from Risto Pakarinen at IIHF.com,
Hockey is a game where you have to be at the right place at the right time. That is what makes a great goal scorer. And great scorers are always sought after in hockey. But sometimes, as a player happens to be at the right place at the right time in the rink, he’s also very much at the right place at the right time outside it.
That’s what legends are made of.
Ville Peltonen not only happened to score a goal in the 1995 World Championship final against Sweden. He happened to score a hat trick in the 4-1 win that brought Finland its first ever gold.
He was two-and-a-half weeks shy from his 22nd birthday.
Had you yelled “Villeeeee Peeeeeeltonen” in a random Finnish city, at a random time, in 1995, within seconds somebody would have replied, “Ville Peltonen!”

Artyukhin Hit On Peltonen May Be Under Review

from Erik Erlendsson of Bolts Report,
There is a good chance that Evgeny Artyukhin will at least receive a phone call from the league office, if he hasn’t already, regarding his knee-on-knee hit with Florida’s Ville Peltonen. It appeared that Arthukhin stuck out his knee as the two collided at the end of the second period. Peltonen lay on the ice for several minutes and had to be helped off the ice. The Panthers scored the eventual game winner on the penalty (which was called tripping, not kneeing).
