Ray_Cathode Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 On 2/3/2019 at 10:00 PM, Horvat is a Boss said: I've been thinking Juolevi's style would work better with Pettersson on PP1 than Hughes' as well. Juolevi can dish effectively and open up space for Pettersson on one side or Boeser on the other. He's also got a good wrister from the point and can pick a spot if the goalie is screened. Hughes would have free reign to do whatever he wants on PP2. I’m thinking a PP of Juolevi (or Hutton) on point, Boeser, Pettersson, Horvat, and Hughes as rover - with his skating, constantly repositioning and forcing the forward defenders to play deeper or drive them deeper, or moving in and out of deep slot to bump and to relay - kind of the deep slot plat Gagner used to earn his dough. When Hughes drops back out let Horvat curl out from beside the net to front to screen. Right now, our PP is way too static and predictable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phat Fingers Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 On 2/4/2019 at 4:45 AM, khay said: It will be a major upgrade and I think EP's scoring rate will increase as a result. What Pouliot does from time to time (once every 5 games) on the offensive side, Hughes does every game. I know that Gudbranson has a poor stat when it comes to +/-, but he brings an element of the game that can compliment Hughes game and his numbers may improve playing with Hughes as well. The whole teams scoring rate would increase. Having a defender that can actually transition the puck and contribute on offence has been a black hole on this team for 4 years. Hey seasons end we will have 1 guy that can do that. By next year 2 and the year after that 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pouliot/Gudbranson often get paired with Petey's line. It'll be fun to see Hughes and Pettersson on the ice at the same time. I think fans don't realize how tough being an NHL dman actually is.

They don't but it's likely he does step in. Im really interested to see his defensive game against pros lol, who knows he might simplify big time or could throw the puck away like a mad man and end up watching from the press box.

Debatable now, but give him a couple more years to develop the mental toughness to not second guess net charges. I think he's still a little hesitant? self conscious? However at times, you can see his potential. 3on3 he makes me drool. Sorry. Back to Quinn.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiftynifty Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 (edited) Should be 29 points in 25, had a clear assist on the 5th goal but wasn’t credited with one. Edit: QH has been credited with the 3rd assist now! Edited February 10, 2019 by Shiftynifty 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildcam Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Quinn is having a very good year leading his team in points. If Quinn had some offensive forwards to play with his point total would be much higher.. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
