For sure. There was one play where he tried to take his check but was knocked down. Tied up his man enough for another guy to get the puck out.

 

But he was at least trying. That's all I wanna see out of a skilled guy. The worst thing is when a skilled player won't even engage.

I loved his game. The skill was high level and the compete was there. He called himself a playmaker and I saw him looking for boeser every time he got a touch. If Goldy and Petterson get together, they're going to make someone very happy.

He played very well in his first game of the year.  Not only did he generate offence and pick up a point,  he was engaged on d as well. 

 

I think if if he plays a few more games like this last one,  his AHL days will be behind him.

 

goldobin has been more of an under the radar prospect for is this year,  given the success of demo,  dahlen,  Juolevi,  gaudette,  Lind,  and petterson. If he can step up and produce,  it also allows us to move someone on the roster for extra picks or prospects.  It's going to be an exciting couple of years for us!

Loved his back check on a play where the d-man pinched. Took the puck away and turned up ice. Very nice first game.

Like with Virtanen, he'll need to buy in that he has to bring it every night to be that "everyday player", or like Jake he'll be in and out of the lineup.

i think Jake will still eventually be an every day player on the Canucks. fringe second line player. elite third liner. he’s on pace for about 22 points this year. hoping he starts to be more consistent with his game and starts producing more offensively.

I’ve watched every game and I’ve seen really good things out of jake. Honestly I think he need more ice time if you really want him to take the next step. other then a couple game he’s played solid and you really can’t expect him to pile up the point with like 9 minutes of ice time a night. I’d like to see him get 13-15 a night.

I agree. I think he has shown a lot of improvement but there is a ways to go yet. Although with injuries he may be up for a while but I think he finishes the majority of the year with Utica and will hopefully be ready to take on a full time spot with the nucks next season.

The kid doesn't have it, he'll be back in Russia in no time.  

Love the optimism.   So if a prospect isn't all-star material in the first 50 or so NHL games they are clearly going nowhere with their careers.  Is that how it works?

Players take time, def not an overnight thing

True, he reminds me of Radulov when he was a rookie. There were a lot of really bad plays and the coach was reluctant to play him but he became a real good NHL'er in the end (aside from the attitude that is)
