[crashthenet]

Am I crazy, or do a lot of the write ups make everyone sound like an all star?

why can't it be both?

The write-ups should come with a lottery like disclaimer - actual odds of making the NHL are...

No clicks without hype.

We’re past the point where we can expect journalism for journalism’s sake.

Since he is an Isles prospect, I don’t mind it at all. We all need some extra enthusiasm about our prospect pool.

If you think about it, Pulkkinen was the 54th player selected in a draft of ALL the hockey players in his birth year in the world. So yeah, anybody in that kind of select company is probably pretty good. Whether he takes the next step to the NHL is the "crapshoot" element of the equation.

The goal isn't accurate information, it's to generate interest.

I was speaking generally.

Yeah, I wasn't meaning to contradict what you said - I knew what you meant and don't disagree. Really just pointing out what I forget myself sometimes - anyone who's drafted is pretty good.

I'll double you up with a Cody Rosen.

For the record, I loved that pick.

Any word on his injury status? Got injured a little over a month ago.

Was wondering the same thing. Yet to play for JyP.

It's looking like he's going to be out for a while.

His Finnish team has advertised that he's back in the fold for the season but hasn't reported on when he'll be ready to play.

He did a chat-style interview with a few sports podcast guys that you can find on Spotify but there's no transcript of it.

I was worried that he had an ankle injury similar to what Wilde had a few years back, but it seems to be something else in light of the fact that he was skating with the team in August/September.

Pulkkinen played his first game of the season yesterday, after an injury. He was the 7th dman with 9+ minutes of ice time and wasn't involved in any goals for or against.

His team plays again today and Pulkkinen has been moved to the 3rd pairing. I'll follow him more closely and see if there's anything worth of reporting.
