight for the title of best newcomer.

The World Hockey Championship will begin in Denmark next week, and the state of the Finnish team leaves much to be desired.

Many Finnish NHL players decided not to participate in the World Championship, which caused concern among hockey fans. Many famous KHL players also decided to skip the tournament.

Recently, the Finnish national team has welcomed such NHL stars as Sebastian Aho, Teuvo Teräväinen and Mikael Granlund. However, at the World Championships, significantly fewer NHL players will play for the Finnish national team than, for example, for the national teams of Sweden, Canada and Russia.

True, the countries mentioned have more players in the NHL. In the last regular NHL championship, 34 Russian, 404 Canadian, 88 Swedish and 33 Finnish hockey players took part.

Is hockey a tool of Russian propaganda?

How to persuade a Cold War hockey hero

The Guardian 10/11/2015

Finnish corruption hockey league

Yle 10.21.2014 Many Finnish hockey players received injuries this spring, but among those who refused to participate there are also physically healthy athletes. Hockey fans believed that the players’ fatigue after the long NHL season and dissatisfaction were behind the reluctance to take part in the World Championship. coaching staff and the fact that the World Championship usually does not attract much hockey players in the year of the Winter Olympics.

The legend of the Soviet national team and the NHL, Vyacheslav Fetisov, considers the reasons listed above to be insufficient for his reluctance to play at the World Championship.

One of best players of all times wonders why the Finnish hockey team has a hard time recruiting famous NHL players.

“Perhaps Finnish hockey players are no longer as patriotic as the Finnish people would like. In Russia the situation is the opposite,” says Fetisov.

"All Russian hockey players want to play in the national team if they don’t have serious injuries or personal reasons. And in Finland it used to be like this too,” Fetisov said in an interview with Ilta-Sanomat in Moscow.

Fetisov, who led the Red Machine to seven World Championship victories and two Olympic gold medals, believes that the World Championship is a matter of honor, even if it was preceded by a tense playing period.

He does not understand hockey players who refuse to participate in competitions, for example, due to disagreements with the coach.

“I know that hockey players don’t always like coaches, but this is all a secondary matter. It is a great honor for us to be given the right to wear a uniform with the name of our home country.”

InoSMI materials contain assessments exclusively foreign media and do not reflect the position of the editorial board of InoSMI.

It was absolutely impossible to choose just five of the top Canadian players of our time, but ten positions are clearly not enough to rank the best Canadians. The captain of Pittsburgh and the national team, Sidney Crosby, clearly stands out among his compatriots. By the age of 30, Little Sid had amassed an impressive collection of team and individual prizes: Crosby has two Olympic golds, three Stanley Cups, as well as two each of Art Ross, Hart Trophy, Maurice Richard and Conn Smythe. Another Canadian prodigy, Connor McDavid, is rushing towards these heights at full speed, becoming the most valuable and productive hockey player in his first full season in .

Among other Canadians, we note the living legends of their clubs: the reliable support of Montreal Carey Price, the captain of Anaheim Ryan Getzlaf, one of the symbols of Chicago Jonathan Toews, the main assistant in the history of San Jose Joe Thornton. The league's best shooting defensemen also come from Canada: Thornton's teammate Brent Burns, Blues man Alex Pietrangelo, and members of one of the biggest trades in P.K. Subban and Shea Weber not only score tons of points for performance, but are the defining players for their teams. .

The most productive and goal-scoring forwards, the most reliable defenders, impenetrable goalkeepers and simply an unreal number of talented players of different ages– this is the composition of the hockey wealth of the country of the maple leaf.”

The names mentioned above are just the tip of the iceberg; the list of cool Canadian players can go on for a long time. And looking at such a variety of talents, once again it becomes incredibly unfortunate that the league will not let any of them go to the next Olympics.

Legionnaires in the KHL: 46 Canadians, 40 Finns, 24 Swedes and an Israeli

USA – 193 players

Top 5: Johnny Gaudreau (Calgary), Patrick Kane (Chicago), Auston Matthews (Toronto), Kevin Shattenkirk (Rangers), Ben Bishop (Dallas)

The United States is in second place in terms of representation of its players. There are also many brilliant masters among the Americans, leaders of their clubs. The one that stands out is Patrick Kane, who was selected by Chicago with the first pick of the draft 10 years ago and has been playing for the Black Hawks ever since. Kane is the most decorated active American hockey player, with three Stanley Cups, an Olympic silver, and several individual prizes to his name.

In the last article we told you about the ten best Swedes in the history of the National Hockey League, and in this article we will tell you about the ten best players who came to the NHL from Finland.

