Was beautiful seeing RNH protecting Pulj! Just a naiv little boy with golden hands in a massive body.
With an attitude like that RNH is going to get himself his contract.

I remember seeing interviews with RNH about Jesse when he had left and it appeared that he was completely done with Edmonton.With an attitude like that RNH is going to get himself his contract.
Do we know why Roussel jumped him there?
Here's the hit. Certainly a head-shot from JP, but probably unintentional. Roussel's reaction seems understandable given this context. Somewhat surprised he was fined whereas JP was not.

Lol. Headshot?
He clearly made contact with Rousel's head, but trying to call that a head shot is pure fantasy island.
"Why are you doing this?"As a short person playing hockey, I've been "head shot" like this so many times, yet I don't go all crazy. Not my fault my head is in the danger area lol

pink shirt for Nuge because it's anti-bullying day
Puljujarvi makes hockey look like so much fun.I remember seeing interviews with RNH about Jesse when he had left and it appeared that he was completely done with Edmonton.
Nuge spoke about him for exactly what he was. A young kid in a foreign country who wasn't at all ready or equipped to handle the spotlight and pressure that was thrown onto him by terrible management and a rabid fanbase desperate for success.
Even through all the rumors of McDrai not really digging him, Nuge always spoke about him in a positive light. f***in love that kid, and Nuge too. Hope they both stick around for years.
Would be awesome to see a guy like Nuge, who was put on a pedestal to right a sinking ship with no real leadership, turn into a leader that is actually helping this franchise climb out of the bottomless pit.
Poetic justice?

Edit: I want to be clear, this is not my tweet, I don't consider the league a joke (in this regard) and I am not condoning Roussel's reaction. Merely pointing out that head contact was made and that is likely what set him off. My surprise in the fines is that the league has made a point of cracking down on head contact, so it seems like they would be more lenient with a player reacting to a perceived targeting of their head and not fine him the maximum amount without also fining the other player involved. It sends a mixed message.
