SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Juolevi played 18:43 on the 2nd pairing today. No points, 2 shot attempts (wide), and even in a 4-1 win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flickyoursedin Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Hopefully getting a rare good team game they keep everything as it is for the next game. Meaning Juolevi on the number one PP and 18+ minutes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's also the only reporter who just reports facts, not speculation. A throwback if you will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meaning Juolevi on the number one PP and 18+ minutes! Yeah, nice to see Olli getting minutes and TPS balancing out the icetime among their D pairings. Riding the older vets like Tallinder (39 years old) and Heikkinen (33) on the top pairing for 25+ minutes a night didn’t seem sustainable and was probably not the best way to manage icetime down the stretch and into the playoffs.

Here’s a good quote from a recent article and interview with the hardest working man in Vancouver sports media: http://www.airchecker.ca/2017/10/25/interview-rick-dhaiwal-king-sports-radio-news1130-vancouver/ (I know this is the Juolevi thread and didn’t want to get too OT, but figured nobody would mind a post singing RD’s praises.) It sounds like Jim has a go to insider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.Dahlin26 Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 His scoring has dried up significantly. Believe that's no points in 8 straight games now. Only 1 goal in his last 23 games. Would like to see him get some games in the 20+ min range soon as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going say placing a hit immediately in all situations in order to break up the play instead if waiting for the play to develop, and being consistently successful at it.

Even with the current dry spell, he's still near the top of all time U20 defenseman scoring (ppg) in one of the world's top leagues.

I don't understand how that is concerning in any aspect Lack of patience most people have. OJ is not even 20, I think he will be a good NHL D man, could be a Jyrki Lumme 2.0 will a tad less offensive stats. When people see Heiskanen and his stats plus making the Olympic team the comparisons and lofty expectations are set by many. I still think OJ will be effective for us, I was all for taking Tkachuk at the time. But OJ is a Canuck now, I will support and hope he pans out well for us. It is good he is playing against men vs another year in Junior. Next year maybe a handful of games to start but go down to Utica wouldnt be bad either. He could win a spot outright in camp too! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Dixon Ward Posted February 20, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted February 20, 2018 I think that the signing of Gudbranson is directly related to OJ's development. They know that OJ will need some protection out there in his first year or two and Gudbranson is huge and a RHD. Del Zotto and Gudbranson give some time for OJ and this years draft pick to develop. 4 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally Id rather see Juolevi play with Stetcher or Tanev. Guddy needs someone very efficient at moving the puck out of the zone and it would be hard to put such pressure on a rookie Juolevi. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I agree you don’t want to put too much pressure on a rookie but those are all the aspects of Juolevi’s game that he thrives in. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nave Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Edler Gudbranson Juolevi Tanev looks like a good top 4. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think he will be a deterrent from guys like KASSler Martin, tkachuk. Just look at Boston the other night. Marchand didn’t dare do his antics because of the presence of Gudbranson. We also need someone to prevent boeser, pettersson from being slapped around, ribs jabbed, jabs to their face , and that’s what Gudbranson brings.

kloubek Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 31 minutes ago, The 5th Line said: Does it though? Yeah... No. There are some decent pieces there but there is little scoring and zero dynamisism. Not going to say that's a bottom 4, but its pretty close on a good team. Add in a legit star scoring threat like a Dahlin and its looking a whole lot better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
