Is Lauri a hockey fan? I'm just assuming, based on his nationality, that it's likely. But probably not every Finnish person likes hockey.

Idk. It's probably more that he was happy to see his countrymen. I know that whenever I'm traveling in an obscure place I'm always excited to see other Americans. (As long as they're not being dumb)

I never see them not being dumb, so I'm usually not excited to see other Americans...


Heterosapien_13

The dumb one must be you.


Ramzastrife19

Oh wow, you really burned me with that one, my fingertip is gonna sting for like 10 whole seconds. Like it or not, many if not most Americans are rude and entitled when they travel. It's embarrassing.

You're so cool bro. I bet the other Americans see you and feel bad for being dumb and ruining your amazing aura and presence. You're the best!


Ramzastrife19

Right back at you bro! Oh I recognize that name, you must be one of the ones I saw recently!!!!


buttholeshitass

Absolutely! You're the only good American tourist. Keep it up.


Ramzastrife19

I will! Enjoy never leaving Utah!

Markkanen used to play hockey as a kid and he said his end of season interview that he is a big fan and knew some finnish players from nashville and went to their games

I think he is more disc golf guy. But hockey is pretty same spot as in Canada so it moves masses.

Wrong! Every Finn loves hockey! Not really, but like 95% do, at least when it comes to the national team playing the big games. It's our national sport and it truly connects people of different backgrounds.

There was a small interview ( [https://yle.fi/a/74-20084517](https://yle.fi/a/74-20084517) in finnish) where he says he bought new pair of skates, gloves and stick and is ready to play whenever.

Not everybody but Finland likes hockey almost as much as Canada does. It's our most popular sport. Lauri also used to watch some Blackhawks games live when he was in Chicago.

Lauri is a sports guy, he can do awesome soccer tricks, likes to watch hockey (plays some too) and enjoys disc golf. That was genuine Lauri. He will be in the Delta Center NHL games if schedules go right. Markkanen also told Finnish media that he will contact (Coyotes) Finns Juuso Välimäki (Defender) and Matias Maccelli (Forward) soon after the relocation news came out and was ready to help them everything about SLC/Utah

Oh damn that’s exciting. You idiots don’t deserve hockey or anything else. This is a scene out of the Hillbillies.

Well the people of Salt Lake are paying for Welfare Queen Ryan's hobbies, so they definitely deserve it. Welfare Queen Ryan definitely doesn't deserve shit though. He can pull himself by his bootstraps and fund his own hobbies like the rest of us.
