Puljujarvi is looking seriously gassed after playing just 14 games this season

[Mulletman]

I was watching some highlights from the latest Oilers game and was surprised to see how gassed Puljujarvi looked. Just take a look at the goal he scored against Blue Jackets:

McDavid was doing most of the heavy lifting on that play but Puljujarvi looked like he was running on fumes. Most times I've seen Puljujarvi he's been smiling and looking like he's full of energy but here he looked like a completely different player. It was like Puljujarvi had lost his smile. I wouldn't be so worried if this was game 79 for Puljujarvi but he's only played 14 games so far in the NHL this season. Does Puljujarvi have serious problems with his conditioning? Will he be able to hang with McDavid or should he be sent back to the AHL? Or is this just a case of being Finnish, as most Finnish players seem a bit slow and out of shape compared to most Canadians? I'm curious to see what Oilers fans and other's who follow the Pacific division more closely think of him. Does he have a serious problem with his conditioning or is he fit to play in the NHL even if he looked like 1998 Kurri during that play?

A Mulletman special.

Pulju has insane cardio and would have broken V02 records at the combine by all accounts had he not just had knee surgery.

Him and McDavid have been awesome together.

Yeah he doesn't look happy (maybe because it's like a 7-2 game) but he's standing up straight and not showing any elevated breathing level. In terms of looking 'gassed' he looks better than I do after a regular shift in beer league.

Cool analysis

what are u looking for ? We were murdering them, you don't celebrate the 6th goal in a 6-2 game, its just not done. They barely celebrated the next gaol where "gassed" Puljujarvi kept up with Mcdavid and passed to him for the 7th goal

you have an agenda and we aren't interested ok stick ur mullet in someone elses business

 

[Soliloquy of a Dogge]

He had just gone through an entire pizza on the bench before that shift. Give him a break.

Another garbage thread.

we need at least one of these threads a day--how much do you want to bet that if the oilers lose their next game we will get three threads like this

if Pulj had celebrated that goal he would sail at his disrespectful idiot its 6-2 and he's acting like he scored the game winner in the scf

 

[BB88]

That was like at the end of their shift, that was a strong shift by him.

I love this thread, and if more threads were like it this website would be vastly improved. And no im not being sarcastic.

classic Mulletman thread.

Blatantly obvious. The kid is playing very well, and clearly having a lot of fun.

 

[NeverForget06]

Well this is a creative one, I'll give you that

 

[weastern bias]

It was like Puljujarvi had lost his smile.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

Definantly a passenger player, perfect for McDavid. Would like to see the Oilers try a powerplay unit of Draisaitl-McDavid-Puljujarvi for one game.
