Esa Tikkanen

[JohnnyHBK1]

tacts kidlollldlly hockerycards

[89tero]

If you didnt understand the first thing taken from the papers, ill just translate them to you (its finnish. yea im capt obv qq)

1. The childhood dream of Esa Tikkanen came true.

2.It was like playing in home

3. Esa Tikkanen thought that the USA old president Gerald Ford was the owner of Ford company

4.Team mates cannot understand Esa when he is speaking english

5. the final countdown will now play on your head

6. ''Thanks, Finland''

7. Esa Tikkanen hold Gretzky steady even he had a broken wrist

[Nigelxman]

One of the biggest douchebags in hockey.

[FlyingFinn93]

@Nigelxman Maybe but Oilers maybe wouldn't have won 4 Stanley Cups without him.

[Nigelxman]

@FlyingFinn93 Can't disagree with that my friend! He was a very good hockey played and an ever better antagonist.. :-)

[SittingBull99]

@FlyingFinn93

Indeed, he was an even better form of protection for Gretzky and Kurri then Semenko was. He had the skill and speed to hold his own end as the left winger, as an added bonus. His constant yapping and agitation and getting under the skin of the opposition meant that all the heat went on him, leaving Gretzky and Kurri free to go to work.

[tuubi77]

Tämmöset sika-tikkaset pitäis poistaa pelistä kokonaan. Tässä videossa on muutama esimerkki kuinka hokia ei pelata. Ihme että Tikkanen on hengissä selvinny loppuun asti.

[JiiHate]

@tuubi77 Oishan se aika tylsä peli silloin..

[Nakumuna]

Tälläsii kavereit tarvitaan jääkiekkoon enemmän. TIKKANEN!

[Tork110]

Forever missing that empty net.

[SunriseBackflip]

Best playa EVA!!!

[SunriseBackflip]

:DDd

[Triarity]

This guy played with HEART.

[panoperseeseen]

esaaaa!!!

[juuso1234567]

hyvä esa! :D

[IdioticTendencies]

Esa!!!

[JudasAngel666]

I love how he had 'Tikkanese'

[sabarty4]

1:59 :D

[jjmasmom]

He is by far, without a shadow of a doubt, the coolest person that has ever walked the face of the earth. I'm sure Keith Jones agrees.

[packkkin]

Fuck i wish the Oil had players like this these days.

[Khony]

0:50 just pure awesome!!

[jakkeman123]

my last name is tikkanen :)

[vardiss22]

Tikkanen and Kurri my two favorite Finnish players ever.

[LocoGroove]

Awesome vid bro! Long live TIKI ;)

[vancouverbc69]

great vid

[devilsfan1118]

How anyone could think this useless sack of shit player is remotely 'good' is beyond me

[DobeDobyDo]

@devilsfan1118 You are a Devils fan. Logic and common sense do not apply.

[rakkipallo]

@devilsfan1118 cry little bit more biatch

[MrJuha82]

@HarleyPotter no joo värikäs pelaaja mut ei hirveen taitava toisaalta.

Itse arvostan pelaajassa tuollaista Peter Forsbergin kaltaista taitoniekkaa.

[nammpo]

@MrJuha82

ei todellakaan, Tikkanen oli helvetin taitava kiekollisena. Tärkeimpiä pelaajia millekään joukkueelle, pystyi kaikkeen.

[MrJuha82]

Tikkanens only minus was his weaker skills but oh man, he was very good teamplayer with high intensity.

Always at his best in playoffs-time.

[MegaWolfgang]

He was a pain in the ass, dirty, and somebody you love to hate as I was always routing for the other team. Translation, a hell of a good hockey player.

[ThomaTo66]

Everybody forgets that Esa could score goals, he was a great great forward.

Everybody remembers him as beeing a 'trashtalker'

[klompsus]

Tiki is legend in Finland! Same in Calgary ;-)

[KAAPPOs]

Esa is Best!!!!!

[Warpize]

Esa Tikkkanen = Jarkko Ruutu :D

[MrLCLM]

Very shocking that Tikkanen never won a Selke Trophy for the best defensive forward in hockey. I've often thought he was the best two-way forward in hockey in the late 80s and early 90s, but he never received the credit he deserved.

[Chumppi]

@MrLCLM Don't worry, he's a legend in Finland, he and his Tiki-Talk ;)

[rakkipallo]

@MrLCLM indeed but he is legend with or without selke..;)

[mahtivaari72]

@MrLCLM One reason is that he wasn't a likable person.

[hattrick1972]

My favourite Tikkanen moments were in the 1990 second round series, Oilers vs. Gretzky/LA Kings, where Tik shadowed Gretzky and pretty much shut him down in the Oilers 4 game sweep. As great as Gretzky was it proved that he was human after all.

