Jordie in = loss. Jordie out = win. Yep, he's a curse.
Less of a curse and more just bad. No witchcraft necessary.
How Jokipakka played?
Got more ice time than Oleksiak so..
I really don't understand this. It's not that I'm against Jokipakka getting 13 minutes. In fact I'd prefer they both get 15 but is there some reason he got more ice time than Oleksiak? 8:30 minutes is quite frankly ridiculous. That's doing his development no favors and results in Daley/Goligoski getting over played. WTF Ruff?
Oleksiak is still the youngest D-man on that roster. Klingberg and Jokipakka have played in men's leagues in Europe. Dillon's been in the NHL for a few years.
I am 100% okay with Oleksiak playing limited minutes right now.
Fewest minutes is fine, 14 minutes is fine, 8 minutes is not.
He could use a few more shifts in place of Dillon or Daley, sure.
It'll come.
Oleksiak may have also been benched a bit after failing to cover his man on the PK goal against.
