Kapanen was not the first player from my favorite team in Finland, KalPa Kuopio, to play in the NHL. But he was the first to actually made a career there, finishing with 831 regular season (458 points) and 87 playoff (35 points) games. Sami was a rocket on skates, won the NHL All-Star Fastest Skater Competition twice. Had an A on his Philadelphia Flyers jersey and a C on the Finnish National Team and of course KalPa. Not the biggest big guy but played with a fearless style, can't help but dig him.
