Absolutely loved Juolevi’s game tonight. His best sequence was in the third period after Myers’ go ahead goal where he retrieved the puck in our zone and made the safe play to chip it up the boards past the forechecker Tkachuk. Tkachuk accidentally on purpose kicked Juolevi’s skates out from under him, and when Tkachuk got the puck moments later he got trucked by Juolevi. 
 

I am impressed with Juolevi’s willingness to play the body. He wasn’t scared to step up on Matthews a few games ago and levelled Tkachuk today. Once this kid gets stronger and quicker over the next few years opposing forwards are gonna hate playing against him. 

He plays a similar game to Mattias Ohlund.  That’s why Benning drafted him.  Unfortunately he had two major injuries and was behind the others drafted after him.  They way he is playing it shows he can be a top 4 Dman in this league.  He may not have the flash of Sergachev but I think when all is said and done he will have a great career if he stays healthy.

Hogz is a beauty for us too.....he's a huge difference maker.  He plays a very unafraid/confident game.

What makes me sad is he's more physical, and goes to the dirty areas more than Jake does.

Oh yeah! The thing is, he's been so consistently good every game, it's hard to pin him down...

I'm liking OJ's game. More upside to him then I thought.

It's amazing what a bit of time at home/off/to practice can do.

 

Our team will benefit from the conditioning stint they were just put through in January.  Other teams are going to play catch up and hopefully wear down.  One game...but it was a convincing performance and something we know they're capable of.

 

They were not backing in...they were turning the Flames away at the blue line.  Turning the puck over and frustrating them.

whoever agreed to let's play 17 games in 26 days should be fired.  An extremely bad decision

[Devron]

I know the entire defence was wicked good tonight but saw a bit of confidence seeping back into Schmidt as well

Hate to wish injury on a player but... if someone was to throw a Churla elbow on Tkachuk, I wouldn't be heartbroken.

He'll be nosebroken for sure tho.

Sutter's goal was a beauty even if it was an ENG.

Love the way he's playing.

 

I recall in Utica he started off 'slow' then really picked it up as the year went along. Pretty sure it was a similar case w/ TPS where he started 'meh' but ended the year playing big minutes in the playoffs.

 

Think he'll just keep getting better as he gets more comfortable. You can already see the improvement from his last stretch. Really encouraging. 

He made that one quick pass to a wide open Petey. I wish Petey would of ripped that. Sharp angle but that pass was hard to track since there was so many bodies and it could of caught Marky off-guard.

 

Then he lays out Tkachuk after Tkachuk tripped him in the corner away from the puck and then battles and gets a clearing attempt right after.

 

Overall you see improvements from his first game. Good signs.

[oldnews]

The long game with Juolevi starting to pay dividends.

 

He's another one of the young 'stars' on this team - but has an under-the-radar quality to him (if you don't watch him closely, that is, otherwise, it's pretty evident).

He gets to the heart of the play.

If we can take the series against Calgary we ill be back to playoff contentions. .  We will be back in the mix of things 

[Nave]

That was a statement game.

Not trying to start ish around here, but honestly I think the only player that put in a pretty crappy effort tonight was a player with a last name that sounds like irtanen, and a first name that sounds like cake.

i agree, a couple times he had the chance to shoot the puck, instead he stopped and gave it away, what a waste!

He always had upside. It's just he's been injured a lot. I hope he stays healthy and turns into a star defenceman.

Hey - they lost in regulation.  No downside there.  Plus it's nice see to see TT can score against an team not named Vancouver

He made multiple passes in the o zone where he found the open guy.  His best game as a Canuck imho

Disagree.
