Piristyspuhelu

So on Wednesday, Mikko Koivu called Mikael Granlund to lift his spirits.
"At the end, it's one shootout attempt," said Koivu, who won a world championship for Finland with Granlund last May. "It's not going to make him any worse or any better as a player."
"Everybody who knows the game, everybody who looks at the game, they know what kind of player he is. One shot won't ruin that. He's got to know that. It was a tough spot to be in, and a big deal for him. But it won't make him any worse. He's going to do just fine when he gets to [Minnesota]."
If you know Koivu, he's not exactly the touchy, feely type. So for Koivu to show this kind of compassion was big.
"He said, 'It's just hockey,'" said Granlund, selected ninth overall in 2010. "He tried to cheer me up. It means a lot that he called me. He's a great player, and a good friend."

Tänään kävi vähän sellainen juttu, että itsekin olisin tarvinnut Kapteenilta piristyspuhelua.