[tuzzuuu95]

Hyvä video :)

[pepes007]

Kannattaa lukea Esan elämänkertakirja. Saku ensimmäisiä arvokisoja ja Tikin kämppiksenä

hotellissa kun hän astelee sisään bootseissa ja

lännenhatussa ja viskaa Riku Juuriselle (Tiki ei muista nimeä oikein) tukon rahaa ja sanoo, että mee ostaa jotain kivaa ;)

[Chumppi]

Great video!

[MrBarelylethal]

5 time cup champion by the way a clarification he did win with edmonton in 85, even though he played his first 3 games in the playoffs that year they were in the finals, so he did win all of the oilers cup except 1984 and was a champion with the rangers in 1994

[SuperHockey56]

Esa (Y' :D

[Spugester26]

Ehkä kaikkien aikojen värikkäin jääkiekkoilija ja kovin "paha poika", pisti luut kurkkuun kaikille. Hieno mies on Tikkanen!

[Hyvaerinen]

"Kyllähän mä voin Luganon kisoihin lähteä, jos Arajuuri pyytää" ...

[Daggerback]

One of God´s own prototypes.. Wish i had the youthpotion delivered to him bit earlier.

[Rich944inSK]

Nice tribute to one of the NHL's best pests...who was actually a pretty decent player in his own right.

[treecheers]

00:43-00:55

[TheBolt12345]

Legendaarinen

[Pertsa98]

Esa , kyl kova lehmä ( oli ) pelaa lätkää se Kiss kohta oli hyvä :) He is one world one best hockey players ever . little nice

[tauruskulli]

Tikkasen Essi,yks maagisimpii jätkii ikinä!!kova jätkä, joka ois voitu laittaa kenttään ku kenttää. Ja mikä parasta, sen liskäks et löyty käsii, se pelas jengille. Esa - sä olet päällikkö

[ProEetuZZ]

herc kyl liitän vai onko sulla sanottavaa esan kansallisuuteen?

[3rkka]

vanhat jääkiekko oli 100 kertaa parempaa viihdettä entä nykyään...

[ProEetuZZ]

KEHUN TÄTÄ KOSKA JOTEKIN ESA ON NIIN "TAVALLINEN" SUOMALAINEN MIES ELI paras

[HerccuPoiroo]

älä nyt vitun pelle liitä esaa sun kansankiihkoos, Esa on jääkiekkolegenda omaa laatuaan, olis legenda suomalaisuudesta huolimatta.

[Mendariorum]

Kiitos hienosta videosta, Tikkanen on vaan niin äijjä. Mut häiritsee ko toi näyttää niin pahasti entiselt appiukolt.

[DodgeRam4444]

Say what????

[Spitter1986]

I'm so proud that such a great player played for my hometeam (ESC Moskitos Essen) never forget what he had done for ice hockey in general =)

[PeikkoKuningas95]

kyllä tiki on äijä xD

[FinnFoxx]

tiki on vaan legenda, teki työnsä täydellisesti

[Jakoavain]

Esa Tikkanen was really weird, I mean... He had the basic finnish ÄIJÄ (man) attitude... his not even a bad one for Finnish :D !, but he could play also. That's the thing

[veper]

Aivan kuningasvideo. Biisikin sopii loistavasti.

[DiamondJoeQuimby]

why Tikkanen never won the Selke Trophy is beyond comprehension... he was sick on that line w/ Larmer & Kovalev (at centre!) for some of the '94 Cup run.

[AnttiFantti3]

Taas mahtavaa haukea!

Hauki on kala, mutta Tiki on kone!

[Jabo007Celt]

I proudly wear his Oilers jersey.

[karvanaamaria]

@Jabo007Celt i would sell my mom for authentic Tikkanen Oilers jersey

[cwi193]

He once ate at the same restaurant as Alexei Yashin during a playoff series

[kopposka11]

huikee rannari

[Jakoavain]

Well you should check his background, he won more than you could imagine wiht your nhl2009 in playstation.

[legendapoju22]

1:27 - 1:36 jumalauta

Top 10 Hated Players : Esa Tikkanen rofl!

[jojopoika]

tikkanen !!!!!

[bewwis]

Those newspaper "hightlights" have taken book called Suomalaiset NHL:ssä(finish in NHL )!

[echance27]

How come his name is spelled in different ways in the newspaper headlines? (Tikkasen, Tikkasta, Tikkanen) I've only ever seen it written as Tikkanen here in North America. Are Finnish names spelled differently depending on the context or something?

[terohiirou]

well, everything is spelled like its written .

