SO.. WHAT ABOUT PEKKA AND JUUSE?
i'm here to answer that important question! in case you are new here, this is who i'm talking about:
yeah, those guys! pekka rinne and juuse saros.
they have quite a bit of confusing and shocking history when it comes to their situationship friendship, and i'm here to give everyone some of my favorite little pieces of information i've retained over the year or two i've been invested in these yellow guys!
first comes first, i'll inform you on the most basic knowledge, then i'll go more in depth.
FIRST PIECE-the collaring
the gif is right above. the collar was an item specific to that day, kind of like the shovel they use in the room now, but just one game. pekka received it, then said, "i've gotta give it to my boy," referencing juuse (a whole OTHER subject!) juuse gladly accepts it and just kind of lets pekka collar him. basic but amazing information.
SECOND PIECE-daddy and son
the most recurring of them all, the daddy and son "jokes" are pretty out there. it first appeared on an nhl beneath the ice video, with some quotes-
p: "daddy."
j: "yeah, he's my daddy, and i try to help him out as much as i can."
WOAH! i feel like the joke went right over his head... whatever!
another instance is the ice basketball video! pekka calls him son like a million times, but here's one bit-
THIRD PIECE-the tennessean reports
unfortunately, most of these articles are old and hard to find, but i have some for you! not much to say except to read them... they're pretty self explanatory!!
FOURTH PIECE-ELEVEN years?????
while i have no PHYSICAL evidence for this, i cannot make this up.
this is a pretty underground one. pekka was with a woman, a finnish singer (i think she won the voice...) and they were engaged for eleven years. then out of nowhere, pekka got a new house and broke up with her in the process. that exact year was when juuse was called up. he got his own room, went to pekka's sauna frequently and cooked with him! how cute!
FIFTH PIECE-NHLWAM

i don't know finnish. a lot of people don't. however, NHLWAM is a pretty good source for some pekka and juuse stuff. here are some translations in things they've said:
