Is this believable enough for anyone to fall for?

He looked like paul coffee compared too power.

On pace for + 164 🤫

Jokiharju is second last among defenseman in his CF% after 2 games. He's not helping Power at all. A larger sample is required, and I suspect Power will rise and Joker will stagnate.

He's 5th worst overall. tage, mitts and VO also getting the smackdown, whereas tage plays against top comp and the other two do not.

Interesting that joker needs to go.....

He's a +4 on the season.

Looked good thru 2 games IMO.

Good enough to pair with dahlin ☝️

- Boss34


He looked horrible game 1, Game 2 he left Comrie out to dry a minute into the game, didnt take either guy on the 2 on 1 just stayed in between leaving the pass open and making Comrie have to make another nice save, SNOWED Comrie on the 4th goal causing him to lose the puck and didnt pick up the Florida player forechecking in leaving him wide open to just tap it in.

Oh but he made a simple outlet pass to Tuch for a goal so he must of played great

Joker is a terrible +4 thru 2 games.

Bench him 😀


But, pair him with dahlin first ☝️

I dont particularly like joker, like most on the board.

Tough to call him out vs other guys like power.
But that's dirty d for ya...

Is it that difficult to read my opinion and respond with out being a dueshe?

Maybe im wrong but Dahlin got a lot better when Joker wasnt with him.... now Power is with him.... sooo maybe it is a joker issue?

Reaching for what?

Power has been terrible, although only playing 10 nhl games.

Joker has a +4 , much better than power.
Nice pass to tuch.

Power will be better, but thru 2 games, it's not close kid

Watch the Panther game again... Joker played horrendous. Caused 2 glorious chances where Comrie made 2 nice saves. Cause the 4th goal. But yeah he was on when Dahlin made a nice play and the pass to Tuch... a tyke player could make... There wasnt anyone around him

I can almost guarantee your knowledge of defense is very basic

Power back with Jokiharju?

Asplund from supposedly going to the AHL soon to being promoted to Center Mittelstadt and Olofsson?

Quinn demoted.

Hinostroza in and Krebs out?

We were told not to read too much into the lines, that it's just tinkering. That said...

Little harsh. You know my opinion on Joker and I don't think you actually believe he's played well so far. If you weren't just fishing there, my radar is off today.

He certainly wasn't the problem of the Joker - Power pairing. Remains to be seen if he can pair with Dahlin. I've never been as down on him as most. He can certainly be upgraded, but I've not seen him kill us the way some have.

Saw another tweet that listed Mitts as C on that line. Not sure, but I lean towards that version.

That version was a solid line last season for over a month. That's got my vote.
