Player Discussion: Ondrej Palat

[DFC]

I was really dissapointed in him in 1st round,and first ganes 2nd round,until he began to score. Dude looked lost,he was fast he tried to play well but it was totally uneffected. And i thought that he will useless like in each game. Glad for him,glad that he began to score,forward in top 6 must score goals and play effective,so im glad,that i was wrong in my thoughts,he did really great job in last games,hopefully his stick will be hot for long time

I think he was great in the first round. It's not a coincidence that our hottest lines, going back many years now, have Ondrej Palat on them.

He was creating space for the other two, which is a thing we've sorely lacked in previous playoffs where he wasn't at 100%. Having him play a gritty game with skilled linemates has been the key, IMO, to scoring 5v5 in this playoffs, wheras we've seen it dry up in previous years.

It doesn’t get noticed much but he does a lot of the little things right that coaches praise all the time.

 

[Hoek]

Palat is able to "creep to the mic like a phantom" more against the skill teams that overlook him because he's not as flashy, but still puts in the critical work against the more tight checking teams. Versatile player to say the least.

 

[DFC]

Palat just makes it a lot harder to shut down whoever he's playing with.

Remember last year when you would cringe whenever the puck was on his stick?

I'm pretty sure im on the record saying he would turn it around.

Well he was a mess last year. Glad he was able to get healthy and turn it around.

It's probably the biggest difference to our playoff performance this year compared to previous years. Adding grit is nice, but the only way it REALLY helps you score is if it's in the top-6. A healthy Palat has given us that... kind of like 2015.

DID WE FORGET ABOUT DREJ??

This guy is riding a 5 games goal streak, which is the new franchise record.

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

He's been a perfect fit on the Point-Kucherov line. It’s a different look than 91-21-86 previously used this season or 9-21-86 the year before, but it works in the playoffs and that line is on fire.

 

[Volodya Krutov]

My boy, my king Drej.

 

[DFC]

He's back to being underrated. What an amazing run he's having.

Where the guy belongs. Underrated. God I loved him so much since day 1, haha !

8 goals in 8 games.

I forgot about Drej.

IMO this has more to do with Kucherov, Johnson and Palat have been mediocre in points department every since Cooper broke up the triplets.

Did you say Kucherov has been mediocre in points department, over the last few years? Huh. Guess he should give some trophies back.

Cool! We can name it the CCR line instead and when any of them score, they can blast "Bad Moon Risin'"
