Others collect stamps, Valteri Filppula (39) titles. On Tuesday evening, the Finn personally ensured in his home country that he would soon be able to expand his title collection. He scored two goals and helped Servette reach the Champions League final in a 3–2 win against Lukko Rauma.
The veteran and his team have struggled to score goals this season. “I wouldn’t necessarily say that I have doubts or that we have doubts. But it’s true that over time you start to wonder if you need to change something in the way you play to make it better,” said Filppula, who is eight in the league and now in the CHL with three goals on his name. “We have now scored several goals in Finland and I hope we can continue the momentum we have gained.”
Unlike the Stanley Cup he won with the Detroit Red Wings in 2008, the Olympic and World Cup gold he won as captain with Finland in 2022 and the Swiss championship title last spring, the Champions League trophy is still missing from his collection .
One of 30 in the “Triple Gold Club”
The International Federation IIHF has established the “Triple Gold Club” for those who have won titles in the NHL, at the Olympic Games and at the World Cup. Filppula was the 30th player accepted.
When asked if he had checked if there were other members of the “Triple Gold Club” who had won the Champions League, Filppula said with a laugh: “No, no, I haven’t.” The fact is that he would be the first. Since he also led Servette to the first championship title in the club’s history, a very exclusive club could be created for him if the Geneva team were to defeat Skelleftea in the final on home ice on February 20: the “Five Star Club”.
PS What should calm the competition in the domestic league: Filppula has not won more than once a title.
