oldnews Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 We haven't seen him in situations to evidence his finish, the strongest part of his game, but the other things he has shown are promising imo, for such a young guy - awareness in his own end of the ice, and shows good strength in his puck battles. He hasn't quite shown a cycle game to make him a viable linemate for the twins yet, but he's had only a few handfuls of shifts in the NHL. I like seeing him on the roster though, in the absence of an entire line of top 6/9 guys, and a few 4th liners...Good experience, and he certainly doesn't hurt the team when he's on the ice, which is a positive in itself - solid signs whether scoring or not.

ShakyWalton Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Ever heard of an ELC? Yeah, he's going to get as much NHL experience as he can without using up a year. He's not losing us games so why are you complaining? Btw, how are the Lames doing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuck Surfer Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Yes that's the right move. I'd like to see him play a game with Raymond + Roy for a game first though. Such speed, and Roy looked very dangerous last night. I also liked the shift with Kassian, Roy and Burrows. It might just free up Kess to play with the Twins... Probably be sent back to the Wolves when Raymond is back. We could see him back for the playoffs though depending how far the wolves go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peaches Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 When he came up, I didn't expect him to be ready. So fa he's been alright. Has good speed and size. Also not hurting the team defensively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Jimmy Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 You fail to realize the type of player Jensen is. First of all, he's our TOP prospect. Second of all, he lead his team in scoring in the SEL. He has experience playing against men and held his own pretty damn well. You're treating him like he's a Jankowski. Give the kid a break and accept that he's going to play a few more games here until he reaches his limit. All your negativity after a win is blatant trolling. I'd stop before you get banned.

spliced Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 I thought he fit in a bit more tonight on a line that generates offence off the rush. He looked lost playing with the Sedins, but that may have just been first game jitters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockeywoot Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 He's not ready yet. Part of it seems timidness/nervousness Like his skill set. Some traits are NHL level. Others not quite yet. Promising. He's been decent defensively, which I thought was supposed to be a weak area. Pleasant surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugar baby watermelon Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 He is up for the max games he is allowed then he is sent down again, we have ray ray and kes coming back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperReverb2 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 I thought he looked pretty good actually. Certainly seen much worse. Don't think we've seen his best though. Think that might be pretty impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cc_devil Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 You can't tell when he's on the fourth liine like every rookie AV brings in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JensenFan2011 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 he really hasen't been that bad. however i could see him being sent down today and brought back up when the wolves are out of the playoffs. Just needs some time in the AHL to gain some confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmployeeoftheMonth Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 I think at this point the biggest problem with him is his timing. I think he has the skill set to play in the NHL but he needs to get used to the speed of the game. I like him but I'm thinking at the least maybe next year is a better time for him. Certainly they should play him as much as they can here now but I don't see him having a real consistent impact until next year at the earliest.

EmployeeoftheMonth Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 He was born in Denmark. That makes him born in Denmark with a Danish heritage. He moved to Canada a young age and because of his father, he has dual citizenship with Denmark and Canada. He chose to identify with Denmark in the tournament, which is well-within his right. Therefore the statement, "Good Canadian Boy" technically is inaccurate. In the end, who cares? He is BOTH Canadian and BOTH Danish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InTheCrease Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 He looked more nervous than anything to me, and as others mentioned, his timing seems to be a bit off. That said, it is only his second game, and he is on the 4th line. Why not try him on the second line, drop Hansen to the 3rd and see if he gains some confidence and timing, even for a single game. Playing on the 4th line is not going to help the situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodee Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 He has had some difficult games but in fairness he has not looked great in Chicago either. The setting up of our owned affiliate can't come quick enough for these young guys as far as I'm concerned. We need them to be playing the Vancouver systems before they come up. Having said that I thought Schroeder was doing fine and was a bit unfortunate to go down. It's a pity he couldn't find a place in the team just to watch how a small centre like Roy can shine amongst these big bodies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 I've been impressed with him defensively. I don't think he has shown everything he can yet, I think he could play better offensively. But I think he is really nervous. Its his first time in the league, its not that surprising. He's still shown some good things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
