I've never seen a player in Liiga be so lost and at the same time somehow get lucky points all the time, he's forrest gump of hockey.He still has insane problems holding the puck on his stick & receiving pucks

One thing JP needs to work on is his mental game AKA confidence. When he doesn’t score points, he gets down on himself too much and that results in poor play. It’s how Satan was in the NHLI went to the sauna and missed the end of the game so I didn't see Pulju's OT winning goal, but in many games Pulju has rather been unlucky with collecting points. Today he created some great chances again and the guys in the broadcast talked about Pulju being unlucky and showing some signs of frustration after he'd created so many chances with no results.
Not a great shot, but it turned the game to Kärpät on the OT.
This guy.. is one of the strangest players I have ever witnessed. It's like he has no sense of self whatsoever and every inch of his being comes from the way he performed on the ice 5 seconds ago. He's been having a tough time, not scoring points and he's really made sure everyone knows it through his gestures. Blinking his eyes like crazy, looking down etc... On the other hand, when he just scored the winning goal he was on cloud nine. Ever since his contract was announced his play changed and he's been avoiding injury, or so it seems. But he's also had a ton of chances and just couldn't convert. Maybe those two things are connected but it's still really weird to witness. It most certainly won't do well for his mindset for Edmonton, though I hope that's not the case. On the other hand, Finland has had multiple "NHL" loans this season and they've shown that it's not THAT easy to be a dominant player in the league. Someone like Arttu Ruotsalainen is dominating, while Jesperi Kotkaniemi is having a difficult time. I honestly can't tell what's going on with Jesse at this point. Did he suddenly start sucking or did the contract make him cautious.
I don't remember him moving that fast
I was half expecting him to explode into the corner after it batted off his stick.I don't remember him holding onto the puck that long without him losing the puck.
(I'm kidding, please don't attack me everyone)

The length of his stick reminds of a tightrope act, any shorter and he’d probably fall on his face.Somewhat related but... is it just me or could a lot of his puck handling problems be solved with a shorter stick? I think it's been mentioned before but sometimes I watch him and think his stick is about a foot too long.

1. Bad reception of the pass
2. Lucky shot
3. Forest Gump
You don't get it...1. Awareness of open space for feed
2. Got control of puck
3. Hard, well placed shot on goalies weak side.
4. Goal
Who's correct?

Not true. Satan was in the NHL because of a deal with God.One thing JP needs to work on is his mental game AKA confidence. When he doesn’t score points, he gets down on himself too much and that results in poor play. It’s how Satan was in the NHL
Can't believe the devils didn't sign him for PRNot true. Satan was in the NHL because of a deal with God.
I've never understood the practice of restricting the like button. The only one it's hurting right now is youI was half expecting him to explode into the corner after it batted off his stick.
Imagine the taunting opportunities possible if your opponent is ASS.
Kind of like Calgary Flames to me..
