Small sample size but he’s been amazing. 3.5 is an absolute steal.

Really good signing. He hit a home run here and the stolarz and tanev ones to

While I tend to agree this reeks of famous last words

I've always found it interesting how Vancouver fans raked both Ekman-Larsson and Juolevi over the coals for their skating. I didn't notice it as a problem for either at all. And sounds like it isn't an issue for OEL in Toronto now at age 33.

If that was considered an issue in Vancouver that's just not true.

He's playing the best hockey of his career under Berube

Doubt he is playing better than when the first few years in Phoenix.

Happy he is playing well again.

his issue in Vancouver was decision making and inconsistent effort. Once he gave up under the media scrutiny, then his "try" sagged and skating fell apart.

Take it for what it’s worth but Frankie corrado. Said he was playing through a major injury in van and he needed some Intensive specialist (he names him) to fix him on the leafs report this week. Apparently he was playing pretty hurt and recovered
