#33 Jakob Silfverberg First NHL Goal!

[playasRus]

What a pass from Weircioch!

You could see Silf eyeing that top corner the whole time.

One question, How do you pronounce his first name?

The a is pronounced more like the long a in the words "car" or "far" than the a in "Jay".

The right way is like the letter A in "garage" if you're from Quebec city.

One question, How do you pronounce his first name?

Not at all like you'd think- as Bob Cole taught me.

It's: Alfsilfersson.

That stretch pass is too Rundbladesque. Makes me miss him alot.

Wouldn't it make you not miss him?

 

[metalfoot]

Yeah, Rundblad did one big stretch pass, now Wiercioch has done one; Wiercioch seems to be more able in his own end. I'd call it a wash. I think SilverMountain is a great player and as he becomes more comfortable we'll see more of those snipes.

Why no emotion when he scores?

He showed more emotion on that non goal he thought went in then the ones that actually went in.

probably afraid he'll end up on coach's corner for celebrating while not being Canadian lol

 

[BrawlFan]

Great shot by him. He seems a tad small out there and doesnt have that extra gear to breakaway from players. I would love to see him with a guy like Alfie though. A guy who can protect the puck a bit and get the puck on net.

 

[DylanSensFan]

Did you guys notice the way Price watched in disbelief as Silfverberg skated away after scoring.

30seconds

6'1... 200# I do not think he is that small.

 

[General Granny*]

Cant wait to see him with DaCosta paired up with him.

Going to be some magic Silfvy.

He seems like a real professional. He's probably pissed at himself for not having more then 2 lol. Always struck me as the kind of player who is never satisfied with his performance and always wants to push himself to do more.

 

[Bob Kudelski]

I'm really digging Silfverberg's game. He's very professional and mature.

I'm surprised he doesn't have a few assists, but it's a symptom of the team's overall offensive struggles.

He's got a nice shot. I can see him being a consistent 25 goal, 25 assist guy, with a few 30/30 years when he gets 1st line duties.

.

Or his linemates which has been Regin, Daugavins and Latendresse, who have yet to score this season.

Some of the best of all-time haven't been big on celebrations. Bobby Orr comes to mind.

I remember by the end of his career, Yzerman almost looked pissed when he scored
