I was surprised by that wrister, I don't recall him having such a fast and effortless release back in Liiga, just a really hard slapper!
Good to know, have a lot of hope for Jesse!

His shot is right there with Matthews as one of the top shots in 2016 draft, in my opinion. The only lacking part in his shot is the accuracy and poise in it.
I mean, there have been times when he gets a real good scoring chance and he either misses it wide or just randomly fans on the puck. Puljujärvi also has a deadly onetimer WHEN he actually hits the puck.
But if he finds that poise to his shooting, I have no doubt why he couldn't crack 30-40 goals on McDavid's side.
Yeah and that was pretty much a mediocre game for him considering what he managed to perform in his first 3 games in AHL.I saw him play live on Monday night in San Jose. He was easily the best player on the ice for Bakersfield. And was even more impressive when you consider that, and I feel like I'm being generous here, the rest of the Condors lineup looked like/played like complete garbage that game.
The shot he unleashed for his goal was stupid good. Goalie never had a chance.
Laleggia was a D before this. I wouldnt call him chopped liver. Struggled in the AL last year but in NCAA he was one of highest scoring D in that league. Won almost all the major awards in his conference. As a forward in AL hes put up good numbers in the short time hes been there
Him, Drai, and Mcdavid are going to be hella good for the Oilers. Rebuild 2.0 was a big success (not so much on the first one eh)

sadly Hall/RNH/Yak wasn't even the first "Rebuild"
(Gagner,Cogs,Nilsson)
3rd times the charm?

The enormous Draisaitl talk is bit stupid given how Draisaitl in comparison was moving like a tanker ship while Puljujärvi at least should be physically ready given that he has been a professional ice hockey player since the age of 15 with large ice surface ice ball background. Those factors should work in your favour early on.
Funny you say that because Draisaitl won the Oilers fastest skater in the skills competition as a rookie beating Taylor Hall.
Congratulations? Puljujärvi won over Laine in a shooting competition. Guess who scored the next 50 important goals.
Wasn't that at the Finnish WJC camp? Didn't Pulju end up with 17 points in 7 games leading the tournament in points and was named the MVP of the tournament following that?
With how many goals in the play-off stage did Puljujärvi contribute with? 0? Finland scored 12 in 3 games. Aho had couple. Laine three.
He had 5 assists in the playoff rounds though? Is that not contributing?
Getting top line ice time is just what he needs. Leave him down there and call him back up for a playoff run later.
Laine and Aho have managed to score 32 NHL goals without Puljujärvi and meidän peli which Finland played masterfully in that tournament, as we well know. Puljujärvi has one in the NHL despite playing with NHL point leader.... I think those numbers say more than Corsi.

It's going to be fun to watch McDavid-Pulju play against Columbus.
Honestly, what do you have against JP? Every single post I see from you is just you going out of your way to bash himTeam Blue:
Arcobello (14.949)
Draisaitl (14.537)
Hall (14.617)
Team White:
Pitlick (14.772)
Klefbom (14.583)
Pinizzotto (15.035)

Two losses so far, 0+0 for each and hell of a good time watching?
Thanks for the reviews you've been giving us in HFOil BB, from the games I've seen I thought Pulju was the best player on the ice. He's really looked good since being down in the AHL, could easily have 3-5 more points. A couple posts and some beauty setups his line mates have been robbed on.
I'm really happy with his progress and him making the most of the situation rather than sulking or feeling sorry for himself. Shows character and mental toughness to battle hard through adversity, a couple months down there will do wonders long-term.
When does the Condors have the next game?
I like Puljus attitude in the AHL, easy to see he wants to be the difference maker.
Yeah, i don't know if it's just me but i think Pulju has some problems with his coordination. He's a kid with long limbs and i think he grew in spurts in the last couple of years.
Just the consistency part more so, he knows how to do all the things he wants to do, but sometimes when he's having a bad game he can't get his timing right at all, not just in his shot but also in his stickhandling etc.
It's just pretty amazing how good the kid is being this raw. If he ever puts it all together he's going to be better than Taylor Hall in my opinion.