[Jefrma]

examples from finnish to english (sorry for those who think I did a pisspoorjob): Pidän Tikkasen tyylistä- I like the style of Tikkanen** Hän löi Tikkasta- He hit Tikkanen** Did I made it more clear to you? :)

[nab789456123]

Tikkanen's = Tikkasen

I kicked Tikkanen = potkaisin tikkaSTA

[habbaba696969]

tiki on paras !

[Losrandiro]

attilaiaiaialalal tikkanen goele?

[raj2007ca]

Yeah he was a trash talker and a huge pest but the man also had some offensive talent!

[murder112233]

lol ''top 10 hated players, Esa Tikkanen''

[UncoolNegated]

1:37 that is game 7 overtime as the calgary saddledome in 1991 or 1992, first or second round

[finnishockey]

Tiki on äijä!

[lundhead]

hahaha oh man i loved having Tikkanen on the Oilers....he was a nasty player.

[lylster531]

ja tikillä kädet toimi

[lylster531]

tikin kaltasia pelaajia tarvittas sm-liigaan enempikin

ei mitään jenkkien farmisarjoista tilattuja hormoonihirmuja jotka taklaa selkaan aina kun on tilaisuus.

kunnon paskan puhujia ja janttereita jotka käy vähän maalitykkien hermoille

[creatone99]

Tikkasen peli taitoja ei arvostettu tarpeeksi. Sillä oli hyvät kädet ja peli silmä:)

[Losrandiro]

That fuckin lindros bloody deserved it, or what? I don't mean it, he's just so big... how's his mother? Hah ha ha... I'm sorry, but better watch it with Gretzky and stuff. I'm dirty and all. Hey, how's it idiot? Heh heh...

[jukkanotukka]

vittu että legenda mies!! repes siinä 0:50 kohilla kivasti :D

[niinihoki]

we all love ''Tiki''

[icekiekko]

[realcolz]

[PUNKLESSMAN]

Tikkanen ja Ruutu suomen taklijat

[S2MLIN]

[gun4hire]

Nice save Vernon...

[oilcountry2006]

0:55 LOL what the fuck is he doing to that player who wore red? he doesn't belong there he belongs in his own team bench LOL

[HTTriLogic]

That's worse for da opponent, to lie down @ other team's bench ;)

[1sissi1]

tikkanen & ruutu .. WUHUU !!! SUOMIIIII!!!!

[Carpodacuserythrinus]

Hehe, eipä vissiin hauska äijä =)

[teemulem]

tikkanen ja HIFK on parhaita

[PavelBure96]

Tikkanen vaan.HIFK on perseestä.

[tuubi77]

Legendary comment by Gretzky, when interviewer

ask him that how he wants to make hes last goal: 'In stanley cup finals and it pounds off at Tikkanen's ass'!

[bigstickhockey9]

this guy used to get drunk in the locker room after a game, THAN go to the bar]

he was the man

[Smuge40]

he IS the man!

[Whineon]

Tikkanen is a man with THE additude

[GretzkyJr]

Nice video, thanks.

[FinnishSupremacy]

There's no other like Tiki!! LEGEND!!!

[cursedlemon]

Legendary asshole, is more like it.

[FinnishSupremacy]

That was a mature comment...

[cursedlemon]

Is that a Finnish way of telling me I'm wrong?

[pictornos]

HAHA! He's mental, hitting players on the ice with his stick.

[xjuhox]

hahaha! Esa he's the man!

Very gifted players but at the same time very annoying person....

[heavydude96]

fuck toi tikkanen o karu jätkä

[tuomasdf]

hieno mies

[zamboka84]

tiki on kingi aivan kuten Satdin king

[DeathrollDrummer]

Tikkanen oli kyl oikeesti omaperäinen pelaaja

[Henediili]

Kyllä ruutuki on suht koht taitava, mitä oon katellu, mut se keskittyy sen agitaattorin rooliin siellä penguisis ja sehä on saanu aika hyvin jo peliaikaaki siellä näissä pleijareis ja tehny pari maaliaki :p

[11DNA11]

Juu ja jarkko on pelitaidoiltaankin riittävän hyvä, että saa peliaikaa.. Ja se ärsyttäjän rooli on vaan loistava lisä siihen pakettiin :) Jarkosta tulee niin mieleen, Esa, että huh huh :)

[Jefrma]

jarkko taitaa kans sen ett saa hommattua vastustajalle jäähyjä ja pääsee ite kuin koira veräjästä :D

[Hinthaara0wnarit]

Mutta osaa esa paremmin kyllä pelaa jarkko on paljo parempi tappelija ehkä vähän huonompi ärsyttäjä koska tikkasen tiki talk 0wnaa =)

[rakastanjaakiekko1]

The best trashtalker, ever played the game of hockey: Esa "Tiki" Tikkanen

[jukkadamage]

Arvostan Tikkasta mut jos vertailee ruvetaan niin arvostan kyllä Ruutua enemmän koska siltä putoo kintaat herkemmin.

