He was awesome last year for CBJ! He seems like the perfect team guy, wherever he goes something magical happens. Reminds me a lot of Vinny Prospal in that regard.
Hes had a handful of highlight reel assists as well. Guys on absolute 🔥 right now
Yzerman got blasted in the off-season: you didn’t do enough! JVR & Gibson = 👏
Great breakdown, boys.
Not sure why everyone has been sleeping on JVR!? Dude is elite.
JVR is the embodiment of "good things happen when you go to the net."
JVR has been amazing in Detroit this year 🌟 🌟 🌟
I miss doc
Awesome veteran presence
JVR FTW 🙌🏽
Was hoping he’d be able to carry over his production from last year with Columbus. He hasn’t disappointed. JVR is the man.
Always have liked JVR, and having him out with Kane is magic. Don't underestimate the effect they have on Raymond and the rookies, they are building a power house in Hockeytown!
Exceeding his expectations here in Detroit. However, he is still -9 on the season for us.
He hasn't turned back any clock. He's got 22 points in 41 games and is -9. This despite the most generous possible usage and deployments, and on a now 2 month hot streak. And that's still his numbers despite all that. He was just put on top line for all of maybe 4 periods and he failed miserably and they already seem to have abandoned it for Kasper. He's a statue who has nice hands around the net but nothing else and the power play has basically fallen into a drought w him absurdly given Kane's spot, bc the coach has a personal vendetta against Kane.
LETS GO REDWINGS!!!!
I love how everyone shit on Yzerman for picking him and Gibby up in the off season. Its all crickets now lol
All I know is that last goal was sick!!
Reminds me of the Wings teams around 2000. They had players at the end of their careers with specific talents that made the team better. This is hopefully the year the Wings break out and make the playoffs. It's been a long road to rebuild.
Best net presence since Thomas Holmstrom.
JVR needs to give Detroit's giants some lessons in playing in front of the net.
