  1. Meh. He had 0 points last year in the playoffs. If memory serves he took some stupid penalties last playoffs. If I'm betting I bet he takes more stupid penalties that cost his team this year. Overrated player surrounded by some talent.
  2. Other than Liljigren and Dahlin. Not anyone impressing me too much on Sweden tonight.
  3. Ya. He isn't afraid to go to the dirty areas which is a good sign. Once he gets stronger he will win more battles that's for sure.
  4. I will go on record wanting MT when he was still on the board. Was a little shocked we took OJ. Grew to love the pick. Pretty sure he will not be the best D in the draft but will be a top four and that's great. MT is a goof. He would get away with a lot less if he was a Canuck. He is the better player right now. Talk to me in three or four years. Young, solid, top four D are a rare commodity. Easily on par with a reckless, one dimensional winger who has been gifted top minutes on an inbreed squad.
  5. To me OJ is the best Fin D. You could argue Heiskinan is and you could be right. What I don't get is OJ's time in ice. I would play him more if I was coaching. The winning goal went in on the third pairing D with a minute half left. WTF. I would of played the top two pairs for the last 2 or 3 sets of $&!#s of the game. Even the games in general. I would sit the third pairing way more.
  6. I agree OJ was by far Finland's best D. He goes side to side and his pivots look effortless. Head always up. Not very physical. But modern D aren't that physical.
  7. I noticed that foot speed on a couple plays as well. Then I saw a quick burst three steps from a guy and then noticed it was OJ. Hopefully just inconsistent with it.
  8. Very good game for OJ. Just does his job. Nothing flashy. Gets pucks on net. He is coming along nicely.
  9. This. The goal against wasn't his fault.
  10. Not even close for speed. But quick mitts for EP!
  11. Wonder if he gets the same press Mittlestadt is getting.......doubt it.
  12. Fun game. Don't forget to turn out the lights. See you in the OJ thread.
  13. Imagine the press EP would get if he was a Leaf prospect!
  14. But......but.....EP is a fail if he can't do it all himself say some. Lol
  15. No kidding. They kept giving EP the puck. But no one creating a passing lane or getting open for a pass.