[MrShakyHands]

Tikkanen Perkele! Ja hyvässä mielessä

[Hinthaara0wnarit]

´Henediili kyl muute mut tikkane osaa pelaa ruutu ei vaikka ruutu on vitun kova

[KNIhokki]

Tiki is awesome player! Everyone loves Tiki when he´s in your team but everyone hates to play against him!!

[deserteagly7]

hyvää työtä - good job

[Henediili]

J.Ruutu muistuttaa nii pirusti tikkasta :D

[LayZFock]

paitsi et on ehkä vieläkin ärsyttävämpi :D no, jos gretzky sano elämäkerrassaan, että haluis lopettaa uransa siten, että stanley cup-finaalien seittemännessä pelissä tekee jatkoajalla maalin tikkasen(vastakkaisessa joukkueessa toki :)) perseen kautta, niin kertoohan se tikistä. Huikee äijä. Niin kuin myös jarkko. Kunnon taistelijoita molemmat, vastustajan joukkueessa vihattuja, omassa kaikkien rakastamia

[lamppu31]

When Tiki was a kid, my uncle was one of he's good friends :)

Kun Tiki oli junnu, mun setä oli yksi sen kavereista.

[hebber1961]

piece of shit dirtbag

[Korkkiruuvi92]

Piece of shit dirtbag who has won 5 stanley cups... Remember that.

[hebber1961]

couldn't care less. so do alot of other players that tag along for the ride. he's an asshole.

[TheEqualist]

Asshole? You want asshole? Look at Sean Avery.

[hebber1961]

you're right but at least Avery fights. Tikkanen was a chicken shit that would only punch at guys when they couldn't fight back.

[TheEqualist]

Sounds alot like Avery when he backed down from Laraque, Fedoruk, and a few others.

[rousnell]

or just look at the mirror

[westhouse1993]

dude thats my man right there

esa tikkanen

[josatinho]

yksi idoleistani ja suosikeistani..ja toinen oli kurri

[graves0927]

he had one hell of a slapshot

[vipa69]

suosikkikohta on tossa kahen minuutin kohdalla, antaa ihan kauheen viikatteen lindrosin polvitaipeeseen :D

[turbotubesteak]

Great Tikkanen compilation ! Tik also played for the St. Louis Blues .

[Haukiii]

Yes, but I didn´t find any photos or videos about him with the Blues :(

[lassi666]

tikkanen ei ollut tappelija vaan ärsyttäjä--mahtava pelaaja

[JUMALA24]

Esa Is An Legend

[pillusilma]

Tikkanen on äijä!

[Nuthineverworks]

Ehkä maailman paras Tikkas-kooste ! 10+ tämän tekijälle/postaajalle...

Musiikkikin on paras mahdollinen ; AC/DC rules...

[Razorbladesnake]

Great Vid! F*ucking chicken!

[coocoocoffee]

the greatest pest .. other teams hate to play against, but love to have as a teammate! he brings the missing dimension to ice hockey, makes it so entertaining. and look closely, what he did requires skills! others who hates him and whine about his approach ... but think again, do you have the skill to do what he did? ask Mr. No.66 ... i bet he still sweats.

[HanKKu91]

Good video. One of my favorite players ever. :) And one of the NHL's most hated players ever. :)

[Madhouse2332]

when many people says that Jarkko Ruutu plays similair game as Tikkanen, but i think they even look similair :)

[voijuma]

that goal 1:28--> ended the series against calgary but look at the messiers face at 1:46 hes like "wtf tikkanen scored" :D

[padalias]

As you can clearly tell Oilers own you.

[nikoauto]

toi on kyl äiä siin on kans yks parhaimpii viihtyttäjii

[jonskuli]

I JUST LOVE HIM!! GREAT PLYER. wish we had more like him.

[justSELF]

Legend

[MMemorial]

"fucking chiken"

[Perusvirhe]

oh, shut up supermario bros. There is no oil in youtube, so you have no reason to be here.

[morellov]

You are the only unnormal fucking melon chinned chicken around here. Just go back to drink oil and eat cheeseburger and talk about hockey with other people kinds of u. I dont mean all americans not at all but you and your kind of redneck melonchin chiken oil bitches.

[serm0n]

what does this mean...

[h3ba]

:DD PLS

[flyersrock87]

...Whatever you're speaking isn't "American"...
