Color me unimpressed. Doesn't look dynamic.

Either you're getting a whole box of crayola or you're being facetious

Well, Now I'm curious on how you would paint my face with Crayolas.

I was being facetious though, from previous years where the buzzword was dynamic

 

[TheeNorthStar]

Yeah, no.. we gotta keep him.

 

[Bazeek]

Am I the only grump that watches these videos and wonders what it all looks like when the obstacles are 6'2" and want to hurt him?

Like the Keebler elf dancing through a bunch of angry trees

Idk, he’s the same height as Kaprizov, so hopefully like him

I'm not all that worried about the size/skating preventing him from being a very good NHL forward. I'm a little concerned about how it'll affect his chances at center.

It's still great to see him going after how this last year went, though.

Yeah, the lack of comparables for under 5’10 top 6 centers is alarming, but there are enough players his size playing the middle of the ice that I’d feel comfortable betting on the abilities to prevail. Brackett believing in it as well certainly helps

 

[WildisLaw]

He’s gonna light it up so much offensively you’ll forget how small he is. Once Boldy grows into his body it will be fun to see that line with Rossi and Fiala or there’s also pairing with zucc/kaprizov if you really want to make offensive heads spin. Or you can load up Kap-Rossi-Fiala and be a top 3 line in hockey in the near future. I’m gettin giddy about this kid

You said color not paint haha.. but.. crayola makes water color paints, I can give you a 2 on one cheek and 3 on the other

Goes back to my usage of the word when I was lobbying for us to draft Pastrnak.

Completely off topic, but I wonder, had we drafted Pastrnak instead of Tuch, and the choice to Vegas was between Kaprizov and whoever the third guy was, if they would have taken Kaprizov. Obviously we wouldn't have made Pastrnak available there.

The 3rd guy was Greenway.

I do recall they weren't enamored with the "russian kid", as they thought he'd be too difficult to bring over. I bet they would've gone Greenway.

What could have been

 

[TaLoN]

Either way... I think my usage of the term "dynamic" in relation to Pastrnak's game has at least turned out to be justified at the very least.

Yes, Rossi looks pretty dynamic too btw.

ive watched this video a few times now, and everytime it bugs me that hes not stickhandling through the obstacles instead of around them

I think some of the other video's he is going through them.

Kinda negates the purpose of putting cones out there if he's just skating through them...

"Suffer not a cone to live."

 

[TaLoN]

Yes, in other videos he is... probably just the specific drill he's running in this one.

probably easier to just rearrange equipment already in use when switching up drills than to swap them out completely just for posterity of use.

Besides, these still take up more space than cones if he's asked to go around them. Still value in working with less space.

old but still dang

Rossi training 3 weeks exclusively with Rob Shremp in Austria, after that plans to train with Zürich Lions, going to play for Austria end of August in olympic qualifiers. Put it through Google Translate if you want all of it but that’s the gist of it.
