  1. Anyone know why Boeser is taking so many face-offs?
  2. I wouldn't call him the steal of the draft; he is one of the few later picks that are rising above expectations. Out of the NCAA notables in that draft, I would say he ranks behind only Kyle Connor.
  3. Kid respects Parise too much; he doesn't want to break his record
  4. Only setting people up all weekend. No goals... what a bust.
  5. To be quite honest... anything can be said when the player haven't even played a single NHL game yet. It is far too early to say Nylander would not need to be sheltered.
  6. I really wanted Konecny at the draft. After seeing Boeser score the way he does though... I think we made the right pick.
  7. Would be interesting to see where Benning had him ranked in the draft. By repeatedly saying he "fell" to the Canucks implies he had him ranked before 23rd.
  8. This is much better. Did not know to make it like that.
  9. He has very good passing too (at least in the highlights). Might be an underrated aspect of his game.
  10. https://m.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=330&v=pITc91M6MMU&ebc=ANyPxKp6g-xdWeCXZ6eGyoapZL_qN0BiYdgju2DXihUMHkADqgqAPu1CU-RHWovjHg4QzlGKCJO2TUDG8VBVpNWs_9y6kMkbbQ Nice.
  11. I think the top line is Debrincat with Matthews and Tkachuk. Boeser and Schmaltz plays with McInnis (spelling might be off).
  12. https://mobile.twitter.com/coreypronman/status/678058108615311360?ref_src=twsrc^tfw Despite having no points, singled out along with Schmaltz as being deadly all game.
  13. 1st unit pp, but he does rotate between 2nd and 3rd lines (might be to get them going offensively).
  14. 3 points so far at the start of the 3rd. 2G and 1A.
  15. What a great play by Schmaltz and a better effort by Boeser to score that.
  16. Seems to rotate between 2C and 3C (based on face-offs taken). However, he plays on the 1st PP unit and seems to be buried by a front-loaded top line during 5v5.
  17. How is his defensive game and does he PK at all? I know his plus-minus is insane right now, but that could be misleading due to deployment etc. Thanks for the gifs again!
  18. Interesting stat... +19 for Brock's season so far (while playing on a team without Demko)
  19. Best part is the announcers raving about him haha.
