yeah thats what i was saying when i saw the goal...just horrendous defensive positioning...and he had his stick up in the air...that's just....no...NO...hell in my beer league i'd scream at one of my guys if they had their stick up in the air protecting the back side like that. just horrendous defense.

From all that I've seen and read, he likes getting dirty and has no problem playing a physical game. And his on ice work ethic is off the charts, he's always fighting off checks and protecting the puck against much bigger players.

I think I've said it before. Buchnevich is not afraid to get physical himself and also has a bit of an agitator in him. If someone tries to get dirty, he will not hesitate to embarrass them.

well then we agree. i said perhaps our best skater.

i actually think kreider is the fastest straight line skater in the organization. his top end is downright filthy and hes so big, which makes it even more freakish. he really is dangerous.

duclaire has impressive wheels and is one of our fastest prospects without question. jesper can motor too.

we certainly have speed on the wings.

but buchnevich is, imo, our best skater overall.

id disagree with that. id say Hagelin is probably our best overall skater. Freakish straight ahead speed, just about on par with Kreider, and hes about the most agile player in the NHL, his stops, starts, and ability to change directions is downright incredible.

he doesnt have the hands that the top level players do, but i cant think of any skater in the nhl who has his combination of speed and agility.

It's not even Kreider's top end that's impressive, he has great acceleration for such a big player. He causes a ton of turnovers in the offensive zone because he can track down defensemen or forwards on the boards so quickly and get on top of them before they can move the puck.

He's not the best east/west guy but he is an amazing north/south skater

ya id go along with that. you make a good case.

i guess if you add a stick and puck and shooting to the equation, then buchnevich is the guy.

skating alone, prob carl hagelin is the best pure skater of the bunch.

Forwards need north-south more, defensemen need east-west more.

I wish people could hold their horses on Duclair. How many junior-stars have we seen in the mid-rounds that never panned out? Many.

Damn. Buchnevich is on fire. Might be time to get him in the prospect pool in my keeper league... Great start. If he can keep this up, I think he instantly becomes a top-3 prospect in our system, if not #1.

Had to go back and look at that other goal, it was the same exact score and another one-timer, but not quite the same. My bad.

I wonder how much of this is due to the fact that he spent most of the summer in NJ training very hard. He looks like he took a big step forward
