Give it a rest man, this is getting old quick. In terms of collecting rubber-stamp state-says-you-are-educated, yes. In terms of actual education, no. Canadian high school education is a joke, really. Can't math, can't science, can't trades- can't ANYTHING properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love how he carries the puck in with confidence and looks for the outlet!! the hitting is a thing of beauty and icing on the cake The hitting is a missing piece this roster doesn't have enough of. I'd actually like him to pick up his hitting a bit more this year. He currently sits with 7.78 hit per 60 min putting him somewhere in the 35-40 range amongst forwards. Last year he was at 10.98 hits per 60 which put him in the 15-20 range.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Jake's a beauty. His development has taken a big step this year. He's starting to process the game better, and making better decisions with the puck. He's setting up more plays, rather than his usual skate like the wind to the net and try a wrap around. 10 goals before Christmas, he could get 25 goals this year. Green is also trusting him late in the game and to start OT, and that's huge. His confidence is on the rise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I agree that he can hit more.I think now's the time for him to take a page out of Stan Smyl's handbook and hit hard when they hit us hard like tit for tat. ie controlling the tempo of the game which is why I like Roussell so much. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I like the increased production for sure. I’d like to see him get up closer to the 13+ hits per 60 min rate where ferklund is currently at. Either that or this team needs to add another top 6 forward who can throw his weight around to help alleviate some of the physical responsibility. I guess I’m still old school and would like to see our team intimidate other rosters for once. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know that it is critical when it comes to CUP play. Different season and a much tougher game. Regular season play gets you an invite only. It is a questionable yardstick to measure a CUP contender by. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

48MPHSlapShot Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 One thing that I'm finding a nice surprise is just how many of Jake's goals seem to be clutch goals. He's able to find ways to score when the game is on the line, and that's pretty damn valuable. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
