Thank you.

 

[Harbour Dog]

Missed the first; how'd Keane look?

Missed the first; how'd Keane look?

Pretty good. 3 nice rushes up the ice, moved the puck out of his own end quickly and accurately and bailed out both Samuelsson and Samberg on 2 separate 2 on 1's, neither time the puck got to the net.

 

[Zibanejbread]

Real nice entry into the zone to get a good chance to start the second.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Keane just walked Honka

 

[Cag29]

Let me ask in a different way. Given a choice between a starting goalie and a bottom 6 forward, who would you rather draft?

Depends on need but I would try and go with the best player on my board.

 

[Kovalev27]

Again he does everything well. Little quieter today

However he REALLY can’t shoot the puck. Like at all. This is easily what’s holding his point totals down

Luckily, shooting the puck is something that's teachable.

It is and it has a lot to do with strength and technique so there’s hope for him there for sure. Like everything else about him.

Yup. I can attest. I’m horrible at pretty much everything but skating and shooting, both super teachable and attainable with practice.

 

[Kupo]

This thread is much less violent than the Lindbom thread.

I like it here. Good vibes. Trying to limit my excitement for Keane but it’s hard to do so when you’re reading so many good things about him.

 

[Inferno]

Heh im the opposite. My skating and shooting are mediocre at best for my level. I'm all about hockey sense.

that 2 on 1 defense will never fly in the NHL, where you're not allowed to stay on your feet when defending a 2 on 1

You're not allowed to stay on your feet when defending a a 2 on 1? Huh?

I think that’s a Rangers D joke. You know because Staal and Danny G uses to snow angel only during 2on1s lol

Oh, haha. MDZ did the same. Anyway this went over my head.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

From the limited viewing of Keane I watched over the last couple days, he seems to be very raw still. The potential is there though, it was very evident and he is making a very good case to make the WJC team.

 

[Zibanejbread]

I know it's still super early, but the fact that we see good potential with a (late) 3rd round pick makes me happy.

Same here. Keane and Pajuniemi are the picks that I really like the most after Kravtsov.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

And Hughes. Skill guy in the seventh round.
