Nice to see some of our more physical players to go to North America and try to get a spot on the big league. Hopefully we see some fights from them. Also have to say that these signings weaken already weak situation when it comes to physical hockey/fighting.
Petrell is a big guy who's been one of the best power forward in FEL over the last few years. He had a couple of fights while playing here, for example in his rookie season he fought with tough guy Jani "Militsiya" Honkanen.
Tyrväinen is also a good power forward with a smallish frame. He's also more of a pest, but he also drops his gloves occasionally, at least in Finland. He led FEL in PIMs last season with 186. In Finnish hockey fight site Nyrkkiä Leukaperiin! he's been chosen as the rookie of the year (2010), cheap shot artist of the year (2011), the most entertaining player of the year (2011) and best power forward of the year (2011)
