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)

[dumbasssportsboys]

just looking at old ap images and crying tonight 

[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.

vegas golden knights, washington capitals, new york islanders, florida panthers, ottawa senators (for dog days of summer), toronto maple leafs, winnipeg jets !!!

Thank you!! So many questions wow! (They're from this list)

Vegas Golden Knights: What trope(s) is/are your guilty pleasure?

All and none of them. Inside the fandom I don't feel guilty about anything but I'm not willing to talk about reading fanfic with my IRL contacts.

Washington Capitals: What were some of the first fics you read in the fandom?

Hockey rpf? One of these three:  Score More Goals by insomniacjams, Start Real Slow by coricomile and twisting the kaleidoscope by thermocline must have been the very first one. They are all from late 2016/early 2017, that’s when I started reading.

New York Islanders: What fic(s) live(s) rent-free in your head?

Anything I've ever read by bauer, no matter if I've finished the fic or not. J! (jump (caution!)) by mimimini. And many more!

Florida Panthers: What’s your favorite behind the scenes idea that never actually made it into a fic?

In a birthday party scene in money shot, I was going to write something along the lines of "Kimmo serves good quality champagne, he is never cheap with his wines like Jampe (Jarmo Kekäläinen)" but I had to leave it out because I didn't name Kimmo's friends in the scene. I thought it would have been a fun line to use because Jarmo being cheap with his wine choices is a thing that Kimmo Timonen has told on his Kimanttia podcast.

Ottawa Senators: What is your favorite line from [insert fic]?

In Dog Days of Summer, it's this:

"You said you wanted space to figure out where we are headed,” he says, voice cold and stiff. “This is it, this is the space! Don't complain when you get what you asked for."

Toronto Maple Leafs: Which fic is your most self-indulgent?

Answered here, but I might add that the whole series it's a part of (King and Prince of Carolina) is nothing but self-indulgence.

Winnipeg Jets: How many wips do you have? (This includes everything from vague ideas to half-written fics.)

4, one is a vague idea but the other three have something written in. I've forgotten all about any other wips.

Thank you and have a great day!

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.

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.

[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.

[thosedaysthatwill]

On today’s episode of “How Do They Know Each Other?”….

[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.
