Elite defender, Miro Heiskanen

Teeing off from the ladies tee's

My Dad is 88 and would resent this remark ........When I chirp him about playing from the ladies tees he likes to get in a branding debate by calling them "the forward tees".

 

[predfan24]

Great skater and seems to never get tired. He eats up minutes. Has poise and will probably be sneakily good offensively in his career. I think Duncan Keith is a good comparable.

Great analysis. Dahlin has nothing to do with Heiskanen or his success, so no point in him being discussed in this thread.

Except I didn't bring Dahlin into discussion. Salmonsnake did on Nov 4, 2018

Better than Dahlin.

uh No

Is this guy better than Dahlin? I like Heiskanen a lot, I think he’s an awesome player.

Also, my analysis was correct

Wasn't exactly an accurate analysis

Who cares who started it when it's you keeping it up. This Finn vs Swede thing is so old hat anyway. Russkies are more interesting as a hockey rival.

Betting a 20 for a goal tonight from the Wunderkid

He will probably log 25 minutes tonight and a have a point of two

Hat trick coming up for Miro !

Lmao this is the most juvenile argument. Who cares????

Swedish player bias aside, I think he will clearly be regarded as Dallas' number 1 defender next season in terms of ice-time and matchups. Will probably take a lot of work to displace Klingberg on the top PP, but I guess they may just roll both of them on it like they do in the playoffs. Hoping players like him and Dahlin can start challenging for the Norris in 2 seasons.

 

[Kcb12345]

Only 3 games but still...crazy. Averaging 28+ minutes over the last 2 games too so game 1 is what's bringing it down (~24 minutes)

 

[oconnor9sean]

He’s better than Klingberg and Klingberg is probably a top 10–12 defender in the league. Dallas is a good right handed DMan away from having the best defense in the league.

 

[The Drop]

He is impressive. That’s 2 players (and maybe 3 with Makar) that should have been drafted before the top 2 in 2017

 

[CookiesAndMilk]

Taking his game to another level these playoffs.

I swear, everytime I see a clip of him, he seems to get smoother in his movements. It's a pleasure to watch him play.

Nice to see a Nordic Calder race:

Pettersson
Dahlin
Heiskanen

How cool and weird it would be if the Stars actually win the Stanley Cup and Miro would win the Conn Smythe.

 

[Plante]

He's lights out in 2022 on my nhl19 be a pro mode. Big things to come based on this scientific foundation.

 

[Healthy DiPietro]

29:12 TOI tonight. More than anyone in the game and he was very good. Really starting to emerge as the Stars #1 over Klingberg now, who has played like **** so far and has for a while now

Sounds weird that the points leader for the Stars has played like shit.

Not that strange I suppose. Stars fans already seem to think he is their best player. So if they win it all, it's a given

Nice job quoting an old post. He was complete shit before last nights game, where he was outstanding and had 3 assists. Every other game though he was awful in, but last night he made the simple plays rather than trying to be cute with the puck and it worked out. What he should be doing anyways

Heiskanen is the Stars' best "skater" overall thus far, but for Dallas to win the Cup, it will be on the back of Bishop. So, the Conn Smythe is the goalie's if such an unlikely thing happens.

Nice of Miro to avoid the obvious kneeing attempt.

 

[Kcb12345]

Led the Stars in TOI tonight



Also led everyone on both teams in total TOI, and was 2nd in the NHL in TOI in the first round

 

[Channelcat]

This kid is amazing. Only 19?! Yikes.

 

[Halakitlikethat]

He was great tonight
