I do not know
where the energy came from -
but I had a great night.
After the game, I wasn't even tired.
I even had
a hat trick.
How ya doin'?
- Good!
Paul Kariya and I became
good friends.
I had met him
at the all-star game -
He joked that
I should play in Anaheim.
Everything Teemu did,
shooting, passing -
he did it at top speed.
I also liked to do
everything at top speed.
If I had good chemistry with a player before -
maybe he was intelligent and a good passer,
but he couldn't do it at top speed -
or maybe he was just a good goal scorer.
Teemu did everything at top speed
and at the highest level.
We just knew where
each other was on the ice.
Paul needed somebody like Teemu
to bring him out of his shell.
He was very quiet.
positive and... noisy.
I got half of my pay for my playing
and the rest because I
taught Paul to be a human.
When we got to a hotel -
he ran to the hotel
I learned from Paul his
dedication to hockey -
and to everything he did.
I have never seen anything like it.
Who's gonna pay the whole bill?
I took all the cards and I
held Paul's card like this.
I squeezed it so hard
he couldn't get it.
And Paul wondered: "how I always
lose the big ones?"
You never told me that.
2012-2013 SEASON
I have often laughed
that the NHL is like a kindergarten.
These adult males
can't say no to anything.
Pretty demanding of your schedule and your energy
to go out there every game and trying to perform your best.
You can't find the same things
anywhere else as from your team -
and life in the NHL.
Sometimes it's a roller-coaster.
One's emotions go up and down.
It is a love-hate relationship.
It's easy to live
according to certain procedures.
You don't have to think
on something else.
Off the ice
he offers leadership.
He's a leader by nature.
Then he brings an upbeat uproach.
He is a positive guy.
Doesn't matter if you won 5 to 1
lost 8 to 1.
be a hockey player.
He brings positive energy to the team.
It's almost impossible to replace that.
Five games, seven days.
I get to play enough.
We have two kinds of days:
game day and between days.
They are quite alike.
A game day morning workout
is optional.
I often come to the arena
not knowing whether I will practice.
and then I go home,
eat and take a nap.
Sirpa has made pasta
on game days for 20 years.
Always quite the same.
It has always been...
- Good? - Yes.
He has a professional attitude -
towards training
and preparation.
There is pressure to win
and a fear of losing.
I'm aware of it
but I do not think about it much.
A typical thing for top athletes
is their tolerance for stress.
Some don't even know what stress is.
They are very laid back.
The guy is always smiling,
but he still is a warrior.
Physically and mentally.
He wants to win and score goals.
He is a dangerous player
because he is so fast -
and can scores from bad positions.
tip-ins and rebound goals.
I have always had a sidekick
and then a third link in the chain.
Right now I have none of them.
When he's on his game, I play him a lot,
'cause I know good things are gonna happen.
If you don't need ice packs
after the game -
you haven't played hard enough.
When I get up in the morning -
I take my first steps
gently -
to see where it hurts.
It's challenging to recover quickly
after a game.
I stretch
We also have
cold and hot baths.
Two minutes in both -
maybe four times,
so I get lactic acid moving.
because medicine
and especially treating injuries -
have evolved greatly.
This year, I have noticed that if we have
games two days in a row -
I don't have full energy
in the second game.
I guess my age is starting to show.
We were away for 13 days -
and for some reason
A few times I thought
that this probably is my last year.
But after a few days of rest
and a good game -
you change your mind.
I realized this is pretty fun.
He won't probably stop playing
hockey until a doctor forbids him.
When we played 26 games in 44 days -
there were nights when I wasn't recovered.
I am grateful that my old
body did not give up.
I like to listen to Finnish music.
I do not know if I'm homesick -
but especially abroad
and on game trips -
music has a special significance.
When I'm driving home late at night
-
listening to Arttu Wiskari
makes me feel good.
It was June 1986,
Dad filled up,
I was already sitting in the back seat,
I smiled broadly with the seat belt on
Dingo sang about the girl in the leather jacket
My father had suffered a stroke.
Fortunately, a fairly mild.
He lost feeling in his hand
and his posture was crooked.
His eyelids drooped.
Such news make you stop and think
to stay up -
especially when you live
far from Finland -
and your loved ones.
We fly often in
really bad weather -
because we have a
game the next day.
It's idiotic.
It scares me the most.
What happened last year -
has always been my biggest nightmare.
When the plane crashed in Yaroslavl -
I felt that this is not
worth playing anymore.
I lost many old teammates.
Ruslan Salej
was a really good friend of mine.
I played with Igor
Korolev in Winnipeg.
And Karpovtsev...
They were unbelievable guys.
I sharpened Teemu's skates
until he turned 12.
Most players don't know a thing about
skate sharpening and curvatures.
We were lucky enough
to get to try different versions -
and find the best one.
We tried many different options.
Many said that I sharpened them wrong.
They said that the grooves were too deep.
That human ankles can't handle it.
I was the doorman at the pub
Kosmos for 30 years.
Near the end of the second period -
I got a phone call from Ismo
Syvhuoko, the Jokerit doctor.
He said Teemu's skates need
to be sharpened.
I called a taxi
and went to the arena.
I went to the grinding room
in my suit.
I sharpened his skates, -
jumped into a taxi
and went back to work.
We followed what he had done in Finland
and just tried to emulate that.
which was between the glove
and the elbow pad -
to protect his arms.
The ice is better in Finland -
and I used to play
with this narrower blade.
The ice in the NHL is really bad.
It turns to slush
after five minutes of play.
It was annoying
to get a good pass -
that bounced over the blade.
This makes the stick a little heavier.
It bothers many players,
but I don't mind.
I can say with my hand on my heart -
that I haven't heard about
