He will be a Black Ace sooner than later

 

[Mikos87]

Played okay today, had some good moments but I thought when he and both Sleep were out there together they had several miscues including one pp goal against.

I get the feeling he might see a playoff game with the injuries piling up for this team.

He played a lot in the 3rd and didn't look out of place protecting a lead for the most part.

Why?



No way he plays tonight, Wolf Pack had a game this morning...

Perhaps they want to re-sign him and this is their way of showing him he is next in line for 4th line duties next year? Just musing.

Instead of putting in Lindberg, they're going to play Hrivik who played in a game already today?

[DanielBrassard]

Why wouldn't Lindberg be put in when Stalberg is hurt?

Lol, don't think that will be the case, but having two extra forwards is important right now.

Alternatively, Lindberg goes in, and Hrivik serves as spare.

And then Stalberg comes back, and we have two extra F, which is important.

Why panic and call him up at 4pm on gameday?

 

[17futurecap]

Probably because the Pack are headed to St. John's this weekend and it's a lot easier to get him to Pittsburgh from Toronto.

 

[Vitto79]

I'm sure hrvik as insurance if another body goes down . If stalberg can't go Lindberg plays

 

[nyr2k2]

It would be cool if he played. How often has a guy played two games in one day, in two different leagues?

AK, pls respond

AK, pls respond

I just responded to his PM

 

[Irishguy42]

I miss Hrivik, tbh

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Man this guy was terrible. One of those players a few posters loved though and thought would be an NHL player. Boo took over that spot afterwards.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

I miss Hrivik, tbh

I remember calling him "the Frog" because his name sounds like the sound a frog makes. And some people thought it was a slur

 

[eco's bones]

Hrivik was kind of like Fogarty to me--good team guy but AHL level player was what he was. A step too slow skating--a step too slow thinking the game.

 

[Mikos87]

He's doing well for himself in the SHL. Guy will make a good living playing pro hockey. It doesn't always have to come from the NHL. Good to see him succeed. This was a guy that worked his ass off when he was here. I was happy to see him get the call-ups. You don't have to play to get that tier one per diem.

I agree he was a little behind the play when he was here, but I thought he deferred when he was in the show. There was a real case of senioritis, or being caught in the moment when he was here. Sometimes it's a systems fit, sometimes the player has to just play. That's not a criticism of the player, it happens on all teams, with all players, every year. But to the current Ranger prospects, or anyone getting minutes, it goes to show you that you have the make the most of your minutes when you get the chance. The best way to do that is just to go play without thinking about how you might be perceived.

 

[Irishguy42]

Damn. Looking through this thread and its back when Pat Leonard was still on the beat.

Those were the days.

Thank goodness it's changed...

 

[Kupo]

Hrivik was supposed the make Rick Nash expendable.

 

[nyr2k2]

I still think if circumstances had been different, he could have stuck. We were always f***ing around on the bottom line with guys like Stoll, Glass, Pirri, etc. I think if he found himself on a team with no depth, a bad team, that he could have maybe carved out more of a consistent role. He went to Calgary and got hurt and then left at the end of the year and never looked back. Glad he's doing well. He plays on the same team as Calle Själin.
