Is he sending you to play in Lithuania?
I woke up right after I punched him in the face.

Seems to me that Lindgren could be an ideal partner for Pionk.
Strangely enough I imagined him anchoring a guy like ADA, if he sticks.
Neal has more offense to his game than stats have shown and I think we'll see more of it as he settles in. He has a good shot and righty one timer. Digging deeper into his AHL stats, he clearly focused on his defensive game first before gaining some confidence and also getting some pp time later. In 48 games in Hartford he has 1 g a 16 a but he put up 1 g and 10 assists in his last 19 games before the call up. So he did well to turn things around and start adding offense before the call up.Stralman is a little bigger and stronger than Pionk but OTOH while Stralsy moved the puck for us he created very little from the blueline and in. He scored very little.
Pionk haven’t scored a ton in the AHL nor for us in the NHL — but I think he has a bit potential there. Very fast windup. Good at making a move to open up a lane and let it go. Moves the puck well.
But it’s hard to tell, scoring a goal in this league is very hard. Often when players can create chances it’s only a matter of time before points start to come. But it’s no guarantee.
That would be the other player that he would complement. If I’m envisioning this team on defense going forward, I see two sets of potential pairings - I continue to harp on the idea that there is no better fit for this team in this draft than Boqvist, who I would pair with Hajek (if he develops accordingly.). The other is Lindgren with either Pionk or ADA. The interesting one is Rykov. My feeling is that in two or so years, we won’t see one of Pionk or ADA on this team. I can see another RD on the 2nd pairing. I also wonder what happens with Skjei. If he properly develops, he’s good to go on the 2nd pairing. But, I can see the Rangers moving him if say, Winnipeg doesn’t want to splurge on Trouba. Would a deal this off-season of say, Skjei, a young forward and TB’s 1st get it done?
A close friend of mine is at a bar in the city right now with Pionk, Gilmour and Spooner. Got videos of her with them.
Pionk!
These guys are awesome. Haha
I could dig it.There is more offense there in Pionk's game and I don't think he'll ever be Tanev on defense.
Ryan Ellis-lite is probably the best case scenario.

Man, how do you come up with this stuff? Amazing!Neal Stionk
I like how she is just freely caressing them. Rangers players never let me do that to them. Unbelievable!
I loved the way Pionk battled Lucic. He kept coming back for more. The offense was there in college. I like that he is focusing on his defense first.
Has a chance to be a real player.

You clearly don't get it. It took me a moment for the overwhelming wit of it to strike me, too.22 year old free agent signing who is exceeding all reasonable expectations, and that's your contribution to the discussion? Which way is not your radio show.

I'm still waiting, mouth agape in silent awe, for a similar biting criticism of Pias Andersson.
