  1. He’s such a good dude!! A golden retriever is a perfect match for him. Wish him, his girlfriend and Jaffa all the best🥺❤️

  2. As a Finn, Ive never understood how some have simply not learned English over the years, its mandatory from the 3rd grade (9 years old). Must say though, I do enjoy some Rally English and Jesse is such a genuine guy with that huge of a smile all the time. Good stuff this and seems people like him over the seas too.

  3. It is great to see how Jesse has improved his english and his confidence this year. It seems he is really enjoying it there in Edmonton. Wish him all the best in Hockey and in life with Jaffa and the GF! Way to Go Jesse – eat pizza and score some more!!

  4. Actually I hope he does not learn to speak better English….These interviews are just priceless! 🤙

  5. As a Finn, i can admitt hes not talented with speech or english. But he got some funny charisma .. just be patiance 😀

  6. Imagine sitting infront of tv-cameras recording you and reporters asking you all kinds of questions, knowing eveything's going to be on youtube. Adding to the above, imagine you're also just 22 years old and in a foreign country.

    With these things in mind, imagine the reporters are speaking and expecting you to speak in a non-native language. All that being said, to be honest Jesse's English is way below average from a fellow-Finnish point of view. 🤫

    PS. Esa Tikkanen's English wasn't perfect either, so he spoke his own infamous language = Tikitalk. Fun fact: When meeting President Gerald Ford after winning Stanley Cup, while shaking hands Esa approached the President for a sweet Mustang deal. Esa had thought they were meeting the president of the Ford car company, but hey, who wouldn't have? 🤣

  7. I always expect Puljijarvi to have a more childish voice that he has and it always takes me by surprise.
