My buddy had also never actually watched a JG game so totally basing his potential on the kids size.
I told him at the beginning of the tournament that this was JG's opportunity to show the world what a prospect he really is and how size will not hold him back from being an NHL regular. He laughed and said yes, we will see how against bigger and better competition how he will be simply average in the tournament.
Well....
Needless to say, i have thoroughly enjoyed showing my buddy the stat lines and some Jonny Hockey highlites of his 7 and tournament leading goals over and over and over again.

Could be an even better stat line if they took grimaldi off that line sooner. he's also had a few posts and near misses too.
