Second star tonight. Two assists. 4 shots.+- even, if you're into considering such things. 

I'm sure if one were to try hard enough there would be negatives to point out like 2 minors taken. 

Not a trend yet but any series of good performances has to start somewhere.

2nd star only? Bust!

Last generation's Salo, although oft-injured, was still an important piece of that core. A minute-munching defenseman who can contribute on both sides of the rink is a valuable piece. IMO if Juolevi became anywhere near Salo with or without the injuries that would be a big win for our organization. Found money, even if it's 50 cents on the dollar.

Absolutely. Our Dmen are always going to get injured, we need lots of them. Remember in 2010-11 we didn't have room for all our good Dmen, so Juice was considered to be tradebait as soon as Salo  comes back from injury. But we always have more D injuries, so lo and behold come playoff time we still had all 5 top 3 Dmen. Another Salo would be just fine. And it kinda looks like that's what we will be getting.

I pray that I am wrong but Juolevi is starting to be this generations's Salo with the injuries.

I will gladly have OJ take on the mantle of 'the next Salo' injuries and all.  He always battled back and was as a fantastic player.  If needed the club could hire me to follow OJ around with an ambulance fully decked out 24/7.

OJ's looking pretty good here, I hope we can have a look at him after Christmas with the big club. 

He looks bigger than I remember.  He needed to grow into his frame, and it's looking like that's happened.  He's going to be up here soon.
