Kevin Fiala, reborn (23 points in last 10 games)

[42]

I'm noticing Fiala has replaced Boldy on the top PP. The coach is helping him get more money on his next contract?

Deano wants to price Kevin out

3 assists for Fiala on the PP tonight. I thought he was not supposed to be good on the PP.

 

[16thOverallSaveUs]

Moved to the top unit and has 3 PP assists through 35mins. 4 assists total

 

[16thOverallSaveUs]

Make that 5 assists. He has clinched a point per game with 82 points

I'm afraid your info is already outdated.

5 points tonight. Still just 2nd period

 

[16thOverallSaveUs]

2nd period isn’t over yet. Fiala has 5 assist and has garaunteed a point per game season with 82 points

 

[Three On Zero]

An absolute beauty

 

[ODoyle]

He is really fooking good.

 

[42]

20 points in his last 8 games. Good time for him to get hot.

 

[Teppo]

i think you're wrong, but even if you were correct Fiala off his peak is<<<Kaprizov off his peak, and Fiala is off his peak more than he's on.

possibly in Fiala's favor but how has the quality of competition lined up during this Hot Fiala period vs Kaprizov and zone start percentage etc?

I agree with you - when Fiala is off his game he disappears. When Kaprizov is off his game he still scores and sets up goals. But I still think peak Fiala is more dominant than peak Kap.

I remember watching the Preds in the playoffs years ago before I was in to prospects and thinking "WHO THE HECK IS THIS FIALA GUY". He was easily the flashiest guy on the ice for the Preds that game and I was surprised to see his point totals were so low when I looked him up. It's cool to see Kevin Fiala, reborn

He's gonna break Gretzky's Record next season.

 

[SensontheRush]

I remember everyone giving Minnesota HELL trading Granlund for Fiala...

I thought 8 was supposed to do that.

I still maintain it was poor value for what the assets were valued at the time.

I think that when you can assist 50 goals in a season you are doing very well, Kevin Fiala!

I agree with you - when Fiala is off his game he disappears. When Kaprizov is off his game he still scores and sets up goals. But I still think peak Fiala is more dominant than peak Kap.

IMO you're wrong on both counts, but hey, you've got the right to your opinion.

I disagree with the first one. When Fiala is off his game he doesn't disappear, he appears for all the wrong reasons. Usually poor giveaways.

Heck, he had two tonight. But when you do what he did the rest of the game, you can certainly excuse those.

But he's right on Kaprizov IMHO. On his "poor" games, he usually will still have one sweet pass or shot that ends up in the net.

 

[Our Lady Peace]

He's moved into 7th now I believe with 67 ESP. Pretty darn solid playing 2nd line minutes

Fiala off his game doesn't just disappear, he has been known to become a liability, which has frustrated his coaches.

Fiala ON his game? Makes Fiala off his game totally worth while, especially since he's on his game more than off it these days.

 

[swissexpert]

3 assists for Fiala on the PP tonight. I thought he was not supposed to be good on the PP.

Yeah it's crazy. He'd be flirting with 100 if he was on the 1st PP all year.

 

[Green Blank Stare]

This guy always stood out the past few years whenever the Canucks played the Wild. Not surprised at all he's finally having a breakout season.
