Player Discussion Nick Paul (LW)

[JD1]

That sucks for Paul. Finally gets some momentum in his career and then an injury. Hopefully his skating gets back to 100% quickly.

 

[coladin]

Looked a lot worse than that, I hate it when players go bum forst towards the boards to make a hit. It is completely ineffective and unnecessary. Looked like a high ankle sprain and personally would be surprised to see him before March

 

[RAFI BOMB]

This is just speculation but it does provide a bit more of an understanding of what the potential injury is.

 

[Larionov]

It's worth noting that these guys generally get it right in their initial assessment of injuries. If you follow @profootballdoc on Twitter, he is incredibly accurate when giving his opinion on what NFL injuries might be...

 

[OgieO]

I think Grewal was the doc that thought ACL for Lafreniere and patella fracture for Couture. He's probably very good at what he does, but he's been wrong at least twice recently. I'm not criticizing him, without either a very good camera shot or hands on assessment, I am sure it is pretty tough.

 

[RAFI BOMB]

Good to see. There has been a noticeable impact on the team since he got injured. It will be good to get him back as it will provide the Sens some more versatility with their lines.

 

[aragorn]

If the Sens have any plans on moving Pageau they will need Paul & his ability to win faceoffs at crucial times in games.

Hey if Paul can suck through 4-5 camps and emerge like this, never give up too soon on Logan Brown.

 

[Dionysus]

Was a beast tonight. He can absolutely wire the puck too, just missed with a wrist shot from long range in the 3rd.

 

[Sweatred]

Stud - congrats Nick Paul

 

[Sensmileletsgo]

He was really good last season as well. He’s picked up where he left off 10 months ago.

 

[Karl Eriksson]

That penalty he drew on the leaf power play against 3 guys was a big turning point.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

Had 20 points in 56 games last year in bottom 6 duty. Not sure why some are quite surprised. Just a solid player.

EDIT: lol beat by @Sensmileletsgo by a second

 

[IranCondraAffair]

He had a great game. All over the ice. Hits, drawing penalties, blocking shots, and even takeaways.

Literally everything you want that leads to other positive things on the ice.

 

[Liver King]

Such a stud

If you wanted to make a perfect 3rd line guy it would be Pauly

Was unreal tonight

Sens really developed him well

 

[FunkySeeFunkyDoo]

Paul >> Spezza?

 

[Erik Alfredsson]

He's looking like a perfect bottom 6 player. I love love love his game. Fast, big, physical, and makes smart plays. Guys like him in your bottom 6 are what win you games in the playoffs. I hope the team sees him as a part of the long term plans.

 

[Mark Stones Spleen]

I think he won fastest skater and hardest shot couple years ago in the sens skills comp.

 

[Sensmileletsgo]

I think he won fastest skater and hardest shot couple years ago in the sens skills comp.

Yup. And he’s finally figured out how to put the two together.

 

[NyQuil]

Made a name for himself out there tonight.

 

[SensontheRush]

Isn't Paul the Sens Skills camp record holder for both fastest lap and hardest slapshot? Guy is insane.

Holy shit, that Paul tweet from 2020 scared me
