Everyone Loves Hump Day And It Gets Even Better With Our 10th Win In A Row!!!
Al Bello. Getty Images.We are looking for #10 in a row and when I think of a hockey player who wore that number I think of Esa Tikkanen. For those who don't know him, not only was he a great hockey player, but he is Finnish and loves his beer and those are the reasons he leads off this blog!!!
Wednesday always has me in limbo mentally. Is it too early to start the weekend bender with some Big Deal Brewing beer or do I stack my chips and hold out til tomorrow when more games will be on and the action will be bigger? I’m sure many of you face the same dilemma and if you choose the prior I wish you good luck. We all know what Esa would do!!
This blog will help you to pay your bar tab or whatever trouble you may get into tonight. So let’s get to it!!

Murls Breakdown:
Ahh, Vassan a very lovely city in Northwest Finland. This city is North and when you think North it is basically the same as where Iceland is. But a good visit if you are ever in the area. Anyway, the team this club put together is a very strong defensive team that is not going to play at the pace any fan wants to see. They have scored one 1goal in back-to-back games and this is a bad matchup for them. This team also has one of the lowest attendance on average in the league so the home ice advantage is non-existent.
Now when I said in the paragraph above that Vassan is North, well Kärpät is really North. In a gorgeous city called, Oulu where you can tee off to play golf at Midnight in the summer, I’d guess this would be Whitney’s dream so he never has to leave the course.
This is the shortest road trip Kärpät has in the league so there are no worries about bus legs here. They have a real shot at winning the league this year with odds sitting at +350 in the futures market on Barstool Sportsbook. The team relies on 2 young goalie prospects, Joel Blomqvist a 2nd rd pick of the Pens, and Leevi Merilainen.
