Mikael Granlund explains why a man’s game always goes on the national team.
- Mikael Granlund signed a three -year contract with Anaheim Ducks.
- Ducks’ new head coach is Joel Quenneville, who won three Stanley Cups.
- Granlund is ready for his lion shirt at the February Olympics.
The last two of Mikael Granlund have been excellent. Last season, the Oulu Kärppie breeder produced a total of 66 power points in the NHL regular season. The man played in the past season in San Jose and after the player trade in early February at the Dallas Stars.
In the previous season, 60 power surfaces were created in San Jose, meaning that the man has forged a total of 126 points for two seasons.
“I feel that the last two times have been the best of my career and I feel that the best years are still ahead,” says Granlund.
To South California
Granlund played an excellent season in half of Dallas, and many expected a man’s career to continue in Texas.
However, on July 1, the striker signed a three -year and $ 21 million deal with Anaheim Ducks.
– Originally there were other thoughts. I wished I could continue in Dallas, but it didn’t work. There was no space in the pay ceiling. It is part of this profession, it does not always fit into a team.
– Of course I am happy with the details of the new agreement. I got the contract I wanted. Now, then the game, everything ended just fine, the veteran player Ynn.
Quenneville is coaching

Ducks’ new head coach is Joel Quenneville, 66. The man has not coached in the NHL since the fall of 2021, when he left his role as the head coach of the Florida Panthers.
The Konkari coach left his place when he found out that he had participated in the sexual offense as a coach of Chicago Blackhawks in 2010.
Quenneville served as head coach of the Blackhawks from 2008 to 2018, and during that time the club won three times in the Stanley Cup (2010, 2013 and 2015).
– Once I have only talked to him, not more. He’s a big reason I went to Anaheim. She is a coach who has seen what you win, you don’t have to learn it.
– There’s definitely a pretty clear view of what the game should look like. Now is an experienced coach who wants to win, Granlund thinks.
Ducks has been excluded from the playoffs seven times in a row, so the team’s goal for next season is quite clear.
The strengths of Finland

As he remains healthy, Granlund is a member of the Finnish team at the February Olympic Tournament in Italy.
The Lions do not go to the Olympic hockey as a pre -favorite, but the team must find stronger countries such as the United States and Canada.
– We have really good players, it always gives us the opportunity to win. There is probably a bit of a clishee, but commitment to a common goal is Finland’s strength. When we are given instructions on how to play, then the instructions are followed, it is done, Granlund says.
– A Finnish player is easy to train. We are ready to do things in the game that other countries may refuse to do in order to win a single game.
A chance in gold
Granlund has won two world championships, and the Kärpieni breed has played seven times in the World Cup.
The striker was also attended by the Russian Olympic Games in 2014.
– I’ve been lucky to have once experienced the Olympics. It is one of the highlights of my career, a great event for a sports romance. We have opportunities for gold there in February.

Granlund’s game has always been on the national team. The latest example of this was seen in last February 4, when a man overtook Sweden with his fine overtime goal.
– I don’t know why the game goes on the national team, but I’ve always been really nice there. I guess I can be a smart player and quickly adapt to situations, with a little head and a bit. However, there are players who haven’t even seen during the season. The national team has always been a big deal for me, 33-year-old Granlund Ynn.
