His hard work and dedication are about to make him a multi-millionaire, and I have no problem with this if it's on the Oilers or elsewhere genuine a good dudeSave this kind of praise until after his extension is signed.
It is the most random stat there is. The Kings also had seasons back in the day where their hit counts were really high. Was getting to the point where essentially anytime you touched another player you were credited with a hit. Worked for both teams when playing there so in game it wasn't out of whack, but over the course of the season it was something.Random thought, but hit counts are so inflated now. Was reading a post on the Kings board about how they have 200 hits in this series while only having 140-some in their 2012 series against the Blues.
I watched a game (must've been game 2 or 3) of Bruins vs. Leafs a few days back and I was laughing when the panel was pointing out how physical Toronto was with their 30 hits in two periods. There were maybe 5 notable 'big' hits, while every other one was just a 'finishing your check' moment. It always has been an ambiguous stat that changed depending on the home arena's stat guy, but it seems the threshold of a hit is lower now.
Damn Trudeau and Biden inflating hits now
If they keep what up? losing??
So much interference especially on McDavid.
Lol fair, he's making his case for why he deserves and raise and to stay. Desharnais is going to be a tough call imo.Save this kind of praise until after his extension is signed.
Losing your stick and giving a guy a bearhug and pulling him down should be a penalty no matter the time or score, I don’t care if it’s game 7 Stanley cup finals overtime 6, the rules should be consistent
Of course we also have Stecher who can draw in anytime and we dont' miss a beat. I'm not used to this having extra usable players laying around. Feels like a "have" team in a Canadian market.
This playoffs I'm hearing audibles from the players and bench quite a lot. What a change over a team that never used to do any of that. Such an advantage to be informed of what you may not be seeing. defensively or offensively. This is coming from the coaches and/or the new players because it wasn't happening much before.
Not sure if we call it fickle.. ppl react to what they see and what we saw in game 2 was very different than game 4.
Must really butt hurt you to come on and admit Skinner was great. At least now we all know who the "fraud " is.
You just needed to be patient. We all did. Some people on here just expected a guy to come in for his first year in the league and be really playoff and experience ready. We're now seeing the results of some maturity and big game experience kick in.
I think Ceci has been very good in the playoffs so far. Same with Evander Kane.
How is your King superstar Dubois doing in the series? Everyone but you was well aware he is trash before the series even started.
I’d add Kesselring too,even though he’s no longer part of the org.
I think it’s been stated previously that Chias draft record was strong (and better than Holland’s). The trade record of each is also flipped with Chias being beyond atrocious and Hollands trending much better.What if it was Chia
Better check with SN first. They think he lost like 28 of his last 29 or something. Can't be ove 9 with thar record!
The entire Ruff family had great hockey lineage. Brent could have been a special pro player, sad he never got the chance. :/
Ha yeah possibly!
