He looks more fit and faster, but ineffective.

 

[Safarite]

Please stop

 

[BrendanGallagher11]

Which country does he play for?

This seems very premature based on a small sample size and considering the way these two games went.

A very obvious "hate the Leafs" agenda type post and even though I too hate the Leafs I have a bit more class and tact then attempting such brazen troll attempts. Hopefully the mods shut this unnecessary/baseless thread down quick.

EDIT: aaand he got an assist.

By playing him with Matthews.

 

[ForSpareParts*]

Just got an assist.

OP is a Leafs fan, or at least he posts on the Leafs board a lot.

Not like team USA as a whole has looked good.

There are plenty of Leafs "fans" who have an agenda to hate the Leafs if that's what you were responding to. My main point remains that the claim is pretty baseless when looking at the big picture of how the team has done and considering JVR has 1 (primary) assist now in those two games that's better than a lot of his teammates anyways.

 

[ForSpareParts*]

It's a proper eye test question.

What did you see in his game?

 

[IAmBobo]

JVR was easily the best player on Team USA

 

[TimeZone]

The entire American team looks terrible.

 

[EveryDay]

All the Americains forwards were truly bad in the last 2 games......

 

[AvroArrow]

The entire team looked pretty bad i'm not too worried about JVR though. He'll likely be playing with Matthews which should only increase his value

 

[Givememoneyback]

He had a point tonight and would have had a point on the waved off goal against Team Europe. Without arguing with the refs call on the latter, that he was noticeable at all offensively says a lot compared to the other forwards.

Oh?

Could be a possible pairing on the Leafs and future USA hockey. JVR is still relatively young.

 

[alg363636]

Yes.

Him along with every single other US player. Not sure why you're singling him out.

Yes.

It's important to see who might be suited with Matthews and other top line forwards for the leafs and for USA honkey.

 

[scan15*]

Yeah. He's been bad. I hope it's just Tortorella's coaching and rust from not playing for a long time.

But I don't really think that Toronto is interested in trading JVR. He has an NTC now too, so it makes it harder to get full value for him.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

He fit right in. I thought he looked good the first exhibition game and was pretty much a no show after that which did not surprise me

 

[Fugu]

Is there a reason this wasn't in the GDT?
