LD Miro Heiskanen - IFK Helsinki, Liiga (2017, 3rd, DAL)

[Kaako Kappo]

What does this even mean?

It means that scoring goals in Liiga does not mean that ur shot is NHL level. Liiga shot quality is garbage

 

[Ippenator]

Every goal so far. While his shot isn't particularly powerful, it's accurate.

And his shot is already clearly more powerful than it was last season. Not a real rocket, but definitely not a muffin either. And as already mentioned, his shot is first of all pretty accurate, which is still the most important thing about a shot.

I am watching his game today and he has been a bit of a letdown. In a slump?

Has he been bad though? From what I've been watching, he hasn't made any noteable mistakes out there, which pretty much means he has been just fine. Also, he was great in his last game vs Saipa, so I don't think he is suddenly slumping.

Gotta remember the kid is playing 24+ minutes every game while still being 18. Quiet games like this one happens. Still one period more to go though.

Well, a guy that claims Finland is a bust-factory must have some high standards.

 

[TheFinnishTrap]

Almost immediately when I start watching Heiskanen has two good pinches to keep the puck in and help his team score.

Only saw the first 2 periods but he looked like himself. He didnt shoot as much but he still played really well. He wont score every game but as long as he is getting 26 a night all situations he is doing fine

He's below a PPG? Bust!

Trade him while you can

 

[junglefinn]

Just scored a sick goal in OT against Tappara.

What a shot!

[Ippenator]

Miro busting so hard!

 

[M2Beezy]

That is just so filthy. Such a effortless looking release of the stick so the goalie had ZERO chance to even think to respond. And on top of that its a top corner goal just WOW

 

[Spotty 2 Hotty]

A great prospect would already have at least 10 goals!

Whys 10 the cutoff number?

 

[TheFinnishTrap]

Whys 10 the cutoff number?

Because Heiskanen doesn't have 10 goals yet For real though, his goal scoring is very impressive.

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Beautiful goal

 

[BB88]

Just saw this posted, right away starts with a beauty defensive play.

Just saw this posted, right away starts with a beauty defensive play.

I went through like 12 games for that video and I honestly counted less than 5 noticeable rookie mistakes from Heiskanen that resulted legit scoring chance for the opponent. So when you put that into context of him playing 24+ minutes a night and him having to play through the toughest moments because he is their most valuable player, it's really amazing how flawless he is. Also, they say the shot is his weakness yet he keeps scoring with it quite regularly.

Even his coach has admitted that Heiskanen is already the leader of his team at the 18. I can't wait what kind of player he will be in 5 years.

Yeah thats for sure Im more impressed with this guy as the months go by imagine like you said what will look like in 5 years. Cant wait to look back at this draft at that time with so many guys already looking so good

 

[RageQuit77]

D

 

[WhatWhat]

Just a stupidly good release on that tight angle shot. Now if his teammates would just bury a few more of his passes so his assists go up that would be nice

 

[maaran]

Wouldn't be surprised if he becomes one of the best NHL defenders in a few years.

 

[Spotty 2 Hotty]

Whys 10 the cutoff number?

Because my sarcasm was subtle so I chose 10 instead of 20.
