SAMI LEPISTO RUMORS & GOSSIP

Sami Lepisto’s grotesque looking knee

Chicago Blackhawk Sami Lepisto blocked a shot last week. A week later he tweets a pic of the hematoma and LAF grabs: “This is why I shouldn’t be blocking slap shots!!" Which looks a heckuvalot... Full story at Bob's Blitz ~ http://www.bobsblitz.com

Sami Lepisto has quite the bruise

Chicago Blackhawk Sami Lepisto may be eliminated from the playoffs but not for lack of effort. Lepisto tweeted this picture of his leg at least a week after he blocked a shot in the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Lepisto had just three points in 26 games this season so you know how he makes his living, and it ain't always pretty. I haven't decided if this bruise...

Blackhawks’ Sami Lepisto takes puck to the leg, has a horrendous bruise (Picture)

The gutsy blue liner tweeted a photo on Monday...

We appreciate the P.S.A. but we could have done with a proper warning before checking this out over breakfast. Article found on: Cosby Sweaters

Video: Sami Lepisto Saves A Goal Vs. Maple Leafs

I’ll admit it. I’m a fan of Sami Lepisto. While Joel Quenneville obviously doesn’t share the same sentiment, as Lepisto has spent much of the season as a healthy scratch night after night. But injuries have forced Lepisto into the lineup, and he’s actually played pretty well with the time he’s had recently. He’s proving to be a nice third pairing...

Sami Lepisto Is A Wasted Roster Spot

On Dec. 3, I wrote that it was time for the Blackhawks to cut ties with defenseman Sami Lepisto. In the wake of Dylan Olsen’s two games with the NHL club, this reality couldn’t be more painfully obvious. Since that … Continue reading →
