I know it's not for everyone but I always liked playing my off-hand on D.

So many armchair folks ever so eager to throw Joker into a position he can't handle. What the frack is the rush?

 

[Kevin Musto]

I mean it's worth experiment. I don't really expect it to work that well but we'll see. I think the issue is the right side next year will be populated by Mitchell, Murphy and Seabs. So if the left side is Keith, Joki, Gus, that should be easier to manage.

What do you mean? The coach is throwing him into playing the left side.

He's experimenting in a season that doesn't matter. A development season. Nothing wrong with that, IMO.

i just hope he isn't paired with Kunitz lol.....

I don’t know, Bobby is apparently mad about something.

I’d just be upset if he got scratched, but I don’t mind the experiment

Isn’t everyone in this forum “arm-chairing” where the Blackhawks are concerned? Unless someone in here works for the club in any kind of hockey ops capacity that none of us knows about. Little redundant, but maybe that’s just me.

Yes, yes we all are. Not sure what the criticism is about.

IMO, it's a mistake. Let him get comfortable on his natural side in the NHL before moving him around.

 

[Hawkaholic]

I saw that too. The PP is better, and that's about it.

No surprise that you took my post literally. When I say a position Joker can't handle I mean he is 19 years old FFS - he needs to be nurtured and eased into the NHL. Q threw him to the wolves out of desperation and it was the wrong approach. Now folks want JC to do the same thing. That is, of course, my opinion. Understand now? Geeeesh.

What the hell is your problem? Why do you keep snapping on people here?

I ask because I’m usually interested in your opinion because you seem like a knowledgeable poster, and I didn’t understand what you were trying to say.

Also, feel free to air your grievances through PM if need be.

I apologize for Laz but he brings up JC's reluctance to have this many D on the roster, and that's without counting Forsling who is on IR.

All I saw was Joker playing with Seabrook and I wanted to vomit

 

[Toews2Bickell]

The move is finding a place for Davidson or Forsling. Rutta passed through waivers and they netted a pick anyway. Maybe Davidson nets a 5th or something.

Forsling will be out at least 10 games. Send him on a conditioning stint once he’s back and that gives JC a bit of time to see if theres something there with 4K. If yes then shop Forsling for a forward. If not then send 4k to Rockford and call up Forsling. Roster will be at 7D the entire time if they trade Davidson in that period.

Davidson got traded for a third last year I think? GMs are real dumb sometimes.

Just send Joker to the AHL, 12mins of ice time on his wrong side is a joke.

my question is, are the Bhawks doing Joker any favors by dicking around with him ???

Either this or play Joker in our Top 4. He needs to be getting top minutes to develop.

100% agreed. Joker is a 19-year old dman and we all know that defense is the hardest position to break in at. So in order to keep from scratching Seabrook and playing Davidson or breaking up the vaunted top 2 pairings, they decide to play Jokiharju on his off-side. If they want him to learn the left side, send him to the AHL and let him play 23 minutes a night.
