He played well.

For a pure rookie if he didn't stand out doing dumb things he played well. In this case he didn't do anything boneheaded and I think he smacked a post in the 1st period. Good game rook.

He definitely looked better than Sheary from last year. He wasn't spectacular but didnt make nay bad plays. He also got a goal with that snipe. He isn't afraid to fight or use his body big need for team. I have a feeling we will seeing Sheary, Atkinson, and Chaffee out of the line up for him this year. Maybe he can be our next Hagel, but it is too early to tell.

I think he gets sent down when we are fully healthy. Big potential but he's not out performing Chaffee or Atkinson....yet. Let him go down and dominate the AHL for a bit.

Either that, or JBB needs to suck it up and waive Sheary. What I don't wanna see is Geekie healthy scratched.

I think he's gonna spend most of the year with the Crunch.

1st NHL point

[Tampa22]

Finally had his chance to prove something more in a scoring line with better players. Too hard show what you has playing in 3rd or 4th lines and the coach must be ready for that, happen before and we lost some key players for nothing...

Coop on moving Geekie to the wing with Hagel and Cirelli in the top 6:

"First of all he's shown us some signs (he could do it), especially in training camp. We had him playing in the middle, which he is natural, but I think especially coming into this league it's ok to jump over to wing. It can be a little bit of an easier assignment than the demands of having to play center, and he's playing with two pretty good players. He's a really good player himself. He's just not an experienced player. It was just one game, but he'll be with those guys again tonight, but with each game too he's getting more confident. But maybe helping him take a little less responsibility away from him putting him on the wing is helping him."

 

[Hockeyville USA]

Can't wait for him to get his first NHL goal and really breakout. Starting to look more and more confident

 

[Stammertime91]

It's weird seeing a #14 jersey capable of skating fast after the Maroon era. (Sorry Pat)

He's definitely a 20/20 guy in the future and a welcomed, big body in the lineup. I like the guy. Really hoping he stays hungry.

Is it crazy to say, since he's moved up to the 2nd line, that he's been more noticeable than Guentzel? Seems like every game he's driving plays, getting good scoring chances or setting them up. I'm really impressed with him - and a little underwhelmed by Guentzel thus far, but sometimes it takes guys half a season or more to click with a new team (Hagel, for instance).

Going to say no, it's been 2 games and there's obviously selective bias towards tonight's game, Jake was clearly more noticeable last or game or did you miss the period where he had 8 shots on net? Little crazy to think Geekie was standing out more then Guentzel last game with 2 points and 9 shots on goal.....
