Yeah, he was really dominant. The best player in the series after he came back.Originally Posted by ccsitdown

Yeah, keep the info coming! I find that google translation of the FM-Liiga pages a bit rough, so I'm glad to read about Granlund here.

First semifinals game between HIFK and Lukko went to 3rd overtime. After 101 minutes Lukko scored. It was not a good game - players were tired as they had 7 game series behind them and only one day rest. The Finnish SM-league really has messed up the scheduling.
I only got chance to see first two periods, in 2nd Granlund had a nice assist coming from corner to net. Even though he is small player, he is actually very good holding the puck in crowded areas. He played over 31 minutes in the game.

After losing the first game in OT as mentioned above, Granlund's HIFK are in the process of winning four straight against Lukko (not quite finished, but up 5-0 in the second). Granlund has 2 goals and 2 assists in the 2nd period. Looks like it's off to the finals.

Make that 5 points for Granlund in the 2nd period as HIFK walk to a 7-1 win and a berth in the finals. Kid is on fire.

Soooooooooo glad I nabbed this kid last year in the Comish's Dynasty League.
5 points at his age is remarkable. From the video I have watched, Granlund seems to be always in the right place at the right time. "Johnny-On-The-Spot" if you will.
5+8=13 in 11 games.5 points in the 2nd period
How many points since the beginning of the playoffs?
A couple more points for Granlund in yesterday's win. His HIFK is now up 3-0 over Espoo in the finals. Granlund leads the league in playoff points with 15 in 14 games. Game 4 goes tomorrow.

So HIFK Helsinki won the Title of Finland eliminating ESPOO in 4 games. Granlund finished with 16 points in 15 games tie for the scoring lead in the playoffs.
Can't wait to see this guy in the NHL maybe a glimpse next year but for sure in 2012-13.
