Wonder what Frolunda is gonna do with Dower Nilsson?

 

[r0bert8841]

Wow this is a really good period for Edvisson. That break out pass he just made was great.

 

[ThankGord]

Was that Theo that went down awkwardly by the boards and skated off? Haven't seen him out there in a bit.

 

[lhsgolf19]

Wonder what Frolunda is gonna do with Dower Nilsson?

He’s on the U20 team

 

[Christien]

He’s on the U20 team

I know... that's what I'm saying, I wonder if they're gonna keep him on there or not. Frolunda is so deep.

Oh gotcha

Edvisson stick work in the defensive zone is really impressive. He has a really long stick and he knows how to use it.

Def, he knocks down and blocks so many passes.

 

[izlez]

Really like the creativity here:


I don't feel like linking them all. But for anyone that doesn't already know, IceHockeyGifs twitter already has several more clips from this game up

Filip Larsson the back up goalie in HV 71's 1st preseason game

That still makes me so mad. When the WIngs were toying with the idea of bringing in Larsson after his ONE season in college, I said it would be a terrible move and we'd regret it. He needed a lot more time in college and not to go to the shit Griffins. Everyone argued with me and now look at this scrub. Two more season in college, that's all he needed, I firmly believe he'd be a stud right now if he waited just two more seasons before becoming a pro.

Where'd I go? I think I blacked out for a second.

...Didn't he have some horrific career-ending-for-goalies types of injuries?

 

[Konnan511]

That would be Daniel Larsson, I think.

 

[GoBoltz56]

That would be Daniel Larsson, I think.

No, Filip ripped his groin muscle off the bone and had it surgically re-attached.

 

[Konnan511]

Oooof, again, as pointed out many times by myself, I'm not the sharpest lightbulb in the crayon shed. Well, he was going downhill before that regardless. Right?

I actually don't recall when it happened, but I have it in my mind that it was right around the time he started to decline.

 

[Unfriendly Ghost]

I'm starting to think that Edvinsson isn't a bad passer by any means, he's just got to improve his pass selection. Not because he's dumb, but because he gets cocky. He's thinking ultra high danger a little too often, and then it gets picked off and he looks dumb. Hopefully they can coach him to trust his teammates a little more and focus on just getting the puck up the ice. With his skating, stickhandling, and skill level, there's no reason for him to be anything less than an excellent puck mover.

 

[OgeeOgelthorpe]

That would be Daniel Larsson, I think.

You've got your Larsson's mixed up.

Filip Larsson was a stud in college but tore a groin muscle.

Daniel Larsson didn't like playing second fiddle to Howard.

 

[lhsgolf19]

Kid is just scratching the surface for how good he can be

 

[FabricDetails]

Hahaha... In a pre-season game??? This MF-er tryna get himself some mo minutes.

 

[golffuul]

Kid is just scratching the surface for how good he can be

Am I wrong in thinking that his style is a bit Hedman-esque? Carries the puck well, skates well, good vision, good stick, uses body position well. Haven't seen his shot much, yet. But I love what I've seen so far.

He defends very similar to him. Uses his wingspan to drive the forward to the outside, and pins them.

I was never under the impression he was a bad passer. The critique was he was inconsistent. And I think you're exactly right, I think he made some poor, overly aggressive, and fancy plays because he was against weaker competition and tried to get away with either high risk plays or lazy plays - or both. When he clubbed up to more difficult competition, he played safer. I think it's what made him so frustrating for analysts that it seems random how he performs. The one thing I told from watching what I could...he knows how to play defense and it shows at all levels. At the very worst outcome, he's a huge, smooth skating shutdown D...which awesome. Upside if he figures out his offense and how to use all his tools (which is does at random times) - he's a puck carrying freight train who can eat up all three zones in a hurry. Not bad at all

 

[Henkka]

Seeing Albin Grewe first time playing in Finland.

Legendary Tampere Cup going and local rivals Ilves vs. Tappara. 0-0 after 20min, fast and physical pre-season hockey.

He is quite fast and agitating. More surprised of that skating. Had one breakaway already.

 

[NickH8]

"Something's really starting to happen with the team..."

A good number of us, here, get that sense as well. If our top prospects develop, I think we can be a really good team.

I like that Yzerman is building a veery good skating, 200ft team. I think that's why he liked Edvinsson more than anyone else who was available. He's building a team that plays to go far in the playoffs.
