Damn.

Reporter asked Guy Boucher after the game to comment on Karlsson's pass on the first goal.

Guy responded by saying that that was a nice play that he's come to expect of Karlsson as he regularly makes these kind of plays so he's kind of numb to it. He also mentioned that the bigger story that doesn't get enough attention since it's not on a highlight reel is how he's as good on the defensive side of the puck as he is on the offensive side of the puck.

He's truly perfect at this stage.

Exactly this to me. He's so great defensively.

I do think there was a fair amount of luck in that pass..let's be honest. He may have even been trying to ice it since Hoffman would've been the first man in and negated that.

If it landed about 3 inches ahead of where it did, it would've bounced right over Hoffman's blade.

But Karlsson is one of the best passers in the history of the NHL, so it just might damn well have been 100% intentional.

You don't ice it at the goalie.

it was clearly 100% intentional

Does every pass need a thread? Good goal. So are 90% of the goals this time of year.

I dont get why you and other people complain about threads out there, if you dont like it just ignore it, its that simple

 

[TCIH]

When Karlsson's on he's worth the price of admission. That pass was amazing and I'm glad to see he's rightfully playing like he's the best player in that series.

 

[Willy Styles]

Wow what a player.

So envious of Sens, he's like the defensemen version of Patty Kane just so so skilled and cerebral. Hopefully he decides to leave soon, haha.

 

[Maplebeasts]

Best defenceman of this generation. This isn't sarcasm either.

 

[OmniSens]

The more hate Karlsson gets, the more he proves people wrong.

Keep it up EK! Privilege to watch him play.

Nice to see him playing his "A" game on the big stage, injured or not.

If we had one more guy like him we'd have a Cup.


Oyyy.

 

[Not Jared Cowen]

EK was taking notes.

Crazy. Now we're at the point where even the Boston media is comparing Karlsson to Orr. You guys can officially stop chastising us Sens fans for saying the same.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

I am sorry but Crosby nor McDavid control the game and are as valuable as Erik Karlsson.

What a player. Not in the same way but he is reminding me of Alfie in the 07 run. Except Alfie was 34/35 around then.

As amazing as he is in the regular season.

Olympics. World Juniors. World Cup. Playoffs.

This guy is even better when it matters most.

Wow.

He is on another planet densively. Man.

I.love the hate for the Karlsson passes. Even Nick Kypreos rambled on about it saying how unbelievable it was.

Wow, now this is ridiculous.

 

[trader997]

A saucer tape to tape pass directly on the blue line 120 ft later = sick pass

 

[ISensFanI]

Wow, now this is ridiculous.

Not really

 

[NyQuil]

Don't poke the bear.

Just enjoy Karlsson without talking about other players because it just brings their fanboys in to duke it out with our fanboys.

Well Orr is a big Karlsson fan. This is from a few years ago:

I've been a Karlsson hater for years saying he is overrated, but that pass was unreal amazing. Best pass I think I may have ever seen. Behind the back lucky passes are a dime a dozen. Throwing sauce from your own red line to the following blue line is a stupid talent.

There was someone years ago who backhand sauced a pass similar to tonight. May be the only pass I can recall that may be better.

Props to Karlsson.

Cheers buddy!

But that was double Benn-atration!

 

[Alfredo Garcia]

Lol best pass in years period. Sour grapes I get it.

Are you talking about the lob pass to Hoffman? If so, this is in fact done over and over again in the NHL. The difference in this one was not only the beauty finish by Hoffman, but the clean, quick way he controlled what would inevitably be a bouncing puck. 99% of the time the guy receiving the pass is unable to coral it cleanly enough to carry on with it. It was a nice Hail Mary pass, but in reality, Hoffman deserves more credit than EK, who, fwiw, I agree is the top Dman in the world right now.

Kypreos was trying to show how the puck actually landed flat and it was actually Hoffman's stick that caused the initial bobble.

I agree that it was a nice finish.
