Unless a player, coach, GM, etc. gives you explicit permission to contact them directly, it really wouldn’t be kosher to invade their private life like that.

Are you granted access through the Kings, or do you contact players on your own?

And you can bet Tukonen won’t be playing in Staples Center anytime soon.

I didn’t do my homework well enough on this one and screwed up. Thanks again for pointing out my error.

Even more obvious is that he has a big fire burning inside…his desire and drive to make it to the NHL, to meet that new challenge head on.

But I guess we won’t really know until we see him in a Kings’ jersey for an extended period.

I like a little arrogance in a goaltender, as long as he’s got the work ethic to back it up…

I’ve seen several sources that said he was drafted in the WHA draft, not the NHL draft. But now I’m seeing sources, including hockeydb, that say he was drafted in both drafts. The Kings did indeed select him. And here I thought I had done my homework. Thanks for pointing that out.

He averaged over 50 GP for 4 years. People need to stop repeating this as fact.
