Looks like he has stamina
So, how Roby Jarventie been doing at the WJC so far ?
Can someone give us a detailed evaluation of his play ? I've looked at the stats sheets, but it doesn't look very good... 0 points in 5 games ?! Especially when you consider the guy picked right behind him... J.J. Peterka who's been absolutely electric with Germany
Jarventie has had a rough tournament. I dont think we need to make long term judgements on young players like him based on one tournament. Got to wait and see how things go once he gets back to Liiga play. Could be as simple as he got in an argument with his coach or got injured or is just suffering really terrible jet lag, we will never know. Similarly, I don't think we should judge Peterka as being the home run some people want to after one tournament.
He's also been stellar in the German mens league with 16 pts in 12 games.

I am going to help everyone feel a bit better about Jarventie's underwhelming performance at the 2021 WJC, albeit points are not the only way to judge good from bad, but it is a start (for example, you can play well and not get points or play real bad and still pick up points):
2010:
Kuznetsov: 2 points in 6 gp
Fowler: 2 points in 7gp
Zaitsev: 0 points in 6 gp
2011:
Baertschi- 2 points in 6 gp
Brock Nelson- 1 point in 5gp
Maatta- 0 points in 6 gp
Couturier- 3 points in 7 gp
2012:
W. Karlsson- 2 points in 6 gp
F. Forsberg- 1 point in 6 gp
---- skipped a few years for the sake of longevity----
2016:
DeBrincat- 1 point in 5 gp
Virtanen- 1 point in 5 gp
Chlapik - 0 points in 5 gp
McAvoy- 0 points in 7 gp
2017:
Heiskanen- 1 point in 6 gp
Elias Peterssen- 1 point in 6 gp
Balcers- 2 points in 6 gp
2018:
Fabbro- 0 points in 7 gp
Abramov- 1 point in 5 gp
Heiskanen- 2 points in 5 gp
Q. Hughes- 3 points in 7 gp
Norris- 3 points in 7 gp

Now somebody bookmark this post so you can post it every time the "Jarventie sucked at WJC therefore he is a bust" debates come up again.
Couldn't care about the points. What I was disappointed in was his playstyle.

Did you also watch all of those players I mentioned above, in all the previous WJC tournaments too?
Heiskanen was a star. No idea why you used him. You also used some defensive d men then brought up their point totals. It was a strange post overall.Did you also watch all of those players I mentioned above, in all the previous WJC tournaments too?
I remember last year Byfield being absolutely brutal and bobbling every pass his way.
Jarventie was drafted as a very, very raw player. If I see him struggle this bad next year then sure, concerns are legit. But my God, that performance.. especially for a FIN.
What concerned me the most was not his playstyle or lack of production. It was just his lethargic demeanor. Whenever Finland scored and they showed the bench... almost EVERYONE was up in arms except him, he barely reacted.. at all.
A) using Zaitsev here is incredible I laughed out loudI am going to help everyone feel a bit better about Jarventie's underwhelming performance at the 2021 WJC, albeit points are not the only way to judge good from bad, but it is a start (for example, you can play well and not get points or play real bad and still pick up points):

No ones freaking out. Just commenting on how bad he’s been. When he plays well we’ll talk about that instead.I don’t get why people are freaking out. He’s 18 year old. Yes he had a bad tournament but he still have next year where he will be 1 year older with more experience in the Liiga.
Woah easy on Logan Brown there.Robbie is a double-edged sword. Otherwise he would have been a 1st rounder.
We've seen one edge: the skills and size he used to put up 14 points in 19 games in the Liga.
Now we're seeing the other edge: a moody, inconsistent player with questionable work ethic who will regularly end up in the coach's dog-house.
He's a Logan Brown type.
Heiskanen was a star. No idea why you used him. You also used some defensive d men then brought up their point totals. It was a strange post overall.
A) using Zaitsev here is incredible I laughed out loud
B) I don’t think anyone thinks he’s a bust because of this tournament. He’s just been what he’s been. Not very good. And people taken soon after have been good to great. And he has that style that does not exactly appeal to everyone.
It was simply meant to highlight that even star NHL players do not necessarily have great WJC tournaments and pile on the points.
Using a guy like Zaitsev as an example shows that you can still carve out an NHL career even with 0 points at the WJC ( and I know he is not an offensive defenseman).
I do not get it though, you guys ignored a bunch of guys on my list and are nitpicking over a couple of guys. Plus I skipped like 3 tournaments between 2012 and 2016, could have been more examples.
