We're already there.At what point is the grace period over for Haula and we can start referring to him as "stone hands"?
While I get what you're saying, Ryder and Cammalleri were absolutely cooked when they finished with us. Haula still has tempo and affects play positively in both ends from what I can tell.I'd call his post hits unlucky, but I wouldn't call much else unlucky.
I think his days of 15 goals are probably over. Maybe he goes on a market correction bender through the rest of the year and winds up scoring closer to 15 than we'd ever imagine after game 27, but it's not unlike a player of his age to fall off in shooting percentage.
This is what happened to Mike Cammalleri (at an older age), Michael Ryder. Ryane Clowe had that lockout season where he scored ZERO goals in 28 games with the Sharks. He wound up finishing that season with 3 goals in 40 games after scoring 3 goals in 12 games as a Ranger, but his shooting percentage goes down dramatically after 12.
These things start out as ''Unlucky'', but before you know it you're sitting there with 1 goal in 27 games or 2 goals in 40 games and you don't really recover for the remainder of your career, even if you come out of it and a bit and score a few more the next year.
I wouldn't be surprised if it's Akira on Monday, but only because it's a back to back and both guys will play a game anyway.I also expect Vanecek to bounce back on Monday. He's a prideful guy and he'll want to come back strong.
So I missed the hit, but is Miles dead?
Yeah he never looked like he came back to planet earth even once he got to the bench.
No, you’re thinking of Nathan Bastian.So I missed the hit, but is Miles dead?
Over 200 minutes with Jack Hughes and 1 goal is impressively bad. I think Vladimir Zharkov could match that.We're already there.
He's been a good player, but it looks like his days of scoring a significant number of goals are over.
He's probably somewhat unlucky to only have one goal in 27 games, but if he finishes the year significantly below his career norms in goals then it's safe to say he's more than likely seeing a diminishing skill in goal scoring. It happens and he's not at all young anymore. It's very common at this age, unless you're Adam Henrique and keep on shooting 15% into your 30's.
I'm sure he'll score a little more next year and he'll probably finish with more than the 3 goals he's on pace to score this year, but I think he might very well have seen his last 15 goal season.
No, you’re thinking of Nathan Bastian.
I don't disagree. He's also a few years younger than those guys were when they last played here, but there is a correlation with older players and a declining shooting percentage and those were two examples that come to mind.While I get what you're saying, Ryder and Cammalleri were absolutely cooked when they finished with us. Haula still has tempo and affects play positively in both ends from what I can tell.
Played like shit, had some bad luck, Lindy said "f*** around and find out" and pulled w 7:30 left in the 3rdJust got home and missed the game. Do I really want to read through the comments?
Lots of dumb mistakes by us, VTEC and Siegs were poor. We made it fun in the last 10 minutes of the game.Just got home and missed the game. Do I really want to read through the comments?
Pretty sure I could match that. And iirc, Haula’s 1 goal was on the second pp unit without Hughes. So his total with Hughes is 0 goals.Over 200 minutes with Jack Hughes and 1 goal is impressively bad. I think Vladimir Zharkov could match that.
Most likely a medium to bad concussion, out for 3+ weeks.So I missed the hit, but is Miles dead?
He def whiplashed hard on the fallMost likely a medium to bad concussion, out for 3+ weeks.
Trust me, you read it on the internet.
And had 2 saves.View attachment 619365
Hughes played 12:19 in the 3rd period, including 7:33 of the last 7:52 of the game.
That’s a fair complaint for the entire game. When things aren’t going well and you have a look, shoot the puck. A lot of times tonight players passed up good shot opportunities to try to make a fine set up. One occasion towards the end of the second with Zetterlund comes very much to mind and could serve as an example. He has a great look but tried to feed a team mate.Only complaint from the last 5 minutes would be to shoot more. Especially point shots.
