[Makar Goes Fast]

tyson barrie is very good at catching swedish fish in his mouth

 

[JaegerDice]

It's not so much a little thing, but it's a thing that doesn't get talked about enough:

Saad is a one-man breakout. It's kind of crazy to watch.

 

[GodEmperor]

Auston has generational air intake.

 

[TropicalFruitGirl2]

Steven Stamkos....VERY underrated checking forward.

Everyone knows all about how he can score goals (when you score 60 you tend to get people's attention), but not many outside the Lightning fanbase really understand that he has worked very hard to be a complete two way, 200 ft player.

His personal stats in recent years haven't been as high (yes, injuries have had a major impact on him), but that isn't because he isn't 'as effective a player' but rather he does other things on the ice to help his team.....and I have seen him play some pretty darn good checking type games while still being able to find open teammates...especially Nikita Kucherov.

I will take a Stamkos that puts up 30 G, 70Pts and does just about EVERYTHING on the ice over a Steve Stamkos that scores 50G, 90Pts but is just interested in the offensive part of the game.
And that is JUST what he seems to be doing, and doing it well.

Pietrangelo will win his board battles almost 100% of the time, the guy is crazy with stick checking as well, one of the best 1v1 for sure.

 

[Jets012]

Hall is an awesome possession driver. Doesn't matter who he's playing with, he can drive play and transition into the opponent's zone

 

[thedustman]

bortuzzo is good at jumping him one he fell

 

[Kelly]

Polak is really good at shooting the puck off the glass.

 

[Lays]

Kreider and Grabner both know how to jump out of swimming pools

 

[PensandCaps]

Letang is good at fooling no one with his pump fakes.

 

[GodEmperor]

Polak is really good at shooting the puck off the glass.

Generational icer, generational locker room presence, generational generator of Babcock veteran lust.

 

[Martinez]

Zetterberg is elite at getting tossed out of faceoffs

 

[JoVel]

Nikita Kucherov is very good at giving interviews.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Matthews is good at playing the puck with his skates.
Rielly is elite at skating the puck from his own end, circling the opponent's net, and accomplishing nothing.

 

[wonton15]

Boeser is elite at looking like he's doing nothing out there and then he'll pot one or put up an assist

 

[Evil Little]

Byfuglien is good at scrums.

Polak is really good at shooting the puck off the glass.

Laine actually has excellent draw weight--lifting the puck deep without icing it. Obviously that's not something you want to see very often.

 

[Scott Stevens]

Generational icer, generational locker room presence, generational generator of Babcock veteran lust.

Are you suggesting that Babcock is sexually attracted to Polak and plays him in hopes of getting his pants off?

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Phil is perfect for awesome t-shirt designs.

 

[OmniSens]

Karlsson at winking.

 

[jetsforever]

Laine is a generational Finn-attractor

 

[PsychoticHab]

tyson barrie is very good at catching swedish fish in his mouth

Which more than makes up for his lack of hotel room wrestling skills.

 

[JPeeper]

Zetterberg is elite at getting tossed out of faceoffs

He and Monahan must be in the same club. Fairly certain Monahan gets thrown out of 80% of faceoffs on home ice.

 

[Binister]

Parise is good at getting paid well by scoring below average.
Granny is good at not playing a full 82 game regular season.

 

[RememberTheName]

Generational icer, generational locker room presence, generational generator of Babcock veteran lust.

You just described Ben Lovejoy exactly and Hynes love for him, though it’s not as bad this year
