Guessing doesn’t help you know if he’s learning or how hard he is trying to learn. Listening to interviews from Finland where he says he worked very hard on it in the offseason and everyday it’s getting better will help you know.

yeah, pretty sure he means:
There is no way to know; you can only guess. As in, like, no one knows. Don't think he's saying guessing is the conduit to knowing.

i didnt' see that
by my eye he's just gotten worse with the added pressure
some people have mentioned he has started screening.....whoop dee f***in doo.
his confidence looks gone.......he fumbles pucks....skates weird....doesn't have any chemistry with his line......doesn't forecheck physically......his board play has actually gotten worse from what i've seen......this is worse than yakupov.
I'm not sure another team would trade a player that is better on the hope that he improves.....because he hasn't improved.

Man, he really needs to get some attitude. Going in each shift with an attempt to get one of the enemies into hospital, so to speak. Shove any opponent closer than arms length away down to the ground. Cover the goalie in ice. Keep on poking with the stick until the ref blows the whistle. Punch TMac if needed. Get aggressive and show them who's the boss.
Such a terrible post in so many ways.

When Edmonton Journal has something positive, it’s always referenced.
When Edmonton Journal mentions something negative, it’s gotta be ignored.

Good teammates should take him under their wing. We have enough European players on the team that he should be well looked after in the room IMO. Klef, Larsson, Koskinen, Rieder and Drai should be helping to make him feel at home as should his NA born teammates.

Seems like it unfortunately. Until recently not many of the Oilers were even following him back on Instagram, I checked this summer! (Big deal for this generation)
I mean if Caggiula keeps looking like last night Caggiula then that's a great idea lol

He has looked outstanding all year.
Both goals last night, the last 2 years he would of fired them into about the 30th row, he's playing with lots of confidence.
His hard work is paying off.
It's something I hope Pulju can learn from too. Caggiula even in his terrible games worked his ass off. Good days, bad days he would go out and do his all. Didn't always work for him, would make mistakes miss his shots etc, but every night Caggiula would try and do somrthing positive for his team.
Puljujarvi should take a note. And I think Todd would love it to. He has tons of skills but sometimes he can't put it together but if he puts in a hard effort every night, the points will come and the coaches will love him for it.
I actually agree with a lot of it. Jesse's body language is showing a guy with little to no confidence. The awkward kid that we didn't see at all in the preseason was back on full display in Chicago. I don't think this kid is worse than Yakupov in any way. His attention to detail is miles ahead of where Nail's was. But he looks like Bambi out there when the puck is on his stick. For a guy who was slated to go top three in his draft year, that shit is mind-boggling.
People acting like he’s Alex Plante out there really need to pay more attention.
I’m not surprised he looked a bit tentative and lacking confidence after being a HS for 4 straight games. He knows that if he screws up at all he’s out of the lineup again. He has zero margin for error.
He needed to bury that Strome feed. I don't blame him for looking crestfallen.
That whole line needs to get off the schneid.
Strome needed to bury one of the three great chances that Puljujarvi set him up for in the first half of the game. A nice primary assist or two would have helped as well.
