feels like Sanheim still doesn't play nearly enough

 

[MacDonald4MVP]

 

[BringBackHakstol]

Sanheim is looking excellent other than that cross over trip up he had.

Don't know what he has to do to get the coach's trust

 

[Jtown]

feels like Sanheim still doesn't play nearly enough

patience, He is looking good

 

[FLYguy3911]

5v5 scoring chances 19-8 Vegas.

 

[bennysflyers16]

feels like Sanheim still doesn't play nearly enough

He’s at 10 mins, it’s a start.

Ghost at almost 18, see if he gets his normal benching in the third.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

This is MSE's way of putting us in the shell.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

 

[Tripod]

Lighting up Fleury never gets old.

5 goals against, 11 saves.

 

[NicolasAubeKubel]

He’s at 10 mins, it’s a start.

Ghost at almost 18, see if he gets his normal benching in the third.

I will not rest until Sanheim is skating the puck up the ice and playing 20 minutes a night

 

[AndHeMissedTheNet]

guys, this "line being centered by Lehtera and not sucking" thing is scaring me. what do we do?

also, what the f*** happened during the first intermission? did hak decide to surprise the team with a surprise pep talk from vandevelde, who then proceeded to get decapitated by gritty?

 

[Stizzle]

I'm reposting this because I feel like it. The persecution of Sanheim continues with no ice time.

Expected Goal % 5v5 leaders through 2 prds...

Simmer
Misha
Sanheim
JVR
Ghost

Corsi is the same except Gudas is there, not Ghost.

 

[GKJ]

Hey! This looks good!

 

[Tripod]

He’s at 10 mins, it’s a start.

Ghost at almost 18, see if he gets his normal benching in the third.

A game like today is when you get those extra minutes to Sanheim to keep building confidence. Let's see what happens.

 

[Magua]

Scoring chances 19-8 Vegas.

Being on TEAM NEGATIVE is our cross to bear.

 

[Petr Svoboda Mullet]

For the win....

 

[JojoTheWhale]

How about Sanheim, despite being a beast, being last in 5v5 defense ice time and on pace for 13 minutes total all-situations (if that's even a necessary qualifier)? Would you have guessed that?

Somewhere there's a sportsbook that will take action on this stuff. I like free money, so I keep looking.

 

[Striiker]

Sanheim still got benched last year after playing great, so you never know.


But please no shell in this period. Don’t do it you idiot coach.

 

[bennysflyers16]

Ryan Whitney with a good tweet. If any of you listen to spittin chicklets podcast, when they talk about Gritty it’s hilarious.

 

[deadhead]

Snaheim just needs to do it for a few games.
Hagg and MacDonald played that 3 on 2 to perfection, Elliott made an easy save look hard.
In fact, Hagg actually looks like a top 4 D-man tonight, but let's not get carried away!

Flyer are showing the difference depth makes, I don't think MAF played worse than Elliott, he just didn't play out of his gourd like last season.
But the Flyers showed they can skate with Vegas four lines deep, and they're the more physical team.
A little luck, but also going up 5-1 on the road messes with your head, hard not to relax a little.
But the first ten minutes, wow, they just took it to Vegas in their own building on opening night.

This is why I am happy to see Martel gone, I don't want skating smurfs, I want guys like Raffl who hound you over 200 feet.
And Voracek actually made a good defense play getting back, get that boy motivated and he could be special, not just good.

This is the way Hakstol wants this team to play, not a shell, but smart and aggressive, not out of control, but balls to the wall.

 

[PHILOUDELPHIA]

Nice guys just ended my day been listening on sirius and thanks to linking nhl center ice with nhl.tv i can watch the game and even can get nbcsp

 

[Beef Invictus]

 

[bennysflyers16]

Pretty open interview with E Karlsson here.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

This is the way Hakstol wants this team to play, not a shell, but smart and aggressive, not out of control, but balls to the wall.

You really covered your bases there
