Cup Besties talking

It's about this ⤵

And this ��

Can't recommend this enough if you know any Finnish. They were veteran dad and rookie son, winning the most coveted prize in the hockey world, one to start off his NHL career, one to finally get the crown on his before retiring.

This is just the beginning of the roughly 1,5 hour conversation of Teuvo as a guest on Kimmo Timonen's and Antti Mäkinen's podcast. Teuvo's deadpan sarcasm and his subtle chuckles that soften his wry chirps and self-mockery work like a charm, sending his forty-something hosts into fits of laughter.

May be continued but let me put this out there first.

Kimmo: Our next guest hails from Helsinki. He's full 29 years old, but still has the face of a child. He goes by the nickname Turbo, which I don't understand, because he isn't that fast. A produce of the Jokerit, he has got, among other accolades, the Finnish rookie of the year award. From Jokerit, he went to Chicago, where we won the Stanley Cup together in 2015. Nowadays he plays for the Carolina Hurricanes alongside Sebastian Aho. Welcome, my good friend, Teuvo Teukka Teräväinen, to the Kimanttia podcast!

Teuvo: Thanks a lot, (chuckle) nice to be here even though you forced me to come.

Kimmo: (laugs) For your information, listeners, I've tried to goad Teukka for a guest appearance for two or three years, but he has always, always declined before now. It's good, it's great to hear your voice, man.

Antti (co-host Antti Mäkinen): I was so sure that Teuvo has been on the show but it's great that you're there now.

Teuvo: Yes, I always say to Kime that someday I'll come, and now I felt it's time.

Kimmo: Are you in Finland, Teukka?

Teuvo: Yes, a few days ago. I came straight to the cottage, it's nice to wind down for a few days here. Nothing special.

(They go on asking if Teuvo has watched the Worlds, he reminds the hosts that Canes were still playing when the games started.)

Kimmo: I wanted to ask, before we start going through your career, how long are you staying in Finland, and will you spend time at the cottage or do you have plans?

Teuvo: I usually head back to the States in the beginning of September, to settle down a little before the camp starts. In Finland, this summer will be quite busy, all my weekends are pretty much locked down, I have so many weddings and bachelor parties this summer.

Kimmo: Oh, you're getting married? I haven't got an invitation.

Teuvo: Yeah, multiple times. (Antti and Kimmo laugh) No, fortunately it isn't my wedding. They're nice events, but they do take up your time.

Kimmo: Yes they do, weekends come and go.

(Antti tells a story about a golf live stream during the covid lockdown, where Teuvo played against Patrik Laine. Both played well but in the end, Teuvo lost. He left the course with very few words, and after an half an hour, posted a pic of his golf bag on his Instagram story, captioned "Clubs for sale")

Teuvo: I remember that. It's what it is, it's never nice to lose.

Kimmo: (laughs) That sounds familiar because I've also sometimes played golf with Teukka, and the round has gone fine, and he says, I'm quitting this game.

Teuvo: Yeah... We've played tennis, too.

Antti: How do you do against him in tennis, can you hold your own?

Teuvo: Well, I don't think i've yet won Kime, at least on his home court.

Kimmo: Well now, there we heard the truth.

Teuvo: But now i have my own homecourt here at the cottage, you're welcome to challenge me here.

Kimmo: (softly) I must come over.

Teuvo: On my own court I haven't lost to anyone else but Henkka Kontinen who's a pretty good player. (Pro tennis player, doubles specialist, career high rank 1 in doubles)

Kimmo: Oh. I'll have to come and challenge you this summer.

Teuvo: You'll have to.

Antti: Hey, that guy is a professional at that tennis hobby of his, he does have an advance.

