Teppo’s in Town!

My son will be thrilled! Teppo Numminen was seen at HSBC Arena yesterday, with his equipment. He gave a simple “I’m back” comment, and Lindy Ruff said his health is being evaluated. If he can get in game shape, I’d love to have him around these young D-men to offer his experience.

edit to add: I always love these age comparisons (from the BN article):

Mike Weber was only 2 months old when Numminen played for Finland in the 1988 Olympics, while Andrej Sekera and Michael Funk were 1-year-olds. The recent Rochester call-ups have a combined 44 NHL games. Numminen has played 1,235, including 154 with the Sabres the previous two seasons.

We get it, Teppo’s OLD.
