The Canadian is in Colorado tonight to face the Avalanche.
It is also regarding the reunion between Artturi Lehkonen and the CH. Moreover, Lehky took advantage of the passage of his boys in the Rockies to buy them dinner. Yesterday, Joel Armia, Jake Evans and him went to eat and it was the Finn of the Avalanche who paid the bill.
It was good because it was free. – Jake Evans, chuckling
Lehkonen bought Evans and Armia dinner last night.
Besides, in the absence of Gallagher, he would like to hit them solidly tonight ????⚪️????— Marc-André Perreault (@MA_PerreaultTVA) December 21, 2022
Hopefully, the one who has 21 points in 27 games this season and is on course to have the best season of his career, offered some tips for his former teammates to score goals. Armia and Evans still post a zero in the goalscoring category this season.
Lehkonen wants to defeat his former teammates, but if he might tackle one solidly, it would put an exclamation point on his already emotional evening.
As indicated Richard Labbé in his paper on LaPresse, Lehkonen looks less nervous and calmer in Colorado. The principal concerned is the first to say it, he has not changed anything in his game, but simply the fact of going from a “not very good” team to a good team makes a difference. He just wants to contribute to the team in every way.
Despite everything, Montreal was like a second home for him and when he left, he was obviously very sad. Today, he plays with better players, for a team that aspires to high honors. In the 2021-2022 edition of Colorado, Lehkonen was important in winning the Stanley Cup, but this year he took his game up a notch with all the injuries.
Lehky is quite disappointed not to face another of his good friends, Brendan Gallagher. He missed the Canadiens’ last games due to a lower-body injury.
The 62 of the Avalanche will be back in Montreal on March 13th. By then, I dare to believe that Gally will be there and will be able to suffer the “wrath” of Lehkonen. Will it be the CH players’ turn to invite him to dinner?
A lot of

– Yes really.
MLB should have a salary cap. But, since it doesn’t, I’m glad some owners embrace the chaos. Good for the #Mets and #Dodgersamong others. https://t.co/nbEra0pb3g
