When we start up our next series: "Arrogant children in the community who have no respect for others" - I guarantee you will be our first call! Peace and love

Lamsa who made it to the Summer Cup finals this summer and now leading his team who no one believed in to the ELITE playoffs in front of several top ranked teams. Mid-level players? Take a step down please Tuukka.R. Peace and love

Lamsa caught atleast me off-guard in summer cup as he proved to be a valuable asset to the team and played a major role in winning/losing us free nhl. And don't mind Ape I think the guy has shown countless times how he's the community's most ignorant and inconsiderate member.

Having suggestions or thoughts is one thing. Stumbling in to take away the spotlight of a certain player by putting them down with certain comments, and having the need to share your own negative thoughts about how much someone else deserves this instead, is another thing. And it’s pretty meh according to me. Prove yourself on the ice and feel good about yourself and your friends while doing so instead. Everything isn’t a contest, everything isn’t about boosting your own selfesteem over someone else. This is just straight up a really nice thing and article series made with the publishers own thoughts, with good intentions for the community and the players within. Let’s keep it like that.

I dont understand how youre taking doumi as an example. I believe hidden gem posts are more about players that are a bit unknown to others or underrated. Floor isnt unknown player for most, but lamsa can be for some still. Taking doumi as an example as hes known very well inside the community with his skill set, he shouldnt be in the hidden gem section for that reason. This is more like about players that are underrated compared to their level of skill in my opinion. You need to remember always that when these posts are made, they are made by the creators opinion, not the communitys.

xDoumi superstar and Lamsa mid-level:D interesting points of view.. or just really nasty drugs. Maybe you are up next one then;)

next hidden gem mikaasi cama..

You are of course allowed to have an opinion, we encourage it! Just as others are allowed to think that the manner in which you voice those opinions comes across as somewhat arrogant and condescending. Maybe you didn't mean to be disrespectful, maybe you are trying to save face here - to me it doesn't matter, what is done is done and it is what it is. I understand that you want your friend Doumi to be featured, I do too. He is a tremendous EASHL player, just like you are Ape. If I remember correctly, I believe the term "next superstar" that keeps getting thrown around about xDoumi actually came from one of the texts I wrote a few months ago. I could be wrong though, I just have a vague memory that I wrote something like that. I will leave you with this thought: When you came into this article and started talking down the people who are featured ("...players that the author feels haven't quite gotten their time to shine at NHLGamer or players that aren't getting full credit for the skill they bring to the table" - from the article) because you thought it would be fun, how did you think that was going to make you look? Or did you not care at all?

Pato is doing great work in here I think. At least I love reading these... I get this Hidden Gem idea, would be boring to read this kinda stuff about already known Gems. Or dunno, Ape is one of a kind and Torro only black NHL player? Would be fun to get these two for interview. Anyway. News, articles, podcasts... Everything is more than welcome! Cama, keep it coming.

when you have reached the top, only way you can go is down

Ape aka ecl champ steps down? Naaahh... Apes

Waiting for players like @Ikavalko, who really is a hidden gem.

Suggestion. Next time make story about new players who might be next superstars. Like Xdoumi etc. Now you're making storys about mid-level players. Sry for those who now thinks they are hidden gems. Peace and love.

@FlyerKungen Imagine how long the playoffs would take or how hard it would be to get the games played if everyone thinks like you? There would be eight teams in elite playoffs asking for more time because someone from their best possible lineup are on vacation, hangover, tired or cat has eaten someones playstation. And if your biggest argument is "this isn't competitive" there aren't any reasons to change anything based on that. NHL teams are playing their games too, even if somebody is injured and they can't use their best lineup. We need rules and scheludes, if it's too hard to follow them, don't participate. I'm tired of this new generation where minority thinks that everything should go like they want and how it's best for them, even if it harms the majority.

Very much agreed! I’ve played with him a couple of times, and he’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing! I haven’t really ever played with Lämsä, so I can’t say anything about being on the same side but the points do seem to keep coming. Nice work, I like reading these articles.

Hidden Gems: @Vihreet

Oh god I should just ignore you.. I thought you said you were out and case is closed. I'm not trying to be jesus, I just said my opinion... Hope you can handle it

You know, there's an idea for another series, the best non-white players in the scene.

Next superstar

I think a week is more than enough to play 4-7 games. If you’re not able to field your best lineup, that’s on you I think.

You're a wolf in cheap clothing!

Hidden gem as forward: JOHTAJAVIRTANEN

Really no offending towards you xdoumi, I think you are both great players. Just didn't get Apes fantastic post

Is it a fps? I barely play those anymore .

Next hidden gem Snapu48?

The rule is there for a reason. If you have a really good player in your roster but he can only play once in a blue moon then is he really that 'good'? Since more often than not he can't play. Your job as a captain is to field the best possible lineup, not the best, as it has to be achievable. If you decide to take a chance and bring in 6 'main' players with 2 'fillers' then that's fine, but you absolutely cannot turn around to the admin team and ask for an extension because one guy was 'off'. The player minimum is there for a reason and if you end up being forced to play a playoff game because one of your main guys can't play, well then that's completely your fault for not acquiring good enough backup players. Ideally do WOs have a place in playoffs? No. Alas we don't live in a perfect idyllic world now do we? So such a thing will inevitably occur once in a while. Edit: Wait hold up, this doesn't feel right... I'm defending the admins? Who spiked my drink?

NOS - GRR 4-0

DPH and EVD for pro! 🇩🇪 😎

What did you do? Buy the game?

I wrote my comment based on that statement because in my opinion that just sounds stupid. Bugimir is in miami right now and you don't want to play against us before he comes back to finland. Okay, maybe it's coincidence that you are writing something like that here just now.. Sorry, maybe I just made a stupid prejudice. And what comes about my face or instagram followers, it's not relevant at all. Anyway see you on the virtual ice and hopefully in nhlgamer cruise someday!

Aapo - NOS 2-4 SJK - SKY 1-4

We understand that everyone wants to play with their best lineup. Tho it's not always possible and you have to work around it. The deadlines for each round are there for a reason - everyone has to follow the same set of rules and the same deadlines. There's no preferential treatment. OK, lets say we indefinitely extend the current round of the playoffs because of a single matchup where both teams couldn't ice their best lineups. Now what? Everyone's forced to wait? What will we do when another team approaches us regarding the same issue? What happens when in the following rounds teams actually can't play their games because of the previous delays (holidays are right around the corner)? What happens when we are forced to push back/cancel the next ECL/Summer Cup? We're open to all suggestions and will always try our hardest to help teams to overcome any potential issues. There are valid reasons for not being able to finish the series and if such cases arise we can possibly try to squeeze in an extension. That said, demanding an extension simply because one of your main players decides to go on a vacation and then the team doesn't want to play the series even though they have enough capable players is just ridiculous. Please respect other members of this community and their time.

NOS-Aapon 4-1

I dont want to offend anyone. And no im not either disrespectful. Just wanted to point that youre hidden gem could be really hidden gems. Ofc now current gems can be little upset but its just my personal opinion. Sorry if my thought hurts like a hell.
