Player Discussion Ryan Dzingel

[DrunkUncleDenis]

We need a new thread for Dzingel since it seems like he's sticking around for the foreseeable future.

Here's the latest post from his Bingo/ELC thread:

This guy looks pretty legit.

I never realized he was the 7th rounder we got from the Penguins for Kovalev !

His origin story (Kovalev -> 7th -> Dzingel) is my favourite out of any player except Stone (Auld -> 6th -> Stone)

 

[Back in Black]

He's been nothing but short of spectacular!

 

[Tuna99]

He's so cool with the puck, has the patience on a top player. Reminds me of Dany Briere, same type of offense.

He seems to have chemistry with everybody as well, every line he's on produces.

He looks like a Baseball player.

 

[ChocolateLeclaire]

I was on the Dzingel bandwagon early as I got to watch him play at THE Ohio State University.

He's got tremendous hockey IQ

 

[Alfies Moustache]

Always thought he looked good in pre-season, had a nice first(or second?) game then get stuck on the fourth line with kelly and neil. Even there he seemed to be able to generate offense or bring something to the game as compared with Puempel.

Nice to see him getting some points, will be interesting to see if he can keep it going. I mean, 6 points in 6 games, 1 point behind Karlsson for the lead on the team.

Ryan Rocket Richard Dzingle. His goals remind me of Jeff Skinner for some odd reason (different position players and all).

Commentator: Ryan, to Dzingel.

Gets me everytime lol

Kovalev + Auld therefore were good FA signings then, in retrospect?

I'm pretty sure this is exactly how it works. Until we turn on them. Then it's just a string of incompetent decisions made by management.

 

[Erik Alfredsson]

What's impressive about him is how calm he looks out there. If you never watched the Sens before and never heard of Ryan Dzingel, you'd think he is a 5th year, 30 goal scoring vet.

Was Auld for a 6th done in his first or second stint with the team? nvrmind, answered my own question, first stint.

 

[Samsquanch]

It's impossible not to be exicted about him if your watching the games. Not only is he producing offense, but like others have mentioned in here, his poise out there is way ahead of his resume right now.

He looks, very, very good on the ice regardless of the points. I can't believe that we might have another Mark Stone like steal on our hands here. That might be setting the bar too high for him, but he looks like an NHL regular at bare minimum at his point.

 

[NyQuil]

Lazar should watch footage of how Dzingel is playing.

He doesn't have the wheels or hands of dzingel. Wheels especially.

Lazar needs to watch videos of Fisher or Kelly to learn how to penalty kill and grind. I don't see top 6 skill in Lazar whatsoever.

 

[Karl Eriksson]

He has the makings of a power forward in a way we haven't really had since Fisher.

He is strong on the puck
He makes his own space
He takes the body
He has surprising quickness/speed
And he has an offensive flair

Fisher was heavier and had a bit of a nasty streak to him at times.

At his peak, Fish was a 20 goal, 45 point guy. I'd be thrilled with that.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

He has all the tools to be a top 6 forward, and even a high-end top 6 forward.

His speed, vision, IQ and hands are all elite.

I loved this guy the first moment I saw him in camp and I knew he was gonna be an NHLer in last season's pre-season performance.

On the day Kovalev was signed, I remember saying to a friend "Kovalev sucks, and we will all hate him... but somewhere down the line this will lead to a win over the Canucks."

He is really nothing like Fisher. Fisher was a north and south power forward who used his body to generate chances. Dzingel is a finnesser who plays as much east and west hockey and uses his IQ and hands to generate offense.

Almost opposites in their playing style.

 

[NyQuil]

Dzingel reminds me a bit of Peter Schaefer.

24 year old Mike Fisher was not a north south player.

 

[robsenz]

Dzingel is basically what we thought we had in Peter Regin. I love the speed he brings to the game, its refreshing, hopefully his play is sustainable, cause he's been great since the preseason.

 

[Six Assets]

He was really impressive last year too.

A power forward?? Not seeing it at all.
