Popular Post Smashian Kassian Posted August 20, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 20, 2022 17 minutes ago, Goal:thecup said: I liked Sbisa, it wasn't his fault we did not have any better defensemen, and he stood up for his mates and could hold his own (most times?). He got beat a little too easily for the role he was put in but had a good attitude etc. JJ could be a serviceable to good defenseman for us for a long time if he works out. We need to pump the D pipeline up! Truscott, Myrenberg, Jurmo, Pettersson. I think we have a couple guys that have a legit chance. 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locke Lamora Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Jurmo just had an amazing rush up the ice to set up a team mate who ripped one off the post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’ll never be a point producer like Hughes though. Jurmo can be a real physical defenceman, his transition game is beautiful Edited August 20, 2022 by Pure961089 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WJC has lots of fast skating players who lose their checks which puts pressure on the d-men. What I like about Jurmo is his skating but also being able to find the open man for a pass. He passes well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred65 Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 (edited) He's certainly an older player on the Finnish roster and yet does not stand out ( exceept by Canuck fans ) I like what I see but it's a coin toss if he makes the NHL Edited August 20, 2022 by Fred65 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Too bad there's no fighting in WJC. I'd love to see Jurmo drop 'em with someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think he'll be able to process the game fast enough for the NHL as he makes quite a few puzzling decisions with the puck once or twice a game. If you asked me last year, I would've said 10%. I really like how he's looked in the world juniors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would too, just to see how he'd do. Not so much if he got his clock cleaned though. As we all know, being big doesn't necessarily make him a good fighter.

Sean Monahan Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Only watched the second and third periods but I thought Jurmo made some good plays. His skating, size, and puck skills make him look like an NHL player. Let’s hope they can coach up some of these mental mistakes he’s known for making. Maybe we can get an NHL’er out of him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Googlie Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 He's a lefty, yet his signature move, used 3 or 4 times tonight, is to wheel round left to right behind his net, pursued by a forechecking forward, and as he comes round the net he stiff arms his left arm to fend off the forechecker/pursuer while controlling the puck with his right hand on the stick. Obviously comfortable doing that under pressure. Makes me think he could convert to a right side D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.I.A.H.N Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Ok.............I just hate reading regurgitated news. And a few of you, and you know who you are, are doing just that. IMO, Jurmo had a great world junior's. No he is not a offensive juggernaut, but he kept his game simple, and used his strengths. So, against his peers, in his last tournament (world juniors) he did just fine. IMO, he stays in Sweden and plays 2/3 years, then lets just wait and take a look at him Let's leave the expert analysis to the experts..............he did not disappoint...........that is what is important here! Don't expect points, hope for stability, and defensive awareness. I was happy with what I seen.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurn Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 I'm pleasantly surprised the people worried about Joni's lack of points give Demko a free ride for the same thing. It means they recognize not all positions in hockey require the player to post points. Just need to expand the "points not needed" target group. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It drives me off the wall when I see people whining about defensive defencemens' lack of offensive output. That's the equivalent of complaining about Fin because he did a poor job of mopping the floor in the offices while the janitor was on vacation. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