Teuvo: Or used to be, he hadn't been playing for a full year when he defeated me.

~~~

So, that's just the first five minutes.

A little extra treat from the next segment:

Kimmo: I did some research about your junior years, and it said you started on Helsingin Kojootit (Helsinki Coyotes). Where's Helsingin Kojootit?

Teuvo: It's -- in Helsinki. (chuckles.) Like it says, Helsingin Kojootit, how didn't you pick it up from the name?

(Laughter, Antti is dying)

[thosedaysthatwill]

I would listen to Kimmo Timonen say literally anything, I just love his voice.

Case in point: I listened to him talk about golf in Finnish.

Couldn't understand a word, loved it.

Also, there was bonus "Teuvo hates media" content.

[candycane-hockeymom]

Dear Author of the Hockey Holidays 2023 fic exhange

Thank you for participating and yay for writing for me! I’ve always been super excited about every gift fic I have received, and I’m looking forward to the privilege of receiving the fic that you want to write.

That said, some guidelines on my preferences as a reader and some reasons why I chose the pairings in my request below.

I'm a Canes and Team Finland fan. That doesn't mean that I'd prefer you to write the Canes pairings or Finnish players in this exchange! Just a heads-up, when choosing side characters or secondary teams, please don't be too mean to my faves.

Likes: I like a mature, nuanced view on human nature, characters who have their flaws and shortcomings; characters with dubious morals but maybe sort of a good heart. I love good characterization and character dynamics, be it romance, porn or a gen fic studying personal development of an athlete in his sports career or group dynamics of a sports team.

As themes/tropes I like friends to lovers, fuckbuddies to lovers, enemies to lovers. I like my filth: scheming, pwp, Locker room gang bangs, Winner’s room. I love equal partners, but I also find status imbalances & age and size differences HOT.

Dislikes: a/b/o, mpreg, tentacles, body horror, gore, rule 63, suicide/self harm. I'm not into BDSM AU -- Dom/sub undertones, BDSM elements and kink in smut are very welcome but not the predestined dynamics universe stuff. I don’t want to see any mentions of Alexander Ovechkin. No slander of irl SO's or writing them as villains, but I’m OK with them existing in the story, even if it involves cheating the spouse with the ship partner. Fights aren't a huge turn-on for me.

If you're writing Finnish characters, please don't use google translated Finnish or phrases picked from a dictionary without consulting a native level speaker for beta help.

About AU:s: I like mundane, realistic AUs. I'm mostly into spy / politics / crime / war stories at the moment, and I like band AUs. No high fantasy, please. Some magical realism / supernatural elements are fine if they are what you like to write. Werevolves or vampires? Team vampires, definitely. (But you know what's WAY better: angels. I just might have a bit of a religious kink.)

Prompts for requested pairings (and one pairing that didn't make it to the exchange in time but would make my day)

Remember: these are mere ideas, not requests. Vaguely in order of preference, but pick whichever gets YOUR creative juices flowing, that'll make the best reading, too!

Blake Wheeler/Jacob Trouba: Ex teammates meet on a new team. Has the hierarchy between them shifted when Wheeler has now lost his captaincy over Trouba, and Trouba has established himself as a needed brutal force in his new team? I'd love these dynamics explored, and I don't mind if it has darkish, nasty elements. I don't mind unhealthy dynamics or even violence, but if you see the situation as a chance for healing, redemption and soft landing, go for it.

Esa Lindell/Jere Pöyhönen | Käärijä: Give me anything you have for this crazy ship, I want to see it all.

Sebastian Aho (b. 1997)/Teuvo Teravainen: I'd appreciate an updated look at the current state of my Finnish Cherubs OTP. Teuvo is having a monster season and the hottest stick (lol) on the team, does Sebastian reward him? Or is he jealous? Is he proud? (Please note that Sebastian is jacked, hairy and feisty on the ice but still so devastatingly pretty)

Teuvo Teravainen/Kimmo Timonen: Why not a melancholic story of Teuvo carrying on a relationship to an older married man for years? And for what? Does it ever reach a breaking point, and what then?

Sebastian Aho (b. 1997)/Justin Williams: These Tumblr text posts by @andreisvechnikov say it all: "he's a lot of things…kinda like daddy to me sometimes" - Sebastian Aho on then captain Justin Williams and watching Justin Williams get his Canes' HOF thing and knowing Sebastian "he's kind of like daddy to me" Aho was there because he loves him

Sebastian Aho (b. 1997)/Roope Hintz/Jesse Puljujarvi: I'm curious. Did they have a thing at Junior Worlds 2016? Or before that? Or after that? Tell me!