Finland has been consistently supplying more and more new performers to the NHL for the past 35 years. The first Finn in the NHL is considered to be Matti "Hakki" Hagman, who is the father of Calgary Flames forward Nicklas Hagman.

But before Matti Hagman there was another Finn, the “under-Finn” Juha Viding. Viding was born in Finland, but grew up in Sweden, and at the age of 16 he and his family moved to Canada, learned to play in the junior leagues of Manitoba and made his NHL debut in 1969.

Due to the fact that he grew up and learned to play in Canada, his citizenship is Canadian, which is why Matti Hagman is considered to be the first Finn. Matthie was selected 104th overall by Boston in the 1975 draft. In the NHL he played 237 matches, in which he scored 145 points.

Well, let's move directly to our rating.

10. Jurke Lumme

Role: defender

Teams: Montreal Canadiens (1988 - 1989), Vancouver Canucks (1990 - 1998), Phoenix Coyotes (1998 - 2001), Toronto Maple Leafs (2001 - 2003)

Lumme is part of the so-called " dark horses"Excellent skating, in addition to a very accurate and strong wrist shot, made Lumme one of the best attacking defensemen in the league. But at that time in the NHL, Ray Bourque and Brian Leach ruled the roost, and compared to them, Lumme did not look like a superstar, although he was 4 times awarded the Babe Pratt Trophy, the team award for the best defenseman in Vancouver. In total, he played 985 games in the NHL, in which he scored 468 points.

9. Jere Lehtinen

Role: forward

Team: Dallas Stars (1995 - 2010)

Three-time title holder Best Forward defensive plan" (Frank Selkie Trophy 1998, 1999, 2003), was selected in the 1992 draft by the Minnesota North Stars with his 88th homer. But before getting into the NHL, Jere spent 3 years tempering himself in the Finnish league, in the TPS team where he played two more future NHL players - Saku Koivu and Kimmo Timonen.

Yere was selected to the NHL All-Star Game twice during his career in 1998 and 2002, but was unable to participate in either game due to injuries. Yéré has 875 NHL games, 243 goals and 514 points, as well as the 1999 Stanley Cup.

8. Olli Jokinen

Role: forward

Teams: Los Angeles Kings(1997 - 1999), New York Islanders (1999 - 2000), Florida Panthers (2000 - 2008), Phoenix Coyotes (2008 - 2009), Calgary Flames (2008 -2010), NY Rangers (2010), Calgary Flames (2010–present)

The symbol of Florida in the 2000s, was selected by Los Angeles with the third pick in the 1997 draft (the first was Joe Thornton, and the second was Patrick Marleau). Unfortunately, Olli’s first season did not work out; he did not score any points in eight matches and decided to finish the season in his native Finland. After that, there were a couple of indistinct seasons with the same “EL”, and one season with the Islanders.

In 2000, he was traded to Florida, where he became the symbol of the team, as well as its captain. Before the lockout, Jokinen had a season high of 65 points. And it seemed that this was his upper limit, but after the lockout he surprised everyone by averaging 85 points per season. During his NHL career, Jokinen scored 568 points in 881 games and continues to rack up points now with the Calgary Flames.

7. Kimmo Timonen

Role: defender

Teams: Nashville Predators (1998 - 2007), Philadelphia Flyers (2007 - present)

One of the best defensemen of our time, the highest paid Finnish player in the NHL, a two-time All-Star and was unable to play two more times due to injury. Timonen was selected 250th overall in the 1993 draft by Los Angeles. But in the end, Timonen never played a single match for the Kings. In the 1998 expansion draft, Kimmo was traded to Nashville.

After spending eight seasons in Nashville, Timonen set the record for most assists in team history with 222. Unfortunately, due to the lack of prospects of winning the Stanley Cup with Nashville, Kimmo did not sign a contract with the Predators, after which he was traded to Philadelphia.

Timonen signed a 6-year contract with the Flyers with a salary of $37.5M, and has the status of the most highly paid player as part of Philly. In total, he took part in 812 games during his career and scored 427 points. In the 2009–2010 season, Timonen helped the Flyers reach the Stanley Cup finals, where the Flyers lost the series to Chicago. Perhaps in the next five years Timonen will win the coveted “cup” and become a couple more steps higher in our ranking.

6. Esa Tikkanen

Role: forward

Teams: Edmonton Oilers (1985-1993), New York Rangers (1993-1994, 1997, 1998-1999), St. Louis Blues (1994-1995), New Jersey Devils (1995), Vancouver Canucks (1995-1997) , Florida Panthers (1997-1998), Washington Capitals (1998)

“He is daring, fast and, they say, plays well,” - this is how Glen Sutter justified himself when he put twenty-year-old Finn Tikkanen, a youth hockey star, on a line with Gretzky and Kurri for the second match of the final series against Philadelphia. And although Tikkanen did not score a single point in this final, he still won the Stanley Cup with Edmonton.

