Guy couldn't speak English when he got here.. guy speaks fluently now..

Is that an insight into PoolParty's lack of give a damn?

JP is an enigma.
But it could be an indication of how serious a guy is about doing whatever it takes to improve as a pro hockey player in North America.. Only took Petrov a year to learn the language.
I think JP's biggest problem is his agent.. the agent got a 4th overall pick as a client and is choked he hasn't cashed in by now.. 10% on 1.2M is not what he banked on.

I was just surprised that his English was so bad when coming over, knowing how the education system in Finland generally teaches Swedish and English at an early age. It's not like when Kurri had to watch Happy Days just to learn English, or Tikkanen had to - well - okay he's still learning from what I see online, but either way it was odd to me.
