JYP defenceman Eetu Peltola’s unusual goal against Kärpät led Marko Leppänen’s weekly Liiga column. Peltola noticed goaltender Visa Vedenpää had gone behind the net to retrieve the puck and shot from centre ice into the open goal. He said the attempt had been tried before, but this time it worked. Peltola also received more messages than usual after the goal, though nobody had asked him for an autograph.
The column also highlighted Ilves defenceman Otto Latvala, who ended a 93-game scoring drought with a goal against TPS. Latvala’s strike inspired a humorous book-cover edit shared on X.
Other stories ranged from former Pelicans goaltender Niko Hovinen recalling an unusually fast van ride arranged by Pasi Nurminen during the 2012 playoffs, to Mikkelin Jukurit forward Pekka Jormakka leaving a team sauna evening early. Rauman Lukko goaltender Daniel Salonen also joked about an error that gave HIFK a goal, while the column included lighter anecdotes involving HPK, Lukko and TPS players.
