Why shoot the puck when you can try to dangle 5 guys to get to the net?
He's too good at that for his own good and takes it too far sometimes.
It reminds me of how Taylor Hall was in Edmonton, he'd do all this fancy work to get around and through an entire team, but then would go into the zone, do a spin by one of the faceoff circles, and lose the puck.
It was an intentional slew foot. Right in front of the ref. Moron.Cogs looks like the Mighty Ducks 2 kid trying to stop.
I truly don’t understand why you guys gripe about a Klingberg so much. Him taking chances like that is why he generates so much offense. That’s the thing Heiskanen needs to learn from Klingberg. If you have the skill, use it.Why shoot the puck when you can try to dangle 5 guys to get to the net?

Turning the puck over in front of the other team’s goalie is not a meaningful risk. You’re way overstating it. Trying to beat “play it safe” into a guy like Klingberg would be the worst way to handle him. You’d take away the very thing that makes him great. Him dangling and dancing is why he’s tied for the team lead in assists. Embrace it. This is a good thing.Because he is better served at dancing the line or driving down the wall, trying to force it down the middle of the ice into 5 defenders has a very small chance of success but a very high chance of turning it over for an odd-man rush the other way.
I mean ... this is a clinic in tracking the puck.