Sebastian Aho (b. 1997)/Brent Burns: Sebastian expressed a strong interest to be invited to Burnzie's ranch, saying he's "into that kind of stuff" and he'd "grab his own backpack and go". I'd love a messy smut version of how it went down over there. Dom Brent please.

Sebastian Aho/Brent Burns/Jordan Staal: Bottom Sebastian getting it good from two large men. That's all. But, like, a plot-driven war or spy AU could work too.

PLUS ONE: I totally forgot to nominate this crack pairing before it was too late: Roope Hintz/Sergei Fedorov. They look SO alike, don't they? I've always wanted to read an AU fic playing on their resemblance; they could be con artists, thieves, spies or whatever pretending to be father and son but being nothing of the sort. If this tickles somebody's imagination enough to prompt a tiny treat, I'd be ecstatic.

All of this is just to give you ideas, not to limit your creativity! Have fun writing and take care of yourself, Happy Hockey Holidays!

This is my hidden side Tumblr. The actual ones are @caixxa (main) and @badhockeymom (hockey).

If you have more questions, anon ask on any of these three blogs works.

[gulabsjamun]

It’s not his fault. Not entirely. He blames a lot of things, certain people in particular. In order: Sebastian Aho, his own “heteronormative presumptions” (his sister’s words), Kimmo Timonen, and Finnish cultural norms. Apparently he can’t blame Valtteri for being “forward minded” or whatever. Sami Kapanen is on thin ice though.

[princessphilly]

This is legit.

I’ve been watching the Flyers before many of the folks on tumblr were born (since 1996 when I was a lil kid) and this teams reminds me of the fun team from 2003-2004. That team was way more veteran laden but it was a good time. There are also some 11-12 vibes too with the looseness of the team.

Drysdale makes me think he could possibly be like Timonen @hartsyhart @thetravii

Kimmo was traded from Nashville to us, partly because Nashville couldn’t afford him and because he wasn’t playing as well as they wanted him to and Kimmo became a Flyers legend

the 2023-24 PHILADELPHIA FLYERS: a lovingly biased overview

Hello and welcome to Grav's Flyers Propaganda post, a post where I propagandize you and hope to remove you of your preconceived notions regarding my favorite hockey team, the Philadelphia Flyers.

This is not going to be a primer (@fratboybeezer made one of those here), and it's not going to be objective. It will, however, contain as many sources as I can possibly fit in, as well as proof regarding why my soft and squishy feelings towards the Flyers are Right, Actually and why you should Agree With Me.

One final note: I promise there will be no hate towards any other team! This post is not about being a hater (though the city of Philadelphia is full of us!) but about friendship and love and joy and Flyers Hockey.

The Flyers All Love Each Other A Lot, Actually

morgan frost jumps into the arms of owen tippett after an overtime game-winner against the new jersey devils. (my gif)

There's a lot of people saying it: this year's Flyers are a surprising bunch. Something's working on and off the ice; they're outshooting and (marginally) outscoring their opponents, and they're currently (1.12.24) 3rd in the Metro at 22-14-6. (I'm writing this before the Jets game on 1.13.24, so that standing will not be correct at the end of the day.)

So what's causing that, John Tortorella? The return of Sean Couturier (#14, C) and Cam Atkinson (#89, RW)? The rookies, Tyson Foerster (#71, RW) and Bobby Brink (#10, RW)?

Maybe it's just the team itself.

L, Egor Zamula (#5, D) and Tyson Foerster // M, R, Cam Atkinson // from the Flyers IG story following victories over the Washington Capitals and Vancouver Canucks

Things have been changing both in the front office, the coaching, and the team. Joel Farabee (#86, LW), in particular, became a leader off the ice. After his surgery last season, he began opening his home in Philadelphia's Old City neighborhood to other members of the team who were new or didn't have a place to stay. Tyson Foerster, one of the two new full-time rookies, ended up taking one of the bedrooms, but otherwise Beezer had a revolving door of Flyers welcomed in his home. Famously loves Santa.

Speaking of opening up a home. Welcome to Philly, Jamie Drysdale! He's currently staying with (☆) Cam York (#8, D) and Carter Hart (#89, G) who, btw, celebrated Thanksgiving together with Tyson Foerster. (Three pretty best friends!) I know that Ducks fans were worried for him when he got traded, and rightfully so; it came out of nowhere and Drysdale was clearly shaken up (see ☆). But after seeing this team, this season, Flyers fans knew that the team would take care of him. They gave him the dog mask, they came straight out of a loss to immediately welcome him to the team (see ☆), and the front office flew his parents out for his first game. I'm never gonna say this should have gone down the way it did, and I'm never gonna say that what happened was right. But I know that this team –

This team –

this sweet, goofy team –

