Player Discussion Vincent Trocheck

[Raspewtin]

tied his career high of 75 points last night

he's a treasure

25-52-77 +16 Those numbers obviously dont tell the whole story. Arguably the 2nd or 3rd most important player on this team. Regardless, IMO has co-led the charge to this trophy. Guess who will co-lead the charge in the PO's? The PO's are his bitch. He has a bigger, more important trophy on his mind. I ran into this thread and posts about Vinnie. (Scroll down, 2 mentions)

Favorite Player you'll never get

My answer is my favorite player and THE reason I have been an 8 year Islanders STH: John Tavares. The 716 will just have to settle for the other John Tavares.

he’s been one of the best UFA acquisitions in the past couple decades for us. an absolute steal of a contract right now. he’s good to great in every area of the game

 

[Rempe73]

He is so freakin good man. So good

This and some. His tenacity all over the ice is both infectious and a breath of fresh air. I can't recall the last time the team had a player that plays with this much passion/aggression over a 200' surface and scores like he does.

the Rangers need to be investigated asap for stealing money from Vincent Trocheck

 

[DanielBrassard]

He’s been amazing

 

[Bob Richards]

He f***ing rocks.

He’s so good and opposing players always look like they want him dead lmao.

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

Absolute madman on the puck.

The second efforts, the hustling, the intelligence, the focus.

You dont win close to 3/4 of the faceoffs you take if you mentally take off shifts.

This dude shows up to play every game, every period, every shift with the same intensity and desperation.

How do the canes lose him and don’t miss a beat? Impressive.

how did we sign him for $5.625mm aav?

Stealing Trocheck from the Canes was a crazy good move.

 

[Cuckoo4Kakko]

Sometimes it pains me that we paid Trouba $8 million. Then I remember Trocheck. If we paid Trocheck $8 million, and Trouba just $5.6 million.......it would still suck that Trouba makes that much. Jeez what a terrible contract that was.

Imagine that we won a Presidents' Trophy in 2015 on a team where our #1 center would have been a #3 center on this team.

 

[Row I Goon]

Hid faceoff% in the playoffs is better than his regular season number (currently 71%, Rantanen is 2nd at 63%)..

I can't recall us having anyone that good at winning a draw in years!

Henrik Lundqvist

 

[mrmovies779]

Guy is criminally underpaid for what he brings every night

 

[Riche16]

With all the accolades...

He is still CRIMINALLY underrated both here AND around the league.

He's been a beast on both sides of the ice & faceoffs all season.

The Fact that he's STILL doing it in super tight playoff games, is REALLY impressive & well more than I expected.

Kudos

 

[noncents]

for all his skill, speed, and savvy, what i appreciate most is his ethos. he just f***in wants it.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Henrik Lundqvist

Cam Talbot

 

[blue425]

With the season he's had I'm quite happy he won't be in a Canes jersey next week.

 

[HolyHagelin]

Was super excited when they signed him, fair to say he’s exceeded my expectations.
