GDT: Memorial Cup Game #2: Peterborough Petes (Brennan Othmann) vs Kamloops Blazers - 6PM NHL NETWORK

[The Crypto Guy]

You see that same hit 100 times every game.

Not from the Rangers

The NHL seems to push draft "rivalries" (Taylor v. Tyler, Kakko v. Hughes, Laf v. Hughes, comparing Bedard to McDavid mostly based on both being top tier players named "Connor") more than geographical/historical/current play rivalries (BOS v. MTL a handful of years ago being one example).

There's just typically not that same type of 70s/80s/90s vitriol in today's game for any extended period.

There are too many teams now. When you only play a team 3 or 4 times a season, and sometimes not for months at at time, the hatred cannot build.

I think Othmann plays the game Laviolette likes. I always thought he’d need time in HFD but I think the odds are increasing that he’ll make the team out of camp.

That was a fine hit. And It wasn’t the hardest I’ve seen him throw either. Absolutely zero wrong there, just unfortunate for Masters. Bagging on Othmann for that hit by folks on this board is just so predictable. Kid plays hard, buzzer to buzzer, no matter the score. He’s exactly what this team needs, attitude wise.

He’s what the team needs. Panarin is what the fans deserve lol!!