met him with nothing but kindness and acceptance.

Speaking of Jamie, I wanna talk about our defense. They could use some help, to be sure, but they will do anything – and I mean it – to help our goalies. Carter Hart regularly talks about how the D consistently put their bodies in the way of the puck in front of him. Nick Seeler (#24, D) is currently +13, T-5 in the league for blocked shots (111) and according to this article, apparently absolutely beloved by the entire team. He endeared himself early on by famously fighting Jamie Oleksiak after being on the team for two (2) games, and recently got in a poorly-reffed fight that spurred the Flyers to their best comeback of the year, a return from a 5-1 deficit against Detroit (that we did eventually lose in overtime.)

you don't get this shit written about you unless someone means it.

And I get soft every time I think about our goalies and their rookies. Our goalies are Carter Hart, #79, who has recently moved into the number 4 spot in all time Flyers goalies wins, and Sam Ersson, backup, #33, who, as of 1.12.24, has not let in more than 3 goals for 16 straight games.

Our rookies are Bobby Brink and Tyson Foerster, 22 and 21 years old, respectively, and they've both gotten one shootout goal a piece – one for Tyson, a shutout, shootout victory over the Islanders – and one for Bobby, his first ever in the NHL, against the Capitals. They both credited the goalies in those shootouts – Foerster's move was the only way he could score on Hart when they stayed after practice, and Brink was prepared for Lindgren's poke check because backup Ersson (#33, G) notoriously the goalie king of the shootouts, pulled it on him all the time. (Ersson has won 4 out of 5 games that ended in shootouts.)

Tyson Foerster & Carter Hart after the shootout victory against the Islanders.

Extra :) I know everyone on the ice seeks retribution for hits. Here (frosty) (ersson) (beezer) are some instances of Flyers sticking up for each other, and look at TK checking in on a goalie he crashed into!

So, the Flyers are a surprise this year. Why are they winning? Could be Torts. Could be Coots. Could be playing for GM Danny Briere. Could be any number of factors. But can I be romantic for a second? Can I live in a fairytale? Can I tell you that I wholeheartedly believe that the Flyers are winning through the genuine power of friendship? That despite offensive issues and defensive issues and a paper-mache starting goaltender and a backup that had a godawful .766 in his first three games, I think that this team believes so truly in one another that they're winning for their friends?

Aside: Flyers Pride and Scott Laughton

Ivan Provorov and Tony DeAngelo leave, and the vibes in the Flyers locker room skyrocket? Could be a coincidence. But I want to have a concise summary of just how fucking awesome the Flyers' pride celebration was this year.

Scott Laughton (#21, C) has been talking the talk and walking the walk for years now, and clearly before, it hadn't paid off in the way that really mattered – where hockey is least inclusive, the locker room. This year was different. Sixteen Flyers (source: I was there, read my post) used pride tape on their sticks in warm-up. That was both goalies, 4 of 7 active D-men, including Drysdale, and 10 of 11 active forwards. (check out what Sam Ersson reposted on his story!) And that list could be incomplete – it was just what I saw during warmups and on social media after! In my linked post I attribute the sudden surge in pride tape usage to Scott Laughton primarily, but also to Farabee and Atkinson, who together with Laughts, visited the Philadelphia Mazzoni Center (website!) to donate, in sum total, $35,000! Historically, the Flyers have always tried to give back to Philadelphia communities. The book Walking Together Forever: The Broad St Bullies, then and now by Jim Jackson (yes, Flyers announcer Jim Jackson, AKA J.J.) outlined for me the impact the Flyers had on their community back in the 70s, and today's Flyers are continuing that legacy. Seeing that donation on twitter that day, at least for me –

my friends go to the Mazzoni center for hormone therapy. I might go to the Mazzoni center for hormone therapy. y know?

I've already spoken about Bee's off-ice leadership, but alongside Laughton and Atkinson, both of whom are NHL vets, those three paving a welcoming path in the locker room means that guys who might not be comfortable showing empathy for queer people in another, maybe more toxic environment, now have an opportunity to quietly show support without fear of retribution. And many of them did. (And then there's Tyson Foerster, who sometimes doesn't give a fuck about masculinity.)

Of course, that's speculation, but it's the kind of cultural change that can't be measured and has to happen over a long period of time. The fact that it was such a complete 180 from what happened a year ago is the measurement. Something had to change, and it fucking did.

POWERFUL CONNECTIONS: tk & sanny // DLO and hart

