Unreal!
Vilardi for PLD straight up would have been a win for the jets.

Yeah but do you know how many gold stars and ice creams PLD won from the front office for 2 secondary assists vs. the Blackhawks

TBL: TEAM OF THE CENTURY
While watching the game, I was imagining how much better LA would be if they had kept Vilardi and signed Ryan O'Reilly. Combined, they make less than Dubois, but have 2.5x the points.
Great goal. Odd to see Joshua do just that a week ago and now Vilardi. Wonder if we start to see more of these as a new tactic?

Maybe, but you can't have a guy like O'Reilly as your future 1C at this point of his career.
True, but Vilardi was seen as LA's future 1C before injuries set him back. He conceivably could've been that again if he eventually moved back to center and stayed healthy. It might've been a long shot, but I would've taken on a chance on that rather than on Dubois.

I don't recall it being done in tight with no momentum very commonly.
Why? Because he and the CBJ could have gotten Vilardi for Dubois instead of f***ing Laine and Roslovic….??
Sorry, just a CBJ fan with PTSD from what the team has become.
I picked up Vilardi as a FA in a deep fantasy keeper league a bit ago just before he “broke out” on the Kings and started getting the credit he deserved or looked at much more positively. Always seemed like a very good/underrater player when I paid attention to him a while back and probably is still a bit underrated.

That goal was special. Gabe can do things with 2 feet of ice that very few can. And the speed which he did that at… oof.

Jokes aside Vilardi is arguably the most lethal in the league from that spot, he's got several highlights from there. Size, reach, and hands near the crease...like prime Corey Perry.
He’s being silly.
Between the legs, and roofing it far top corner all done in a second is not basic regardless of circumstance. Momentum or no momentum. It was a great skilled goal, only someone that hasn’t played hockey or someone trolling would make a comment like that.
The only thing basic is that take.
We were at the game, and even my wife was like that was sick..... It sucked it was against us but damn....
Yes, I used to play hockey and I don't know if I could do that even with a ball and all the time in the world vs a goalie that lost his stick and couldn't poke check, haha.
Not that I was that good, but anyway.
If players practice this, it does seem like an incredibly hard move to defend against if done quickly. A d-man literally can't tie up the forwards stick if the forwards body is between the stick and d-man. And if he tries to go through the legs to tie up the stick, it's almost an insta-tripping penalty. The only effective strategy, it would seem, is to maintain very tight body positioning on the forward. But on the penalty kill, this essentially creates a 4 on 3 plus traffic. :/
I think we'll see more of players doing this, or at least trying it.
