If the nay-sayers here had their way we would cut a 19 year old kid who hits like a cement truck and was the fastest skater (forwards and backwards) in his league.
These are the same guys who shredded the Twins calling them sisters etc.
A hahaha haha, there is that low hockey IQ comment again. Show me the test and his score. It doesn't exist. Button said it and if you Google low hockey IQ you get nothing. Stop using it and stop whining. If you want to cheer for Nylander, join their board.
Incessant whining is criticising? How can you criticize a 19 YEAR OLD who has played 19 games? Kane was selected first overall, Toews was 3rd. The 2 players taken at 6th those years. Sam Gagner and Brassard. Let's wait to see if Jake develops. Whining about him now is nothing more than being a whiner.
When did he have a bad WHL season? His last season he was injured for a third of it and put up a point a game. People expect him to be McDavid. There was only one of those. He is a 19 YEAR OLD. Bury your heads for 5 years and then talk. He has a long ways to go BUT a long time to try to get there. DEAL WITH IT, WHINY BRATS.
It was a decent shaker, but for those who lived near the San Andreas, this was like bad gas. Wait until a 6+ rolls through here. People are going to $#!+ themselves. 7 or 8, will be devastating for weeks. People won't sleep properly.
Outside of Lindros and Benn, there have been few, if any big body skilled players who had an impact at the WJCs. They take longer to develop.
He is playing very cautious, has been all year. There were a few shifts where he cracked it open today
The shark from a sharks tale paints himself to look like a dolphin and sings a homosexual song about himself. You likely don't have kids. This has been a good period for Jake, he seemed interested.
Where is Jake's fire? I thought he was part Finnish, which is supposed to come with a fire in the belly. He should look like a shark hunting prey, instead he looks like sebastien, the whale washing dolphin.
