Also don't like 9-40 being PK1. Rather have them later in the PK, and only one PK shift per 2 minutes. I'd prefer to see Blueger, Lafferty, Joshua and PDG do the heavy lifting 4v5.
i think it’s for the SHG threat that was incredible last year? but i agree, not worth it unless we’re pressing. it’s just diminishing returns at ES, and if those two PK sparingly then a few times a game when we do throw them out that’s a shock to the system of the opposing PP and more likely to turn into a prime SHG chance.
I wish Pettersson wouldn’t hit. He’s small, and the risks of injury far outweigh the benefits.
Like when Hamhuis hipchecked Lucic. Just wasn't worth it.
boeser’s late rookie season hit on clutterbuck... franchise altering. that said, petey has good technique when he hits, he just looks like he’s a bug hitting windshield because he’s so slight. but i don’t think he’s putting himself in any special danger, and is really only risking a fluke injury like hamhuis’. whereas rookie boeser had no idea how to hit effectively and more or less wrecked himself the way guys who should never have challenged rypien would walk into a pummelling.
