Best pass since Karlssons 120ft sauce to Hoffman

[devbouz12]

Guys make 120 foot passes right on the tape all the time. Anyone who thinks otherwise is dense af

Jets announcers thought he “bobbled” the puck but when I saw the replay I was like “I think that asshole did that on purpose!”.


How about that McDavid/Morrissey matchup though? Man that was fun to watch.

Tbf tampa has 2 guys who are able to do that at times (Hedman and Stralman are both really good stretch passers)

That Karlsson pass is the equivalent of Michal Jordan's layup when he switched hands. Wildly overrated because of media hype.

Matt Duchene's pass this week was much nicer, as are the dozens of no look passes, tape-to-tape every night. Any beer leaguer can spot a guy open at the far blue line and fire a saucer pass.

Uhhhh......no.

 

[Erik Alfredsson]

Forsberg's better than Karlsson's as well. Much harder to pull off.

I don't see how that's better or harder to pull off. Karlsson's was from his goal line and was right on Hoffman's stick who was at the Bruins's blue line.

Always enjoyed this play from the Sedins. A+ for geometry

 

[BruinsBtn]

He also has all kinds of time to spot it and line it up and absolutely no one pressuring him. The most-impressive part of that play is Hoffman's finish.

Much more accuracy needed as the spot was much smaller. Karlsson had the entire opponent's middle ice to put the puck on.

McDavid admitted it was an accident and he was trying to shoot it though

He always is humble like this.

Kind of how Gretzky is the GOAT but praises Sam Gagner and countless others

Oh look, another McDavid thread where non Leafs fans bring up Matthews again. Do you guys have his poster on the back of your bedroom doors too?

McDavid himself said it was an accident and that he was trying to shoot. Either way Karlsson's was infinitely better.

The people who are saying 'right on the stick' don't realize that the guy receiving the pass is also adjusting. There's about a 6 ft window to put that in, which is no harder than lobbing a shot into an empty net. Whereas a non-look pass for a one-timer has to be almost dead-on accurate.

Its gonna happen regardless, kind of how every Ovi thread includes Crosby.

You call what Karlsson did, a saucer pass?

ugh i so badly wanted to believe it was real

there's being humble and there's be honest. I know people badly want to believe it was intentional, but that doesn't mean he's lying

anyone who has played ice hockey will tell you how difficult of a pass that was to make.

Except how many people are/were complaining about Crosby being mentioned all the time by Pens fans?

Every single Matthews thread, we have to deal with people saying there is too much Matthews talk and then as soon as you head to another thread someone who is not a Leafs fan is bringing him up again. Seems a little hypocritical that only Leafs fans get called out for it.

A lot? This forum was full of that from 06-2013

Its the same thing now, just different fanbase/player

 

[Mick Riddleton]

This pass by Orr I is the best I have ever seen. Old video, 1972/73 season, quality is bad. It is like the Ovie goal when he was on the ice. He put it right on Bucyk's stick for a goal, from his back looking the wrong way

 

[authentic]

There we have it. But it makes you wonder if he might actually try this purposely some time.

 

[WesMcCauley]

McJesus is amazing but he obviously tried to shoot it on that play

Sorry. I meant to say "non Pens" fans. I don't remember too many people going into non Pens and Crosby threads and bringing him up all the time.

I see what you mean now, you do have a point

A lot of Matthews threads are usually started by non leafs fans too

It's still real to me dammit.

 

[Jozay]

Why would you hate McDavid because his team is bad? Lmao
