He'll be playing AGAINST us now as a rival. Doesn't give a s*** about us anymore. Moved on. Sayonara. Adios. Doesn't need our support or hate. Could care less about it. Has a new fanbase in the Blackhawks now. Which is why I'm gonna yell GO BACK TO YOUTUBE at my TV whenever he's on. Youtube? More like Booootube. I can keep going.

Tomas Jurco is in fact a youtube star, who can do fun tricks on camera, but doesnt seem to know how to even toe drag in real life. At least not at the NHL level. He doesnt even try. He absolutely does know how to toe drag, and we would have probably seen it a lot more in Detroit, if he wasn't told by his coach(es), to keep it simple, dump and chase, make the "safe play"... He had unbelievable mitts in junior and in the AHL... What do you think he just forgot how to play? Nope, he was told to not play his skill game and play a "heavy / grinding" game... 8 minutes ago, kickazz said: Guys (both pro and anti Jurco) Jurco is not a Red Wing anymore. He's gone. For good.

Why does it matter if he's a Wing or not? We have a trade deadline thread and we have two threads dedicated to one trade that affects the Red Wings in no way.

I have a hard time believing any coach would tell a player NOT to out stick handle an opponent. I dont think he forgot. I dont think hes good enough to pull it off at the NHL level.

I'll admit to some speculation on my part there, but when he comes into the league and makes plays in his first year, then plays with grinders on the 4th line ever since, something happened... I highly doubt he was ever told " don't out stick handle opponents" (whatever that means...), but I do believe 100% he was told to "keep it simple", "be hard on the forcheck", "grind the play down low", or whatever else. Again, no source, but do you honestly think those types of things weren't stressed to our no skill 4th liners?... Anyway, I'm done with this. We'll see how he does in Chicago. 1 nyqvististhefuture reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PavelValerievichDatsyuk 1,935 Report post Posted March 12, 2017 He is slightly badmouthing the team and the city it seems: "There's so much stuff to do," Jurco said. "In Detroit, we were so bored, my girlfriend and I, we didn't know what to do. ... There wasn't much to do. Here there's so much stuff to do." "The biggest difference is that here we're told to make plays instead of just making safe plays and chipping it in and playing safely," Jurco said. "Here you actually should create something if you want to stick in this lineup because there's so many creative players." "I played that third-, fourth-line role so it's in me now," Jurco said. "I have that bad habit sometimes to play safe and chip it in. When I played juniors (and) in the AHL, I was a creative player, so it takes a little while for me." http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/hockey/blackhawks/ct-tomas-jurko-adjustments-blackhawks-spt-0312-20170311-story.html 1 Hockeymom1960 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We don't see anything behind the scenes but you can tell a lot about someone's character through even with one or two interview statements. Very unprofessional of Jurco imo to bad talk the city that way. Well with the healthy scratch him and his girlfriend probably had plenty of time to hang out in Chicago.

kickazz 5,459 Report post Posted March 13, 2017 (edited) What the Blackhawks fans are saying about Tomas Jurco on HFboards "Jurco is horrible. I want hartman hino hossa. A line that clearly proved it could produce together. " " Haven't been impressed with Jurco to this point. If the he needs 10 games to be eligible for the draft is correct I'd let him get that in. " " Yeah Jurco has been pretty bleh. He's shown some decent flashes like when he set up Kero for a partial break last night but in between that is a whole lot of nothing." "I have stated from game 2 Juro, or whatever his name is (Jurco), sucks. Period. End of story. I mean he can't play on a bad DET team, he isn't good at hockey. I would take Hino 11 out of 10 times ahead of him." "Jurco has shown zilch. Hino at least brings something to the table. " "Times running short for Jurco."

Wings_Toledo 233 Report post Posted March 13, 2017 I just wonder how much longer his NHL career can last since his "potential" is really starting to prove to be nothing special. Nice that the Wings got a 3rd for him. That may end up being a steal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
