NHL: Around the League 46

[Brightwing]

Auston Matthews is unbelievable. He has to be working his way up right behind McDavid as most dominating force in the game. What a shot that kid has. Can't remember a center that shoots like that..unreal.

Isles vs Pens good game tonight 3-2 Pens final few minutes

Nashville beat the Jackets, so thanks for that mustard cats.

Sam Bennett has requested a trade. We talked about him 2 years ago- we do well with reclamation players, with Toews and Dach out, he wouldn't cost a ton to get IMO

Sam Bennett with a cheap headshot on 4K. Definitely suspension worthy. Predator hit.

The battle of Alberta getting vicious.

This just in. Vegas playing Col outside in Tahoe on August 13th at 2:37am.

Strome for Bennett? Bennett is a year older but I think I'd do that.

The Hawks really need a right shot though.
Idk who might be available that fits that description. They really missed the boat when Roslovic was available.

We don’t need reclamation projects, how many even end up working out? Just trade him for a second round pick and move on.

On an unrelated note, the North division is absolute garbage. Not a single one of those teams knows how to play defense.

You think they can get a 2nd for him? I'm not sure they could trade Strome for more than a bag of heavily used hockey pucks right now.

Imagine scouting Strome and telling your GM "We should give a 2nd for that guy" you'd get fired on the spot.

Errr.... no.

 

[Kevin Musto]

It would be a massive failure to only get a 2nd in exchange for Strome

Have you f***ing watched him play recently?

Would be a steal to get that for dylie.

 

[Kevin Musto]

Have you f***ing watched him play recently?

I have. It's a bad stretch. It's not indicative of what he's capable of.

Imagine wanting to sell low.

Right now, it would be an act of thievery on Stan's behalf to get more than a used locker room towel for Strome.

He didnt even hit him in the head.

 

[BobbyJet]

He didnt even hit him in the head.

Looked helmet to helmet to me and blatant predator-like on a guy not looking and without the puck:

 

[BK]

Looks shoulder to under shoulder to me.

 

[BobbyJet]

Looks shoulder to under shoulder to me.

Looking at it from the angle behind Bennett it looked like his shoulder caught some of his head. But no matter a dirty hit and 4K is out, probably for the season with a badly broken collar bone.

Helmet to helmet? Is this a metric system thing?

Sucks about 4K. No idea why he isn’t our extra defenseman.

Truly have no clue what Bobby is looking at. He must have access to a different angle than the rest of us do.

Looked helmet to helmet to me and blatant predator-like on a guy not looking and without the puck:

I watched the game. Bennett is looking down at the puck, trying to make a play on it... His stick is even on the ice, with two hands on it. The puck is bouncing all over the place, so both players are looking down. 4K was not prepared at all for contact, was barely moving, and Bennett was flying through, ready for contact. Bennett caught the back of his shoulder as he came through, spinning him. If it is 4k's head(and not his shoulder, as I suspect) it's because of the fall to the ice. Not the contact.

For someone who preaches physicality, and tough old school hockey, you seem to be completely out of touch here. It was a freak accident that happens when guys are moving at those speeds. I might even go so far as to say incidental. Predatory? Suspension worthy? GTFO of here with that.

Truly have no clue what Bobby is looking at. He must have access to a different angle than the rest of us do.

He's probably looking at this play through the same lens that convinces him that one of the best goalies the Blackhawks have ever had was no more than average.

 

[RayP]

What a f***ing shot from Pasta. Wow.

 

[BobbyJet]

Perry with a beauty for Habs.

 

[Rooh]

true elite defense here

 

[Svedu]

Perhaps I´m biased but I just do think Lankinen is more exciting. He's younger and if you check out the stats from that WC he played, I get the impression that he has a higher upside. I mean he was on the same level as Vasilevskiy himself. Of course it's a small sample size, but his numbers from Finland are promising as well.
Even if he wouldn't turn out great he seems to have somewhat of a potential to become a decent starter. I just don't get that impression of seeing this goalie against the Panthers and Subban form his earlier performances.
