Jesse Puljujärvi, you scored your first goal at the men’s World Cup. Did you notice it yourself?
– I didn’t notice right away.
When did you notice?
– In a minute.
Did someone come to remind me?
– No. I noticed it myself. There have been one (men’s) competitions before this. They were drawn with basic binoculars.
You also managed to retrieve one puck when Juuso Riikolak scored his first World Cup goal. You obviously noticed that yourself right away?
– No, when Riikola told me! Hehehehe!
What kind of instructions did you get from Riikola?
– It said it was the first. I was immediately clear!
However, getting the puck didn’t go according to plan. The second linesman of the match grabbed the puck from “Pulju” for himself.
– Yes, I got it from there. And yes, it did rob it. It took it.
Puljujärvi believed that Riikola would still get the puck as a souvenir.
– That puck should come from somewhere. I don’t know what that system is.
The linesman explained to Puljujärvi why he had to take the puck away from the Finn. However, the message was not transmitted properly.
– Well, when it spoke English and I couldn’t understand it at all. But I understood that it had to be given back.
Puljujärvi scored three points in the match. When asked, he thought about the last time he had as many power plays in one game. The answer quickly came to mind.
– It’s been a long time. 2021 in December. against Columbus.
At that time, Puljujärvi played in the NHL as a superstar of the Edmonton Oilers Connor McDavid’s with.
– Three points! They don’t come every night! Puljujärvi said and burst into a laugh that never stopped.
At the same time, all the journalists who came to cover Puljujärvi burst into laughter.
