The Jordie part was a joke guy.
Definately to each there own, the guy you say has been playing crappy lately, I think is usually one of the better players on the team for the most part, at least on the backend, last night excluded.
Then again, I'm not sure why were are arguing about it when they were both bad. Klingberg has earned his spot however, Jok usuallyi doesn't look better than Oleksiak but gets more pt and not usually punished for his blunders. Maybe your right and I'm just biased because it rubs me the wrong way.
If you like Klingberg more than fine, it can rub you the wrong way. Not going to try and stop your support of the guy. But I can get the same way too. I played C and LD at a high level from squirt hockey all the way to midget, also assistant coached for 2 seasons. Take from that what you will. My opinion on the two is that Jokipakka has just as much to be desired as Klingberg, but in a different aspect of the game. His backwards crossovers on both sides are excellent and his skating overall is really impressive. Pair that with his ability to play the body and keep his head on a swivel I think make him better defensively.
Klingberg is better with the puck no doubt, and especially in the offensive zone. But Jyrki plays actual D and thats something I really like about his game. Makes it easier for us to deal with losing Nemeth.