After that, he won three more Cups with the Oilers (1985, 1987, 1988, 1990), as well as another with the New York Rangers. He is an agitator "from God." With his “Finglish” (a mixture of English and Finnish), he could reach anyone. In total, during his career, Tika played in 877 matches, scored 244 goals, scored 630 points, and also served 1077 penalty minutes.

5. Saku Koivu

Role: forward

Teams: Montreal Canadiens (1995 - 2009), Anaheim Ducks (2009 - present)

The first European captain in the history of Montreal, and also, together with Jean Beliveau, shares first place in the duration of captaincy in the history of Montreal (10 years), winner of the Bill Masterton Trophy 2007 - this is all Saku Koivu. Saku was selected 23rd overall by Montreal in the 1993 draft, but like most Finnish hockey players, he gained experience in Europe before playing full-time in the NHL.

And he entered the NHL in 1995, scoring 45 points in 82 games in the first year, and every year he added more and more, and who knows what Koivu could have achieved if not for constant injuries.

In 13 years with Montreal, Koivu only played more than 70 games in a season five times. In 2009, Koivu moved to Anaheim, where he was reunited with his good friend Teemu Selanne. Over 14 seasons in the NHL, Saku Koivu played 863 games and scored 693 points.

4. Teppo Numminen

Role: defender

Teams: Winnipeg Jets/Phoenix Coyotes (1988 - 2003), Dallas Stars (2003 - 2004), Buffalo Sabers (2005 - 2009)

Teppo Numminen spent the last four years of his career with Buffalo, where, unfortunately, he missed a whole year and a half due to heart surgery. But let's not talk about the bad, because Numminen can be proudly called the best Finnish defenseman in NHL history. Numminen was drafted 29th overall in 1986 by Winnipeg and spent 15 years with the Winnipeg/Coyotes.

Teppo's 534 points are the most points for a defenseman in Winnipeg and Coyotes franchise history. In total, Numminen played in 1,372 games in his career, the most he has ever played by a European defender. During his career, Teppo scored 117 goals and 637 points. In gratitude to Nymminen, Phoenix retired No. 27, whom Nymminen had played with in Phoenix and Winnipeg.

3. Mikka Kiprusoff

Role: goalkeeper

Teams: San Jose Sharks (2000 - 2003), Calgary Flames (2003 - present)

He's still playing, but he's already a legend of Finnish hockey. 116th pick of the 1995 draft, began his career in the Finnish club TPS, along with three other members of our top ten. A two-time participant in the AHL All-Star Game, he got his chance in the NHL in 2000, when he replaced Evgeni Nabokov in the Anachoima match, which the Sharks won with a score of 7:4.

In November 2003, Kiprusoff was traded to Calgary, where in his first season he set an NHL record with an average of 1.69 goals per game, thereby helping Calgary reach the Stanley Cup finals. In 2006, he scored a goaltending double, winning the Vezina Trophy and the William M. Jennings Trophy.

2. Teemu Selanne

Role: forward

Teams: Winnipeg Jets (1992 - 1996), Anaheim Mighty Ducks (1995 - 2001), San Jose Sharks (2001 - 2004), Colorado Avalanche (2003 - 2004), Anaheim Ducks (2005 - present)

Flash on the left! Flash on the right! This... This... This is Teemu Selanne. Best Newcomer NHL. 76 goals in the first season, as well as 132 points, all in the same first season, are league records for rookies. True, Teemu himself was unable to repeat the results that he showed in his first season.

But this did not stop him from setting many records in the NHL and in individual teams, for example: the record holder for goals and points per season in the history of Winnipeg, the best in points, goals, assists, the number of hattricks in the history of Anaheim, and that’s not all.

Winner of the Stanley Cup 2007, Rocket Richard Trophy 1993, 1998, 1999 (though until 1999 this award was unnamed), Calder Trophy 1993, Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy 2006 - this is Selanne.

1. Jari Kurri

Role: forward

Teams: Edmonton Oilers (1980 - 1990), Los Angeles (1991 - 1996), New York Rangers (1995 - 1996), Anaheim Mighty Ducks (1996 - 1997), Colorado Avalanche (1997 - 1998)

The best Finn in the history of the NHL is definitely Jari Kurri. And although Kurri has only one individual award, the 1985 Lady Byng Trophy, Kurri has won five Stanley Cups, all five with the Edmonton Oilers (1984, 1985, 1987, 1988 and 1990). And the Gretzky-Kurri combination is still considered the best in the history of the NHL.

In total, Kurri played 1,251 matches during his career, scored 601 goals and scored 1,398 points.
