RW Jesse Puljujärvi - Karpat, FEL (2016 Draft)

[seadawg]

damn...more goals like that please!

That is exactly what he needs to do to impress the scouts and jump up the draft ranking.

 

[thomast]

This might boost his confidence sky high. Confident Jesse Puljujärvi is one really really good hockey player.

 

[Teukka]

Love it how the audio equipment circulates the sudden "PULJUJÄRVI" shout, creating this awesome echo effect that emphasizes the goal's awesomeness

 

[Leafidelity]

Greasy goal. That poor defenseman is going to be up all night thinking about getting walked that bad

 

[IamherefortheFinn]

Skated into the zone 1 on 1.. then with one move deked out the defenceman AND the goalie

This is a move that only someone like Aaltonen would try. And he scored at the end of it too!

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.

 

[teravaineSAROS]

This was his most important Liiga game so far (due to all the scouts and Laine rivalry) and hes showing signs of that he can step his game up and play well under pressure

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.

Well, I mean, with that hockey IQ it will be hard for him to....

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.

The amount of misunderstanding and getting defensive from the behalf of the Finnish posters is baffling.

He is playing great atm. Finally showing his potential.

Seems confidence is high atm

 

[GordieHoweHatTrick]

That goal reminds me so much of Ovechkin..

My thoughts exactly.

 

[JJTT]

Looks like they finally moved Puljujärvi to the point on the first PP unit.

 

[BusQuets]

He really is fast when he starts skating.

 

[JJTT]

Suddenly he looks like a completely different player than few weeks ago. What the hell.

 

[myrsky]

Absolutely. He's played his two best games of the season today and the day before yesterday. Looks like he's back in the game. And tonight was the first time he actually wanted to have the puck and didn't give it away instantly. He was craving for it.

It's weird really. Gotta give some props to Marjamäki for reacting to his performances and moving him to first line to play with quality players and putting him to his natural spot on pp.

Still it's weird because it seems like Marjamäki knew this was going to happen

 

[FinPanda]

Confident Jesse Puljujärvi is second best player in the draft.

 

[Loffer]

Didn't this kid play tonight? Where are all the fancy reports, Fanns (=Finnish fans of Finnish prospects)?

No fancy dekes? No top cheese snipes? No nothing? Was he sick or something?

 

[FinPanda]

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.
