dpn1 Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 OJ looking good tonight. Some timely shot blocks and great first passes. Not shying away from rough stuff at all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post zimmy Posted December 8, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 8, 2019 (edited) 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.

Not a trend yet but any series of good performances has to start somewhere. I'm a super big fan of Juolevi. Have been from day 1. Goodness knows we've needed a top notch high pedigree dman since ... well since our existence. I believe in +/- while many others don't, but I also see many reasons why people have bad plus minus and are still good players. It's very situational and paints more of a picture of the situation than the player. But really, you should be able to influence somewhat whether or not you are scoring or getting scored on consistently from shift to shift. I think we are going to be amazed when he finally gets to the NHL. He is big, smart, quick, calm, smooth, has a great first pass, and can run a PP. The one thing that has always concerned me is his ability to cover and then clear the front of the net. I have mostly watched him with London and he always seemed to pull the "I'm here but not really covering anyone routine", and then he got easily pulled away from his front of the net responsibility. This can easily be taught though. His raw instincts cannot. Edited December 8, 2019 by Gawdzukes 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rollieo Del Fuego Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Sounds like Oli was instrumental in keeping the puck in the O zone several times before rifling a pass to Boucher for the tying goal. It won't take long for him to round into form if he can just stay healthy...! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokes Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 I pray that I am wrong but Juolevi is starting to be this generations's Salo with the injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 4 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be thrilled with another Salo......not so much with the injuries. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opposing coaches must relish the thought of getting their top line out against OJ. If he's that far down the list in the AHL where would he rank if he played in the NHL? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
