The treatment of Jake throughout his time here has been nothing short of ridiculous. Just look at the presser her and Petey had. I understand there needs to be an expectation for the players and staff in the organization but there’s better ways to go about it. I still don’t get why you would want Oj to be scrutinized. Just let the kid play, no need to put him under a microscope. For the very reason you are stating. My own opinion is to just let them play but they, the media, fans and management, aren't so let's spread the wealth around. "What is good for the goose is good for the gander" Or "All things being equal" Tit for tat all of those phrases have to do with being fair. So OJ, picked higher of JV has that little bit more expectation, that expectation that JV now enjoys so much, he should have even more. Not sympathy. The only sympathy for these millionaires should be that they were bad selections for those spots. Those spots make for high expectations because they have a 97% success rate of making the NHL and 85% rate of being impact players. Put OJ and the whole bunch of them under the same microscope, all of them, but if not, then at least the kid with the higher expectations when drafted, all things being equal, at least his parent won't have to suffer with all the negativity around their home.

OJ is just too slow and can't turn and no mean streak. Holander is a distraction for the masses. Looking at him they are not thinking about OJ. Holander looks really good out there, he should he is in game shape but lets wait a couple of weeks when the rest catch up, hopefully he carries on showing up most of the forwards. So the media and team are "look at Holander" without a peep about OJ I haven't watched OJ's games in the minor, except for highlights. His passing looks great but there were indeed some highlights where he seemed to get beat wide. It seems like you followed him closely? Do you think his skating is a problem enough for him to prevent him from making the jump to the NHL this season (or at all)? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had to take some time off during the season for nagging injuries related to the recovery. (over-compensating other muscle groups I believe) As he became more healthy, his pivoting and first strides improved. He finished off the season on 1st unit PK duties and was relied on to defend leads late in games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post MrCanuck94 Posted January 10, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 10, 2021 Juolevi's presence is very calming, Tanev-esque. Love how he keeps reading the play and jumping into the spots where the play is going. The look-off pass into the center or cross ice is mint. 1 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll check back in a year when he's still in the AHL. Two weeks to go to the 25th....you better tell Green to get him that ticket to New York State as currently I think he has other plans for a now healthy OJ. Perhaps Green is blinded by his "rage tears" however. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeneedLumme Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 (edited) Not sure what the troll-boys are going on about with OJ. OJ is certainly far from being CDC's favourite son. Wanting to see him under the same microscope as Jake? He is already there, and has been there since he was drafted. Jake is probably the only member of the team who has had as much unfair crap dumped on him as OJ has. This thread did not get to 731 pages via an endless string of glowing posts by homers like me.
