Skated into the zone 1 on 1.. then with one move deked out the defenceman AND the goalie![]()
Not to take anything away from Puljujärvi's effort but the d-man he got past was Atte Mäkinen and many Tappara fans consider him not ready for the Liiga, yet he gets to play every night.Greasy goal. That poor defenseman is going to be up all night thinking about getting walked that bad
Well, I mean, with that hockey IQ it will be hard for him to....So is everyone back on the JP bandwagon now and will stop saying he will fall out of the top 10. The skill he has at his size is legit and hard to find in a 17yo.

Why would he fall out of top10? Admittedly I don't know what qualities NA scouts look for in kids and if he's top10 material but so far we have seen that he has speed, size and offensive instincts on a level rarely seen in 17-yolds. As for his overall performance, the system of Kärpät and coach Marjamäki is extremely defensive and it's clear he is not used to being so restricted in his offensive play. He still has to think about positioning, when to go for it offensively and when to pull back. Quite a few players have failed in this system so it's no surprise that he needs to work on it. I expect him to adjust as the season progresses and get better and better.
He is playing great atm. Finally showing his potential.
That goal reminds me so much of Ovechkin..
Suddenly he looks like a completely different player than few weeks ago. What the hell.

Well he scored but his goal was disallowed because of a kick. I don't think he kicked it in but screw the refs. But maybe you can think that it was kicked in as you can make argument about that.
Yeah no way that was a kick
