Sick goal. Eye-opening.

I freaking love this kid. He's not getting sent back down.

 

[Will Hunting]

Welcome in the NHL, Derrick. Cool stuff.

 

[Big McLargehuge]

I freaking love this kid. He's not getting sent back down.

Yeah, he likely is. This doesn't make the numbers game any more in his favor.

Hopefully he does well enough to give management enough faith in him to expedite the departure of Martin.

 

[Redwingsfan]

wow. great shot from a tough angle.

 

[GerbeSonOfGloin]

Maybe he could be tried out at wing?

If Maatta is out long term, I could definitely see him sticking with the team. Run with:

Martin-Letang
Despres-Ehrhoff
Scuderi-Pouliot

Would they do that? Probably not, they'd probably run with Dumoulin there first. However, it's not like it's extremely unreasonable. I still think Pouliot's green defensively. He's not making mistakes, but he still looks really tentative right now. That's the reason he'd get sent down, and I don't think I could disagree with that.

This will be my favorite joke for a few weeks..... sad part is at least half the radio talk shows here will likely be actually advocating it rather soon

 

[Pi]

Yay...even more talent on the Penguins.

 

[Novak Djokovic]

My favorite defenseman in the juniors by a long shot. I loved watching him play for Portland and then Canada at World Juniors.

He reminds me so much of Erik Karlsson.

 

[izzy]

He's got such ridiculous offensive upside.

 

[IcedCapp]

He's got such ridiculous offensive upside.

it's a shame he'll be injured soon

 

[madinsomniac]

it's a shame he'll be injured soon

Nah.... the Adams wellness vampire is out of the lineup... no one to suck his health away now

 

[Stad]

That was a beauty of a snipe, he looked great in the 1st period.

Kid's gonna be a stud in this league for a long time.

That pass by Downie though, man he's been good this year.

 

[MovesLikeJagr68]

Been waiting awhile to see that shot in the NHL. That was legit.

 

[Mister Hockey]

I loved it. I always said he was a stud.

 

[Lemieuxs]

It's not just his ability to score. His passing is amazing as well. He is hitting forwards tape-to-tape out of the zone like he has been playing here for years.

 

[LionelHutz*]

Kid can really hockey.

 

[Angry Hockey Dad]

Kid can really hockey.

Amen. Thats a nice hockey.

 

[Roo Mad Bro]

Good offensive dman and PP QB but he really has to work on his d zone play. Been pretty mediocre defensively at the AHL level.

 

[Internet Explorer]

Amen. Thats a nice hockey.

Much hockey. Wow.
