Because so far that seems to be holding true for the regular SHL season, SHL playoffs and now world championship. Exactly as expected , Now its up from here as he gets used to his team mates and they get used to him. He is world class talent! And where are all the he needs Utica posts today? Anyone claiming he needs any time in Utica will only look bad by game 5 or 6 of the NHL season. You can't ruin world class players they are just too good. They don't just fit in they take the team on their backs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone his ice time and if any of those points were on the PP? I'm not sure about his ice time but I believe both goals he was involved in were on the PP. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it looked like PP setup given the time and space he had in the o zone. I'm not sure how skilled France is but typically teams don't remain so passive in their own zone. I am excited to see him take off in 5-5 play. Pettersson with 1G 1A Trymakin with 0G 1A Horvat with what so far? anyone know his stats? he's been on a good line. All Pettersson's points are on the PP. Horvat isn't getting PP time I don't believe. Please correct me if I am wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just have to watch his last empty net goal it was his speed that allowed him to score. Or the countless wrap around goals. and only 19. WOW!

I just checked: while it doesn't look like the IIHF tracks if goals were on the PP on their website, France did take penalties right before each goal. I believe Horvat has three assists so far.

khay Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 37 minutes ago, SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME said: I suppose. But I think he was more referring to guys who consistently check the boards and just run around not accomplishing much other than putting themselves out of position. I'm confident Gaunce knows the value of a good hit, or a hustle play that results in a takeaway. But guys who run around, rattling glass, chasing the play, and looking busy while doing next to nothing productive can sometimes earn praise for “energy” shifts that really don’t help their teams. I would agree that narrowly missed checks by freight train types do get noticed. Deservedly so. And guys get their heads on swivels watching out for the next time that train comes through. This can certainly be beneficial. But an ineffectual “finish your check” attempt where a guy just throws himself wildly into the boards (while the target is long gone) is the definition of “wasted energy” IMO. Got what you are saying.. At the nhl level, no one does what gaunce is referring to as wasting energy. Missing a hit by a mile and getting out of position will not earn you any playing time. His comment seems to be more geared towards ahl or even junior level players. I kind of find the comment a bit arrogant especially since gaunce is playing a role that needs to bring some energy and yet, he doesn't bring much energy. For example, virt brings energy. He may miss a hit but only narrowly. Gaunce doesn't even attempt and hence never misses. Therefore, he never quite gets the timing right for a big hit. It's like expecting to be a good three point shooter but all you practice is being in good position. Gaunce needs to step up his physical game.

He finds open ice and beats players with speed. He has a gear that lulls players in and then he shifts into overdrive and gets around players. Making him more dangerous than just a fast player. Slow players don't score wrap around goals. EP has had a few this year alone. And not to mention break-aways and beating defensemen wide. makes me wonder if you have watched his highlight package?

The big ice will be good for him to work on spreading his wings and work on his skating. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheHitman Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 16 minutes ago, Horvat is a Boss said: What aspect(s) of his skating would you consider above average? The only real knock on his skating is his acceleration. His top speed is fine and he has some of the finest edgework at that speed of any hockey player in the world. He's going to have add some muscle so he can make those plays in the NHL but will be fine as long as he's protected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen examples of what you're talking about and I agree. But his agility in the corners isn't at that level. That's where he gets knocked off the puck or on the ice a lot. I think he can improve a great deal in that regard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
