Oh BABY! Another cherry popped and this time, you get to know - with whom. Despite probably anticipating a guest from the hockey scene, this guest kicks balls for a livin' , but knows something about hockey too. My good friend Ilmari Niskanen joins us from Scotland as we discuss topics surrounding his own career, overall differences in top European leagues, training, his love for the New Jersey Devils and lastly he gets to be the first guinea-pig on my stable guest episode questionare, so you have to stay until the end to find out, how he eventually handles it.Very different episode from the previous ones and the quality unfortunately isn't quite up to normal standards because of the software we were using, but don't get scared at the start - it gets better after the first few minutes. I didn't plan on having this one-sided discussion, but the guy is pure bread Savonian and could speak by himself for days on end, even if no-one was there to listen. So, at least you get to hear what he has to say and let me tell you - he used his turns to his advantage. So, if you are already tired of my voice, this episode should suit you quite nicely.Lots of laughter and precise analysis upcoming, so light up a candle and make yourself comfortable, 'cause your are going to enjoy this one!IG: thedrop_pass / jtoiva ilmariniskanenTwitter: _JToivaTimestamps:Guest Intro (02:22)Background: (06:06)Year 2019: (11:20)Fc Ingolstadt 04 & National Team Debut: (15:51)Move to Scotland & Dundee United: (19:48)Differences Between Finland/Germany/Scotland (football culture & playstyle): (23:33)Finnish National Team: (28:34)Most Influential Figures: (33:31)Most Memorable Moments: (39:02)The Toughest Times: (41:10)Training for Mr. Olympia: (47:05)Off-Season vs. Mid-Season: (51:09)The Obvious Question: (54:45)Idols & Fav.
