Sami Kapanen He played in the Stanley Cup finals in the spring of 2002 in the Carolina shirt. At that time the detroit was better. Now Kapanen gets excited about the finals in his father’s role.
– There can be no much better feelings here. Edmonton’s game has gone really well, and this is a great thing for Kasper and for myself, Kapanen rejoiced on Wednesday before the finals.
– It’s not excited yet, but it will certainly come from there when the game starts.
This spring, Sami Kapanen experienced a league qualifying series as the head coach of Lahti Pelicans, where the team faced the Jokers. Kapanen describes the excitement of the brutal falling battle and his son’s NHL finals as a very different situation.

Kasperi Kapanen celebrates its 29th anniversary in July. Sami Kapanen played the NHL finals at almost the same age.
For a father, being in this situation seems terrible.
-I was 28 myself when I played in the finals. Kasperi does the same now. He has already accumulated over 500 matches in the NHL, so it’s a really experienced player.
Kapanen intends to watch the games, and there are also plans to travel to the spot during the final series.
– I control at least the first two games, but I have to look at how they follow. However, the everyday life is still quite normal, so you can see how you can. I go to the gaming game, where the mood and the drug suck.
No advice

The advice has not been given too much from father to son to the son. Sami Kapanen says that hockey is not the most common topic between them, but is usually discussed about something else.
– I know that Kassu doesn’t want to talk too much about the reel. Of course, when he talks about the matter, of course, he is discussing hockey, but I do not pour it for him.
– During the season, when Kasper didn’t get the minutes, I advised him to keep himself ready all the time. There will always be injuries and composition changes, and you have to be ready to take your place right away.
Long series
In the finals, every player in the line -up is important. Sami Kapanen believes that her son has one feature in particular that is useful in the finals series.
– He is able to emerge at a big moment. It has been seen earlier this season and throughout his career. He may not raise his level so much, but in the big moments he endures the pressure really well.
Kapanen estimates that the finals will be long.
– I see that Florida’s big roster is such a big strength for them, but I think Edmonton has a tough tip. It will be flat.
Kapanen himself missed winning the Stanley Cup in his career, so he believes that if Edmonton succeeds in winning the trophy, he will be acknowledged in the direction of his father.
– Yes, acknowledgment will surely come. Then everything in life is fine if I hear about it. That’s where it is fully deserved.
