Damn so you found the only example that works and hes probably the worst case of player development ever.

Well, there's many examples that work when you don't restrict yourself to ''muh 50 goals.'' Why goals and not points? Is it because Ryan Strome had 106 and Kyle Wellwood had 118 and Dal Colle had 95?

Brendl.

Funny both Ryan Strome and Kyle Wellwood put up 50 points in the NHL.

So the best examples you could come up with are Yakupov and two middle 6 forwards ? Fool.

 

[Mrb1p]

Brendl.

Yep, Brendl is the obvious one. What happened there, I wouldnt know.

 

[NotProkofievian]

He's a guy who scored a lot of goals by exploiting holes in terrible junior defences, but didn't have much of a game outside of that.

Sound familiar?

 

[Andrei79]

Yep, Brendl is the obvious one. What happened there, I wouldnt know.

He was lazy, out of shape, had poor work ethic and relied on his immense talent. So, bad example

Ryan Strome is an immense disappointment, and Kyle Wellwood never put up 50 points in the NHL. And you forgot about Dal Colle who, at 22, has yet to earn himself an NHL roster spot.

Muh 102 points is a guarantee tho.

Isnt MDC kind of the opposite of Artur in playstyle though ?

Obviously high points seasons dont guarantee a NHL career, but which of these were as skilled as Kaliyev? You have to go to Brendl and Yakupov (I assume Brendl was, Ive never seen him play.)

I wouldnt want the Habs to land him as a lot of times theyve shown theyre not able to develop anything, but theres no reasons a NHLer cannot be made from Kaliyev.

I guess hes a good example, along with Yakupov.

Even if Yakupov was the opposite of lazy, out of shape and poor work ethic.

Kovalchuk is another guy who bustef hard because he didnt play defense or hustled.

Oh
Damn
Waiiit

Blues - Jets
Caps - Canes
Sharks - Knights

All play tonight.

Not sure if the Avs look like their going to be a tough team to beat or if Calgary just isn't good enough.

My picks for remaining teams are Stars, Blues, Knights, Caps, Avs, Bruins (even if I want the Leafs to win)

Calgary has no answer for Mackinnon really... And they over-rely on Monahan who's an absolute floater.

I am rewatching the Tampa-CBJ series.

McDonagh gave CBJ life game 1 and game 4. CBJ's sixth man is Ryan McDonagh. Foglino doesn't even get that chance if McDonagh does not make that pass.

Game 1 in that series was thievery. David Savard going coast to coast, and that SHG by Anderson happened because Savard crashed the net and got Stamkos to crash into his own goalie.

Tampa is a very, very bad puck possession team. They should get Boucher back and start trapping, because their offense is so opportunistic that it can work.

Scary foreshadowing of Tampa's problems came in Period 1 of Game 1 - Pierre Mcguire said Tampa's PK was elite and Cooper said their D just needs to move the puck a little quicker. Tampa's breakout was never fixed and CBJ's PP was money all freaking series. Maybe Marty St. Louis the consultant saw something in Tampa's PK, CBJ adjusted, but Tampa could never adjust.

Cooper needed to adjust, but didn't. Is he the first coach to get swept twice in his career?

Coach Q of all people got swept twice in three seasons with the Avs.

 

[SirClintonPortis]

Coach Q of all people got swept twice in three seasons with the Avs.

Well, at least Q advanced to the second round first before getting broomed in a far more respectable conference back then, and the Avalanche were just a 95 point team. Perhaps, Cooper is the only coach to get booted out of the first round twice in a sweep?

 

[Adriatic]

The Bolt fans on the Habs board must be going nuts.

Flames first line isn't built for the NHL PO's and their goaltending duo is mediocre at best.
I live in Calgary and I said they'd be out in the first round because of that.

I don't agree there is such a thing as a line being built for playoff hockey.

 

[donghabs98]

I keep watching the Avs OT winner and the back check of the Flanes forwards is pretty shocking. James Neal just gilded back into the defensive zone and didnt try and take out a passing lane.

Cool. No one is asking you to agree.

That's asking a little too much from Neal. He's a premier cherry picker, he can't waste time back checking.

 

[Andy]

I know. Just wanted to put my opinion out there.

 

[Kriss E]

@PaulD again, what do you mean “always”? knights joined the league last year, are you saying you've been a hockey fan for 1 year?

Dont be like that, everyone here knows you like the Pens.
