His last chance for a Habs special. He got about a week before we cut ties.Friberg got the primary assist so it's sort of a Habs special
Game report for Olofsson and Norlinder 01-10-2020.
Olofsson et les siens ont le dessus sur Norlinder dans une victoire de Skelleftea | Rapport de match
Norlinder got the highest TOI among defenseman on his team. Man, he will be really good at the end of the year. Great coaches right there.
You are so right with this. All the little things he does really impress meNorlinder seems really good at
holding the blue line when the other team is getting out of their zone. It can be a really efficient play when the 3rd FWD is already back checking and in good position. Everytime I saw him doing it, the 3rd guy was indeed in a good position. I really love that play because of it works, it opens up the ice for a chance in the offensive zone. If it doesn’t, fellow dman and fwd back checking takes the 1-2FWD. All Norlinder has to do is to take their 3FWD.
If it keeps working, I hope Julien practice it. Romanov would be deadly in this kind of system, opens up the option for an open ice hit.
here's Olofsson's line for the day,
1 g, 1 shot, +1, 9:29
that's his 2nd lowest TOI of the season.
''Not much to see but good TOI '' is pretty much the best we can hope for in Olofsson's case. I really wish there was an added dimension to his game but it seems like I'll still be waiting for it by the time he's retired .I had hoped to watch Gordin today but he didn't dress for his VHL team, so don't know if he was moved up or down or just didn't dress.
I watched Olofsson, not much to see. His team did win 3-1, and he was used on the PP, they put him at RW there and LW 5 on 5. Here's his totals,
0 pts/shots/hits/pims, Even, 12:43
the good news is that TOI is only :17 away from a season high and 2 of the last 3 games he's now been close to 13 mins. So far in 6 games though just the 1 pt.