"Drip dinner" where the Flyers so clearly could not have had less drip (affectionate)

Absolutely heinous coffee orders: important investigative journalism from the Philadelphia Inquirer

And finally, the absolute most outta pocket social media team question I've ever seen, featuring unwitting and bamboozled victims Scott Laughton (#21), Joel Farabee (#86), and Nick Seeler (#24): "Do you put your silverware in the dishwasher business side up or down?"

In Summation:

I love the 2023-24 Philadelphia Flyers, and the 2023-24 Philadelphia Flyers love each other. I hope that maybe some of this makes you look at us differently, maybe intrigues you enough to watch some Flyers games! They're a fun, exciting, and sometimes good hockey team with guys that really care about each other and a bright future. Thank you so much for reading :)

[liigainenglish]

DUN DUN DUUUH, THE LIIGA NHL/AHL BROTHER ANSWERS ARE IN. @freepilut​, you guessed three correctly, so you get the shout-out! not that far behind were @fangirlinglikealoon​ and @smileysepe​ with two right guesses.

1. From yellow and black to black and yellow, Simo-Pekka Riikola of SaiPa is Pittsburgh Penguins d-man’s Juuso Riikola’s older brother.

2. Ilves player Antti Saarela’s older brother Aleksi Saarela plays for Florida Panthers (but I could only find him in a Canes jersey).

3. If Detroit Red Wings’ Valtteri Filppula is one of the oldest people on his team, then it’s no surprise his big brother Ilari Filppula is the oldest in TPS.

4. Pelicans goalie Atte Tolvanen probably knows best how to stop Milwaukee Admirals’ Eeli Tolvanen from scoring, and yes, I’m aware Eeli is not currently being the sniper that he used to be, don’t @ me.

5. Okay, Eero Teräväinen plays in HIFK’s U20 team, but everyone on Tumblr loves Carolina Hurricanes’ Teuvo Teräväinen so who am I to leave him out?

6. Kimmo Timonen may have retired as a Stanley Cup champion in Chicago Blackhawks several years back, but since his little brother Jussi Timonen still plays in KalPa, they get to be on this list too.

[badhockeymom]

Teuvo's Dream Five

Another one from the Kimanttia podcast.

Teuvo Teräväinen was asked to pick teammates out of the players he's played with during his career.

Goal: Antti Raanta.

"Our Antti, he's an amazing goalie and an even more amazing person."

D: Esa Lindell and Ossi Väänänen.

"I'm not picking Kime, I'd probably take Essi Lindell and who else, that we don't have to worry about our own end, Ossi Väänänen. That's a sturdy D pair."

Antti: "Don't worry, Kime, Seabrook or Keith weren't picked either."

Kimmo: "That's what I was going to say, don't you have the likes of Duncan Keith or Seabrook, or Brent Burns..."

Teuvo: "No, not them..."

Kimmo: "Or Tony DeAngelo (laughs)"

Teuvo: "I'd take him only on PP, but I thought this was for 5 on 5."

Antti: "Right, stay at home defenders are valuable here, I respect this."

Forwards: Teuvo, Sebastian Aho, and Patrick Kane or Artturi Lehkonen

Teuvo: "Do I play there too or am I benched?"

Kimmo: "You play too."

Teuvo: "So, we need two forwards."

Kimmo: "Yes, center and - or, you can decide where you prefer to play."

Teuvo: "I'd take Sepe, we've played so many years together and it's easy and fun to play with him. Sepe there, and wing - now I have all Finns, so I think I'll have to find another Finn. If he wasn't Finnish, it would be Kane, he's always been my idol, but if I pick a Finn, I think I'd pick - with Sepe, we always play best if the third is a roadie type, for instance Arsi. Lehkonen."

Kimmo: (laughs) "Roadie?"

Teuvo: "Yeah. And Arsi has played well lately, scored big goals in the playoffs."

Esa Lindell, Teuvo Teräväinen and Ossi Väänänen are all former Jokerit players and now co-owners or the team.

[juhollamago]

Finnish hockey legend and Stanley Cup champion Kimmo Timonen has been on the news two times this week speaking about current events.

1. Timonen says people have the right to protest and it is even recommendable in police brutality cases. Sure he also said he thinks the riots and looting are idiotic, so eh hem... So close, Kime, so close.

2. Timonen also thinks NHL season continuation is risque. He makes a point that the NHL doesn’t seem to be taking into consideration that this plan of trying to push players back into playing within a short period of time can easily cause them to have more injuries like knee, abdominal and groin ones that then affect upcoming seasons.

[julzjulzjulz]

Deep cleaning my room and found this from 2012! I remember I was on my way out of the hospital and my dad and I happen to walk by the Ryan secrest radio booth that they have set up and in flash was the fly guys. Someone who knew us through the hospital called us over and was like get their autographs! So I had to go back and look up the roster but it’s Scott Hartnell, Kimmo Timonen, Andrej Meszaros, Braydon Coburn and I cant tell if the top left corner is a Simmonds or coots. But anyway this was a cool memory that I kinda forgot about.
