?? We are talking about a 2/3 line winger right...not the whole team?Then why is he getting outshot, outchanced, and outscored every night?

I mean it took three games, that's not that long really. And from the sounds of it, it was the players that wanted Pulju to play with Strome.
If he goes back to the original lines for the opener, then I'll be annoyed.
Yep only took two seasons and 10 games this year...
Meh, he played with McDavid and Nuge a fair amount last season, and Draisaitl played most of the year on the top line. I don't remember too many people calling for that combo until this season.
Who on the team who isn’t Mcdavid or his linemates isn’t?Then why is he getting outshot, outchanced, and outscored every night?
Can we break our penalty kill record for last year under Todd?
The PP and the PK both look pretty poor still.
Letting McDavid skate his way to a goal isn't a real PP set up.

This is the first season Jesse looked ready to make an honest push into the top 6, his first season he simply wasn't NHL quality (he wasn't even a particularly good AHL player for that matter), his second season he battled inconsistency the entire time, I don't even know if he was a capable 3rd line winger on the whole.Yep only took two seasons and 10 games this year...

Time and time again people ***** about playing a young skilled player more, whether that's Gagner, Yakupov, or heck even Schremp all these fanboys just want skill to play with no discernible eye for the quality of the player or an ability to discern what level their play/game is presently at or honestly assess the weaknesses in their game. Jesse hasn't been hard done by aside from PP time, he's got more than he has deserved at every point in his NHL career, up until this season which we are only 4 games into BTW.

I happened to have these ready so a bit of stats to hopefully back my view about Puljujarvi being an NHL caliber player for quite a while in his 1st season and making a top6 push at the first weeks of his 2nd season:
Dec 9 2016:
Stats/60 minutes:
Assists/60: 2nd (in the team)
Primary/1st assists/60: 1st
(* was the 1st in the NHL in this one after the season)
Points/60: 3rd
Corsi/60: 4th
(no success with scoring goals so bad in that one)
Total stats:
Assists: 4th (tied with Nuge)
Primary assists: 2nd
+-: 4th
December 2017:
Goals/60: 1st
+-: 1st (at some point dropped to 3rd)
Combined corsi: 1st
Even strength scoring chances: 2nd
Edmonton Journal player grade average: 1st (while he had been up)
Now I'll quit this here. I don't mean to be annoying, but couldn't resist sorry.
Thanks for posting this. Just shows exactly how stupid people are who claim that he has gotten more than he deserves for his entire career. It’s plain to see that Jesse got the shaft hard from McLellan last season after December.
That's how our minds often work if there's no reminders. The problem is there is no stats/right and wrongs for matter of taste, so no matter what the stats look like someone can always be adamant with his view. I'm not always right, either, but in this case the stats should be clear enough to make one rethink some of the harshest opinions.
