“Just relief. It was a pretty stressful morning, just waiting & waiting on what’s going to happen. I’m happy & excited at the moment…when I came here I wanted to take a spot, really come forward for it & battle for it. That was the main reason why I came here.“ – Oliver Kapanen on making Habs roster

This kid’s development over the past few years has been excellent. I wonder if he will change his number now. He wore 27 as the captain of the Finnish junior team.
Is that what ABB is wearing? I can’t remember at the moment.
Atta boy Kapanen!
I just wish he didnt wear 91. Like whats demidov gonna wear?11 and 91 taken lol.
He seemed to have an impact any time he was on the ice and at both ends. Kills penalties… Well deserved. More young talent added to make the games even more exciting to watch.
I think he was an extra forward at practice today, I hope they’re not keeping him around for that kind of role
Very happy for Oliver! My grampa was Olavi. He seems to be a pretty smart player so I have good feeling that he will fit in, maybe better even than Lehkonen did.
So whats the deal, can he be sent back to Europe since he can’t go the AHL or does he have to stay on the team the entire year?
