[kthx]

There's only one correct answer and that is plain dumb.

 

[mattihp]

Not at all ok when your rights is with another organisation. Are there other players who have been this dumb earlier? I don't think so.

 

[FoxyClean]

Unless he's somehow linked to them already, he's a f***ing moron.

 

[Necrobutcher]

I'd say both. Actually that's a pretty accurate description of his whole personality. Dumb but harmless.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Not the brightest knife in the shed.

 

[JoVel]

That face sure screams intelligence.

 

[Llamamoto]

The funny thing is that he's wearing an Oilers hat as well.

 

[ConnorMcMullet]

f***in close yer mouth Pennywise.

 

[TheDawnOfANewTage]

Pennywise eyes his next victim.

 

[Leaf Fans]

Maybe he is a penguins fan.

 

[Mickey Marner]

You can tell by the stupid look he has on his face at all times that there's no brain activity going on in his head. He'd be a sossupummi if he weren't good at hockey.

Him just having fun

Doesn't matter. When your rights are owned by another team you need to respect it.

There have been players who grew up huge fans of the rival team that they played for. I bet there have been lots of Oilers fans who played close to their entire career with the Flames. You wouldn't see them wearing Oilers gear during their career. There have been huge leafs fans who played most of their career with the Habs and vice versa. They respected the teams they played with too much to do something this stupid.

IMO that's literally it. Nothing less, nothing more. But still weird seeing him in Pens gear.

Maybe he bought it before he was Oilers prospect?

 

[LaMasquerade]

Haters gonna hate..

F that. Pulju hasn't signed into NHL nor any team within it. He can stroll the streets of Oulu with zero shits given on how some sports teams conspire between themselves to give each others exclusive privilege to sign his services. Pulju himself hasn't given his rights to any NHL team since 1.7.2019.

Likewise he can wear Minsk Dynamo gear regardless of if Nitzny Novgorod presume to have his KHL rights.

 

[Lempo]

I mean, their 3OA is opting go play in freaking Oulu rather than Oilers. Methinks Oilers has bigger issue there than what hoodie he's wearing.

You might not see them. Besides, he is a free agent whose rights are being held.

 

[Arselona]

To be fair it looks he might be wearing an Oilers woolly hat. Of course it could be New York Knicks as well. Which would be blatantly disrespectful against the whole NHL, Pulju suddenly wanting to be a basketball player.

 

[63 others]

This guy's an idiot

 

[Roshi]

Not sure how to think about this.

Its harmless and I dont think for a second he has any ill wish for that Picture. Obviously your loyalty lies for your team, and not the Jersey.

But if a Caps player wore another NHL teams gear like this I would not be happy with it, even though everyone knows lot of these guys have childhood favourite teams elsewhere. Its not a big thing, but its just a little disrespectful towards the passionate fanbase.

Jesse obviously doesnt mean it to be disrespectful but it Still is. Especially since he has not made it easy for the Oilers fans earlier either.

And its another Small red flag for any NHL team looking the options of taking "a risk" with him.
