John McClane Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Not to take anything away from those 2 goals, but that Russian goalie......... looked..... not that talented. Otherwise loving what I’m seeing from Hogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No point showboating Im gonna have to agree. You need to make the high % plays, it's just a bit too risky at that moment and in that position. He's young though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.I.A.H.N Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Not that I would try that But it does show a young man with extreme confidence in his edges and skating In general, I think that is a very good thing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No point showboating Let's put it this way. If that goal went in you'd be looking at another highlight viral video and you wouldn't be saying that. I'm just glad he has the guts to try these sort of things in a good league while he is young. Will give him lots of confidence to try these things heading to the NHL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His other goal from behind the net was different because he had few other options and wasn't in a prime shooting area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No point showboating That's a good point and its a silly move but still, the instincts on this kid to even try that when he's not completely wide open is unreal! Having said that, in a 1-1 game I'm sure the coach would be a little rattled and its not the best play for the moment but damn the Hog has hands for days! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbie Schremp once did a similar move at a Prospect game on a 2 on 1, iirc. Where did it get him? Islander/Oilers/German league. Risky hockey play but also dangerous - he could've skated over the defenseman's legs; his shot and/or stick could've hit player's head/face/eyes.

I'm sure his team mate liked it too, cocked back for a one-time pass.. the thing about those flashy plays is that if you make them count its on the goal of the year highlight reel, if you don't it looks immature /selfish /silly.. especially if there's a real scoring chance.. my opinion - save it for the shootout. especially in the nhl, you gotta make the high percentage play.. he'll learn that tho..

DeNiro Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Looks like something from the Mighty Ducks movie. My guess is a coach is gonna tell him to knock that off pretty quickly. This isn’t figure skating, someone’s gonna take your head off if you try that in the NHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows that other might not do the same. I'd think he'd have that mill stone around his neck being told since he was knee high to a grasshopper "you're too small kid" and given the chnace he likes to "show 'em" As long as he can repeat in the NHL why should I care Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Hoglander has elite skill, and he has meanness too. I want him to mature. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not much of a play maker and more of a skilled scorer with good hands. If he learns to read the ice and his teammates more I think he could become elite. Hopefully he's not a Yakupov 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray_Cathode Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Elite scorers are often very selfish players, that's one reason they become elite scorers... they love having the puck on their stick near the goal and they feel they can beat anybody, they feel that they want to be the guy taking the shot because they are good at it... of course there are lots of selfish players that aren't elite scorers too... a pain to play with because they have an acute lack of self-perception. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
