bringbackfontez 36 Report post Posted December 20, 2016 What's the word on this cat? Shot blocker? Penalty killer? Green's defensive scoring replacement? Sounds like MG's out until at least Buffalo. Is it realistic to expect him to make any sort of immediate impact?Sent from my SM-G935P using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kliq 3,763 Report post Posted December 21, 2016 (edited) Well that was an interesting debut. Took out Bishop with a shot, took out Howard with what looks to be a very bad injury, then got an assist. Not many guys can say they did that. Edited December 21, 2016 by kliq 1 frankgrimes reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bringbackfontez 36 Report post Posted January 25, 2017 About a month's worth in the league now and all I can say is that I'm impressed. "Beginner's luck"? Only D-Man I'm not fearful of controlling the puck in the defensive zone. Not much of an offensive threat at all but who cares, he does his job and does it well.

Sent from my SM-G935P using Tapatalk It's kind of strange he wasn't called up sooner than now. He's been doing well in our system for a while and won awards at lower levels.

Not to mention being the best defenseman (better than Ouellet, Sproul, Marchenko) in preseason a couple years ago. I've always been high on Jensen, not high as in top pair potential, but definitely an NHL player. Great skater, and puck mover, and seems to be very good in all three zones. 2 PavelValerievichDatsyuk and NotTooAbby reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pretty much the same here. Was going to be disappointed when they let him walk without a new contract or shot at the NHL. Honestly thought that was going to happen with Ouellet, Sproul, Marchenko, and Russo leap frogging him for some reason I don't understand. 1 krsmith17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
