With 20G/30pts in 33gp I wonder if he'll ever get another NHL contract. His G/Gp is outstanding. Skating & Dplay may hold him back, but probably worth a 1yr/2-way contract to some GM. Hope he can make it back.

Did he hit the net though?

 

[Claypool]

Remember when everyone complained when the Red Wings gave him away for free? And then they re-claimed him and gave him away for free again and then no one cared?

although he really played a tough game in the NHL. good tough player in the corners and his skating had greatly improved. Would have liked him as a 3rd liner here

Does anyone remember what pulkkinen shot when he went to the all star game?

Not to steal shine from frk because 109 speaks for itself. Just from personal experience though, I’ve seen shots live from a few of the leagues heavy hitters and a lot of frk himself even when he was with the walleye. The sound of pulkkinen striking the puck and it hitting the glass was totally different from any other shot I’ve ever heard.

Pulks shot and the time Kronwall hit Kucherov are two memories I have that the sound of the game have stood out, both scary.

I kinda miss frk with the big club. Always nice having someone one the squad with a cannon. Too bad that he never seemed to be able to adjust to the nhl being a half second quicker than the ahl.

I would still take him over half our line up... He has flaws but he sticks to what he knows and works his tail off.

Useless one-trick pony.

Great shot. Nothing else.

Not sure, everyone had left the building when Pulkkinen finally released his shot.

Compared to the zero trick ponys we have. I'd take him over almost half of our forwards.

Frk'n A right...

He is currently on an NHL contract. The Kings signed him to a 1-year 2-way deal this past summer. They called him up for 4 games a month ago and he scored 3 goals.

Are we going to get to a point where strength training/stick technology is too good? I wouldn’t want to block a 115MPH shot even as a goalie. Remember when Al broke Ozzie’s hand?

That unfortunately was the problem with Pulkkinen at the NHL level. The shot going well wide and hitting the glass instead of being on net.

We reached that point long ago.

It has led to a massive homogenization of the talent pool, and play styles and roster builds.

I wish hockey had gone the way of baseball and stopped all the carbon fiber and made wood the standard.

In addition to stopping technology creep on shot power for the pro game, the new sticks are insanely expensive and I think it hurts youth hockey costs/accessibility that everyone is trying to buy the latest and greatest.

sounds like a radio station.

 

[Oddbob]

Not taking anything away from him, as he does shoot hard! However, I have my doubts that the number is legit, as AHL equipment is likely not as good as NHL equipment, maybe it's just me, I just find it hard to believe he broke the record!
