  1. SwedeHockey will be on display tonight!!! 

  2. Just watched The Departed once again. Absolutely the best movie I have seen in recent memory. Everything from Scorsese to the assembled cast (especially Jack Nicholson and Mark Wahlberg) is top notch. 10/10
  3. I hope that is irrelevant though.
  4. Matthews never played in the CHL, but, I get your point. I really hope he does improve this year though. He should be on the roster next season.
  5. It'll be interesting to see what happens with Juolevi. Ideally, he'd be eligible for the AHL. Unfortunately the past suggest that players going from the CHL to Europe to the NHL don't end up reaching their potential. Hopefully he can change that narrative.
  6. Not a make it or break it year for Goldobin, but he's definitely got to step it up. He's almost 22 and most skilled guys like him have proven something in the NHL by then.
  7. Ray Ferraro was on tsn1040 today and made some excellent points about Jake. I agree with what he said, which is basically to send Virtanen down to Utica where he hopefully scores 10-15 goals before Christmas. Allow him to play 15-16 minutes a night and continue to build his confidence. Then, bring him up to the NHL.
  8. 3 games doesn't really mean a whole lot other than that he's clearly gained better habits. If this wasn't the case then in February 2016 he would've been considered the second coming of Jesus.
  9. I actually did watch about 20-25 London games this past year, but thank you for jumping to conclusions. And guess what? I wasn't very impressed with him. He was not even the best defensemen on the team, Victor Mete was. Of the games I watched, he was frequently getting beat wide, which happens to be the same issue he is having right now. 6 or 7 years ago, this wouldn't be a huge issue, but the NHL is a different league than what it was. By the time most young players are 21, you already have a good understanding of what you have in them. Since 2013 (excluding 2017 of course) there's only been a few prospects drafted in the top 5 who haven't made an immediate impact. Namely MIchael Dal Colle and Bennet, both players who probably shouldn't have been drafted where they were.
  10. The problem with Juolevi is that his development has been stagnant. He hasn't really improved since he was drafted, which is inexcusable for someone picked that high. You can take Tkachuk out of the equation and still be upset over the Juolevi pick.
  11. I agree. If he play well in pre-season, I think it's best to reward him with more ice time in Utica and a larger role on the PP. Let him get comfortable this year playing in different situations and have him be one of the first call ups for injuries. For me, the same goes with Boeser, Dahlen, Goldobin, and Juolevi (who will likely play in Finland).
  12. Fast as in what? Hands? Skating? He's certainly not a fast skater if that's what you we're alluding to.
  13. No. I don't think they could make up for the injuries.
  14. Please avoid going off topic. This is the Olli Juolevi thread. Thanks
  15. Give him 9 games to see an extended look. If he can gain a little bit of muscle in the summer, he should be fine. If not, no rush.
