Jujhar Khaira

[WestCoastFinnie]

I thought Canadian South Asians loved hockey. WHy haven't they been able to produce NHL level talent?

Sometimes too expensive for the parents. Basketball and soccer much better options for them.

 

[Betelgeuse]

Has squandered an immense opportunity to become an NHLer.

 

[Betelgeuse]

It seems like they do.

It's just that they only make up 4% of the Canadian population, and I would wager about half of that number is first generation immigrants.

I think it takes time to get the hockey culture established enough to the point that Indian parents are putting their kids in elite hockey programs from a young age.

PS. Khaira has never had any offence to his game going back to college/juniors.

Coaches just like him.

Great display of critical thought.

Looks like my unintentional jinx thread worked, got another goal today

the previous one worked for RNH, this one for Jujhar. Who’s the next thread going to be on!

send some love for Loui Eriksson (just kidding, nothing can fix that)

 

[sportsdynasty]

Got 2 goals now today. Start another thread about an Oiler please.

 

[Sempiternal]

He has no creativity with the puck. Just a big body who is okay defensively, can grind the puck along the boards offensively and then takes the odd slow lazy arse penalty.

Hopefully this post is a jinx and he improves.

My jinx post worked?.?. 2 Goals vs Stars

Wow... This is just freaky. What are the odds of a bottom six player having a breakout like this after someone posts a thread like this.

The HF Boards main board reverse jinx thread never fails. lol

Did Ben Bishop read this thread here and decide to gift Khaira two goals ? Maybe ? Hi Ben

 

[hockeyguru]

Kind of sad actually. Almost like being forced into a profession.

that's the life of an indian dude.

 

[Hatrix]

Seems to have an issue the last few seasons of being a slow starter literally needing a kick in the ass to get going. Maybe theres an issue with his off season work ethic? Either way, he's a frustrating player to watch in the early games each year.

 

[Coffey]

that's the life of an indian dude.

Don't forget being forced into a marriage too, depending on your caste and all that.
Obviously not for all Indians, but it happens.

You’d need a whole forum for that reverse jinx.

ripper for his goal today on a beast run thsnkd jinx thread

But I can't think of any South Asian basektaball players. You hear of some good high school prospects but they usually fizzle out.

Sim Bhullar played a few games in the NBA a couple years ago but your point stands.

Here in the lower mainland the South Asian community is predominantly into soccer and basketball. Canada is not known for soccer and basketball requires freakish genes which most South Asians aside from Sim Bhullar don't have.

Whenever I get down on Jujahr....I just think of Stortini. And suddenly things look better.

Has squandered an immense opportunity to become an NHLer.

Oops.

 

[McFlyingV]

Not sure what to say on this player anymore. He's been so inconsistent throughout his career. Shows flashes of offensive upside then goes into stretches where he looks completely offensively inept. Hopefully he can build off the last few games where he's looked really good and re-establish himself as a legitimate 3rd line option.

 

[Porkleaker]

lmao, so nice snipe by Jujhar last night, why not focus on that? And his 2 goals the game prior? lol jesus..............

Way to derail the thread with hockey talk.
