Call me whatever you want but its damn nice to see some of these prospects really showing the want to win. Even when its gritty open ice checks like that one. Sure its probably a couple seconds late but once you commit, you commit. Anyone who has played hockey knows that especially at the speed he was obviously going at, its pretty hard to just stop and bail out. I'm not saying I want dirty players but I want guys who are hard to play against. Jenner is exactly that.

I agree, whatever you want ... we do have some excellent, hard working, will-to win type players in the system. This is the kind of culture change that has always been necessary for our franchise.

The question I beg is, had the Swedish kid not been so obviously injured on the play, and had skated to the bench as Maatta had after the check last year, would the penalty have been as severe? I watched last year's hit so closely, so many times. I won't argue that the hit today was late, because it absolutely was ... I agree with all of you there.

One thing I'll mention is that Boone Jenner isn't on the team to do what he does in junior. With Oshawa, he's counted on to be a leader, plays on the powerplay, and is their top line presence. With Team Canada, he's a depth/role player, likely to spend much of his ice time on the third and fourth lines, expected to kill penalties and provide a physical presence. This will likely be his role in the NHL if/when he gets there, so this is the kind of play we should all expect to see from him. Hopefully not quite this reckless though ;)

No. The reason he was thrown out is because of the IIHF rules. If a play can be called a penalty, and due to the play the opposing player gets injured, the minor will automatically become a major. The only exception to this rule is high-sticking which has the double-minor standard.

This. It wasn't even a few seconds late. It was just barely less than 1.

Sorry that the Swede got injured, but I want to see those types of hits from Jackets players. I want them to hit hard. I want them to finish their checks. And I want the opposing players to be on their backs.

I'm not advocating flying elbows or hitting from behind. I'm advocating laying someone out when they watch their passes. That's the type of intensity I want to see.

Jenner gets 3 game suspension.

Kukla's Korner .com‏@kuklaskorner

Canada's Boone Jenner suspended 1st 3 games of WJC. If you missed the hit.. http://kuklaskorner.com/hockey/comm...suspension-for-hit-in-wjc-pre-tournament-game …

Pretty angry about the suspension. Too much in my opinion. i could see 1 or maybe even 2 games but they probably figured it would hurt a lot more if he misses a pretty meaningful game against the americans and make a bit of an example

Korpisalo drew much praise from the NHLN announcers working the USA-Finland game. Looked much like he did at development camp, very sound positionally.

He's already named a starter for the tournament opener against Latvia.

Mike Reilly played well today for USA> I believe he was a +2, and his breakout pass set up the first goal although he wasn't credited with an assist.



He's #6

He set up the goal for Sean Kuraly, who is Dublin,OH native. Also Dublin is the only American city with 2 representatives on the team USA roster.

Looks like a good showing for the Blue Jackets at the WJC. Really think that this team will be good going forward. Just in this tournament alone you see a future top 6 forward in Jenner, possible future head goalie in Korpisalo, Czech captain Lukas Sedlak showing why he has the potential to be a very good 3rd liner with leadership abilities and Mike Reilly making the USA squad. Add Ryan Murray into the mix and this group looks very, very good.

You guys could have a full leadership core going forward just from the last two drafts:

C- Ryan Murray
A- Boone Jenner
A- Lukas Sedlak

Character group right there.

Don't forget we have 3 picks in the first round of the draft this year. Which if there's a lottery could be very interesting.

Thank god for Jones.

He's not even close to be terrible. Reilly did a good job once when he broke up 2 on 1 rush while Jones was wandering in the neutral zone. And I'm not the only one who noticed that:

Nice D by Reilly on that 2-on-1 vs Grigorenko. He's also been very strong on the puck, very impressed.

USA ties the game BTW.

What game are you watching? Reilly hasn't played better than his pairmate Seth Jones, but he's arguably played right with him. His defense is alot better than people have been saying.

Two in a row great outlet passes by Reilly. The first one was turned over and the 2nd resulted in a shot on goal by Miller. He's got some inpressive puck moving skills.
