I honestly sometimes wonder if "throw puck and find out" is a good strategy for struggling power play units.

I've seen poor NCAA teams do it a lot on the power play in an umbrella set up, with three guys at the blue line and two fighting for position right in front of the net.

Yup, consider last year he averaged 2.8 shots per game and scored 13 goals (13% shooting). This year he's averaging 5.4 shots per game and has seen his shooting percentage plummet to 3.5%. He's at half of last year's shot total in basically a quarter of the games. Second in the entire league, trailing the first place guy by 8, with five games in hand.

If he shot like this last year, over 60 games, he would have led the league. As a defenseman.

Shot happy defensemen can really boost a team's forechecking. Not every shot is the right play but a shot on net is almost never a bad play. I hope he continues this.

Speaking of dads: The fathers of Simon Kjellberg, Vlad Namestnikov, Lias Andersson and Ty Ronning (4 guys in our system together at one point) all played for the Nashville Predators in 1999-2000

when i was listening to the 5 OT NCAA UMD<>NoDak game
I was thinking they could replace Sam, one day, with Leah Hextall, Bryan (Sr)'s granddaughter,
also 2 uncles played for NYR (and that goalie cousin played NHL too...)

Pajuniemi was scoreless and -2.

Edstrom is also playing. Through 2, he's not yet on the scoresheet.

 

[jay from jersey]

He scared me in the cup finals in 94.

Same. Him, the Russian Rocket, Linden etc
Best team Vancouver ever iced

 

[nyr2k2]

Edström scored what turned out to be the GWG. 3-2-5 in 5 playoff games. The big guy is stepping up.

He and Kravtsov have that in common. Play big when the lights shine brightest

 

[nyr2k2]

The other day I mentioned Rempe may be out for the season, and now it is official, he is done for the season with a lower body injury.

 

[Vitto79]

So what’s the story on Robertson and Schneider next year ? Got sure it’s Nhl or AHL not juniors ?

Man, if he is really becoming a player...

To have HIM in front on the PP...

They'll both be playing professionally next year, either with Hartford or the Rangers.

Brian Boyle II but like this kid more b/c the Rangers drafted him. Skyscraper on skates.

 

[NYSPORTS]

Give him some weight gainer to go from 225lb to 250lb.

Who could move him?

 

[Harbour Dog]

In Edstrom's D-1 and D-0 seasons, he played in 4 relegation games (J20) and put up 7 goals and 3 assists; a huge uptick from his regular season numbers.

And now he's putting a P/GP in SHL playoffs. When the checking gets tighter and the intensity gets turned up, there's something to be said for being a 6'8" monster that can get around the ice efficiently.

How’s Edstrom’s skating? Don’t think it has to be anything special but that’s a lot of human to move around, hope he can keep up.

He's pretty fast actually.

By the way, another assist. P/GP in the play offs. This kid just turns it up when the lights shine brightest.

Nice, thanks!

 

[SnowblindNYR]

I would kill to have that mentality on the Rangers

Joe is that you?

Certainly a guy to keep an eye on. Those physical tools with a scoring touch, wowzers

Imagine a line Edstrom, Gettinger, Rueshchoff 8^)
Little Timmy's only 6'6" ...

Edström - Rempe - Rueschhoff

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Is Edstrom someone worth following? I just thought he was one of our late round scrubs.

He definitely is. His D+1 he exceeded expectations, and he has continued that trend this season. I think he will be signed this summer, then loaned back to Rögle (to avoid arbitration eligibility when his ELC expires if they'd sign him next summer)

Is he a guy that can ever become more than 4th liner in the NHL?

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Yes, I think he has a shot to fill that role in 2-3 years.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

The role of a 4th liner or higher than a 4th liner?
