Even with the press was praising him, I&#39;ve never thought he was an elite player.<br /><br /> More of a grinder, journeyman type.<br /><br /> Faceoff losses are hurting the Wild badly too.Menoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30880744.post-12387812704904766932011-10-20T13:07:40.992-05:002011-10-20T13:07:40.992-05:00I agree.<br /><br />I think Mikko is a good leader, and a hard worker, but I would leave him outside the top 20 centers as well.<br /><br />He&#39;s one of those guys that&#39;s better with certain players, but hasn&#39;t proven every situation is right for him.<br /><br />I&#39;m glad he&#39;s in Minnesota, but some of the praise is simply over the top.Justinhttp://sotsohockey.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30880744.post-63190930324776220802011-10-20T06:15:53.891-05:002011-10-20T06:15:53.891-05:00Koivu&#39;s wingers are better now, but here in Finland people wondered 4 years what the hell did Miettinen do in the NHL in the 1st place?? Setoguchi is ok but Heatley is rubbish as always. He&#39;s at his best in the WHC, a second tier tournament at best. Mik&#39;s a HARD working team player, a leader. Not the most skilled center. But I&#39;d go with Mikko when the game is on the line.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30880744.post-50261410185259305932011-10-19T17:42:27.892-05:002011-10-19T17:42:27.892-05:00This blogger is a moron.

So I guess Miettinen was a 20 goal player on his own?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30880744.post-1223272798964293732011-10-19T16:24:04.893-05:002011-10-19T16:24:04.893-05:00Mikko is already a better hockey player than Saku (Hence Saku not wanting to play with Mikko in fear of losing ice time to little brother). and not skilled on offense? It&#39;s only been a month where he has finally had scoring wingers to play with, This would be an article better written in december not october...

He was a great leader, a good checking line center but on a contending team would be a 2nd or 3rd line center, even in his prime. I personally think Mikko is a better center then Saku was/is.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30880744.post-44472996047661068462011-10-19T15:27:05.178-05:002011-10-19T15:27:05.178-05:00DuhAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30880744.post-63141304445676323732011-10-19T15:00:22.142-05:002011-10-19T15:00:22.142-05:00You&#39;re not alone in this sentiment. I think a lot of Minnesota fans want to believe that Mikko is every bit as great as his brother, Saku; however, that&#39;s just not the case. Mikko will never be a game-breaking superstar. Anyone who truly believes he has that ability is either:<br />A) A total homer of a fan or<br />B) DelusionalAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
