Better than stajan or bouma on our 4th line. Those two must incriminating photos of gg for freddy hamilton to be riding pine when they contribute nothing.
Jooris isn't better than Stajan this year, and he wasn't last year either.

My favourite Jooris memory is Dec. 31, 2014 when he scored the overtime game winner on the Oilers. The atmosphere at the Saddledome was incredible that night. I thought the roof might explode after he scored. Fun way to spend New Years Eve.

Jooris was getting some PT on overtime that year based on highlights. Hoping he's not finished yet.
Was at the game in Columbus when he scored his first NHL goal in his second game. My son still brings up the nice ovation the blue jackets fans gave him for that goal.
like exposing Byron (a guy i wasn't admitted not overly excited about previously) to waivers instead of one of our aging goalies last year... there were other younger goalies that were exposed and didn't get a sniff... no reason to think that a guy like Hillier or Ramo was going to get tabbed at their salary and ages...
so, it comes and goes... but I like BT and his hits outweigh his misses by quite a bit...
Jooris had an injury in preseason, it looks like he was just never able to get healthy. His analytics are brutal, which is unusual for him. Can't see anyone claiming him as analytics were his whole selling point.
I think the wrist injuries torpedoed him in Calgary.

I love that Byron is known as Paulstar in Montreal.

I recall Huska mentioning that Hathaway is a lot like Jooris, except he has no stop button and plays like that 100% of the time. That's what I've been seeing so far and I think Hathaway will play with high intensity as long as his body lets him.
I would agree. I was never a big fan of Jooris, though I admired his work ethic and the means by which he shoved his way into the NHL out of nowhere. Something about those flailing arms of his...he was a big time arm flailer. His calories expended to results achieved ratio always seemed very high.
I like Hathaway's game a bit more. As mentioned, he doesn't seem to switch off at any point, and brings a tougher and more physical edge to his game than Jooris did.
Treliving continues to look like a genius by not overpaying Colborne or re-signing Jooris.
Jooris was never the same player after the novelty of being in the NHL wore off for him. His speed and tenacious play disappeared once he became established.
TIL Colborne has 1 assist since his first game hatty.
I think Jooris is one of those players that plays his best hockey when he is called up from the minors. The Rangers will probably get 5-10 games of good play from him when they call him up later this year.

Yeah, I'm a huge Jooris fan, but thats part of being a pro, you have to bring it. Every night. Not just when your ass is hanging over the raggedy edge.
