I think Provy turns out much better than Kimmo.

That's an incredibly lofty goal. If he becomes close to Timonen we should all be dancing naked in the streets with pure joy.

Shoot that, Jake!

 

[Angry Hockey Dad]

I missed the first 55:00. I see we are up. Cool

 

[Rebels57]

Cousins with an incredible shot block

Keep this kid in the damn lineup

 

[Tripod]

Nice job Cuz!

We lose its on you

 

[Rebels57]

Ok Read. I see you.

 

[FrozenSherbet]

Prime Kimmo was phenomenal..but yeah I do think his ceiling is higher because of his physical tools

One thing I noticed that Timonen had that Provorov lacks is a defensive slide. Timonen was unbelievable at breaking up odd man rushes by sliding. Provorov still hasn't added that element to his game.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

TK on a late game shift with a one goal lead. Good to see.

 

[MacDonald4MVP]

Our third line is sharp tonight.

Definitely a learnable skill though and I doubt Kimmo was doing it at 19. He really was amazing at defending 2 on 1s.

Thats reasonable I guess

Holy ****, sensible coaching decisions!

Kimmo came to the NHL 6 years after being drafted. Let's see where Provy is in 5 years then compare.

He has been furious on backcheck as well.

PM me in 6 years.

Hakstol putting the big defensive guns out Couts, Simmonds, and Vandevelde.

Yeah, Gostisbehere for example is getting pretty good at them. I hope it's something they'll have Provorov work on in the next few off seasons.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Good save by Mase through traffic.

^^^ i think i see the weak link

 

[Tripod]

WTF is VDV out there?

 

[Striiker]

^^^ i think i see the weak link

Yeah, Couturier.

 

[Rebels57]

WTF is VDV out there?

He lost a race that resulted in 30 seconds of added pressure

 

[Appleyard]

Why is Giroux not used in such situations... so frustrating!

Best faceoff man and one of best defensive fwds.

 

[SuchySays]

Mason!!
