[Bratten] Juuse Saros on Pekka Rinne being in the building: “And obviously Pekka is here tonight, so as always, you want to show up for him too. Feel like he’s a lucky charm, so he’s got to come more often.”

That’s it. I’m going back to Finland and not returning to the US until I’ve married a Finnish goaltender.
The graphic the team made just makes the quote better.
I love this quote and I love that Juuse scrapped a bit in front of him too 🤣
my username checks out!
anyone have the gif of Juice celebrating after winning the shootout at Pekka’s jersey ceremony handy?
I miss when Saros was the backup for Papa Pekks and we got to call him Pocket Pekka. Never felt like Saros has had as reliable of a backup as Pekka had when Juuse was his. We had the best goaltender tandem in the league and I’ll die on that hill.
Edit: POCKET Pekka, not PICKET Pekka. With so much AI buzzing around these days, how is autocorrect so much worse than it used to be?

Love the statue but the real thing is better.
