Lasse Kukkonen, the captain of Kärpät had a comment on Puljujärvi

"I've never seen anyone having a wrist shot like that. If I had his shot I'd always shoot from the red line"

:laugh:
 
That looks to me like a very weird (out-reached) position to get so much whip to the shot from. Liking it :yo:
 
He got benched in the third for no apparent reason. The first line hasn't produced much, perhaps it was Marjamäki's attempt to jump start their game.

Puljujärvi also played on the net front on PP, which is in my opinion is a waste of his talents. I'd like to see him on a different line and definitely in a different PP role. And I wish that he would slow his game down a bit, he is constantly rushing here and there and seems to want to get rid of the puck as soon as possible.

I doubt it has much to do with his "hockey IQ" (a term which I hate). I think he is just trying to be a good team player and is perhaps playing it too safe. I hope Marjamäki or someone in Kärpät has enough sense in him to speak about it to Puljujärvi. Or even Jukka Jalonen, who I believe referred to Puljujärvi as having "to improve his superstar play a little bit".

This sounds same is Babcock messed up with Tomas Jurco at last season.

Watched the game and Pulju looked really lost. After the benching, Mäenalanen was superb instantly when changed to net-front, but he has always been great on that job.

Let Jesse be like Laine is at Tappara. Plays with his strenghts.
 
who are his typical linemates? i keep getting confused with #8 guy as their black jersey numbers are super hard to tell with terrible quality....my eyes are just dying

#71 Ivan Huml and #47 Mika Niemi. #8 is Saku Mäenalanen.

Saw the game live and meh, he just doesn't have any chemistry with Huml which messes up the whole line. They need some faster guy like Junttila there.

I agree. Both Niemi and Huml, even though skilled, are kind of floaters out there. They don't match Jesse's style of play. Junttila might be just perfect for that first line because at the moment no one on that line can hold on to the puck in the offensive zone.

I also hope he gets used to battling with strong dmen because at the moment it seems like his balance and strength are not there yet.
 
We are witnessing a major **** up of a promising prospect, people. Thanks Kärpät, Marjamäki.. thank you.

Hell yeah! I always kept this Marjamäki dude in high regards what comes to competence but the guy seems to be out to lunch here.

What a ******** ******.

What they are doing in Kärpät:
- Developing players with a focus good all-around play-> Forget your strenghts, just become another twoway player in the mold of every finnish hockey player.
- Puljujärvi has used the term "Voittava jääkiekko" (Winning hockey) several times
- To me that stands for this erkkawesterlund 4offensive lines rotation hockey, with high energy, fast, aggressive-playing style. With zero room for individual skill.

Look, I understand that for Kärpät its most important to win games. They have very good team and will again go far. But it just isnt a place to be 17year old player apparently.

S. Aho definately seems to fit better because he is a villepeltonen-closen basically.

I've said this 1000 times but: Focus on your strenghts, not weaknesses. For Pulju that would mean:more skill, speed and goal scoring. Not defensive coverage, play without the puck, backchecking etc..

Thank you, I rest my case.

Let's see how Puljujärvi's develop continues.

If / when Finnish junior coaching has one big problem, it'll be that some coaches hasn't no clue how to develop individual skills.
By the way what'll be best for Puljujärvi, if his developing totally stops in Oulun Kärpät.

Let's not panic here. They have played only a few games and Pulju has already scored. It's not really the points that matter the most. If he scored 5 points the whole season he would still be as gifted and skilled player as he has been.
 
How has he looked compared to last year?

I agree with those regarding playing to his strengths. When you've got a 17 year old Kovalchuk-lite, you loosen the leash.

Well thats the main problem here. He has not progressed at all. He has been quite frankly very medicore in most of the games. I dont know, I'm very concerned with his play at the moment.

For Puljujärvi, we have to be critical. He is in talks to be the first Finnish #1 draft pick ever. You cannot play sluggishly during your draft year, its simple as that. If he was another 1-2 rounder I wouldnt be this eager to comment, **** happens with junior players. But for Pulju, he needs to start performing at least in few months in order to even be a top5 pick.

I agree. However, I think he should be put in a position to succeed rather than fail. I have the utmost faith in Marjamäki being a better coach than I am, but it would be very interesting to hear why he has played Pulju in a way that he has.

That's nothing but Finns' lack of patience. Not making much impact in the first 4 or so games automaticly drops you down the charts. But for him to fall down from top 3 means Laine entering top 3, which seems to be the case here. Pulju's had the slowest start from the "big 4" but he's as good as advertised still. The season barely started so who really even cares at this point. Having a Finn dropping another from top3 can't be that bad though when looking in the grand scheme of things, eh. :sarcasm:
