Then he displays his offensive awareness vs Colarado, perfectly sneaking in and sniping the corner.
-
Same can be said for Virtanen, Schaller, Granlund, Guddy, Pouliout, Hutton, Sutter
-
JV with EP has been a trainwreck, he makes EP play worse, there was a big analysis of this done on TSN a while ago. JV lacks any offensive prowess the last couple of months, better be sending him a message that he should be producing far more offensively, we have enough shutdown guys so if he's going to try and fill that niche we may as well trade him.
-
You don't think JV can skate fast? He won the competition...... Where in the heck did you read that? I said we can get a direct replacement of his skill set; someone that can skate fast and can't handle the puck. "JV, pick up someone that can skate fast and have hands of stone in FA next year."
-
I'd rather keep goldy and trade JV, pick up someone that can skate fast and have hands of stone in FA next year.
-
I said JV and Goldy, package em up and ship them out Both have been Ok this year but the current theme of the boards is to get rid of young players that aren't living up to expectations, so lets get some 2nd rounders.
-
Exactly how I feel about JV as well, but I'm at the point of trade them both for Barzal or someone :D
-
pointing out that he hits the panic button and shoots when it's a bad idea is mindless drivel? Do you want me to go get his # so you can profess your undying love for him, because that's about the only logical conclusion I can come to as to why you would defend his play last night. He made numerous costly rookie mistakes, if it was anyone else they would be flayed by the forums.
-
JV horrible shot attempts on PP and at end of game, cost us a PP and lost the puck at end of game with extra attacker. He needs to sit and reset, he's gotta stop the panic shooting / give aways.
-
Wow, I'd hate to see what you think of JV since he really struggles to hold onto/make a play with the puck at speed, and keeps throwing the puck away in the O zone either by over skating it or not seeing the guy in between him and his target.....kind of like I dunno a young kid in a faster league.
-
EP and BB are friends with NG you don't hear much about JV trying to build relationships. Lazy? he's always back checking, predators game he took a crazy chance trying to tie the game which lead to a goal, he shot the puck point blank like he was trying to win at all cost.
-
Was hoping they would play him more but that roster juggling in Utica is crazy
-
Just..no Goldobin has just as much value as JV, both are young and putting up decent numbers, and Goldobin has faced a lot more skilled player match ups
-
And was directly responsible for a goal with his horrible D zone coverage..... I swear people have blinders on for him.
-
He QB'ed that one PP great last night, I don't think preds had control of puck for 1:30 and we had some great chances.
-
Man is he ever defensively responsible though like the type of guy you want out when you have a goal lead in playoffs
-
You can’t use modern day McDavid in that comparison though. Gretzky now would be using composite stick and be bigger, stronger and faster than he was. Eg. McLaren P1 would outperform a McLaren F1.... but what if we put in the stipulation of using only tech available in that era
-
I believe so this was the move up a division playoff and why he didn't want to bail on his teammates
-
Don't forget one of the dirtiest crosschecks not being punished...only broke a kids back
-
Was at game, he plays as if he's trying to safely make it through the year(was similar to watching a beer league allstar)....just casually floats around stick off the ice and then occasionally offensively burst where he stands out from others. He got knocked on his butt by a 1 handed push which really sold me on the he's drafted and trying to not get destroyed showboating/infuriating other team so they run him. Was definitely a target for hitmen to finish checks on. Lots of heads up passes vs other players blindly throwing the puck like. Had a nice backhand no look pass in front of net, he looked back prior to the pass.
-
I thought he looked better than most in preseason, from an offensive standpoint. Was cruising around perimeter looking for open man or a deflection opportunity similar to how Boeser attempts to get some open space rather than try and fire it though 4 people.
-
He needs a Stamkos now. Boeser has done amazing so who knows
-
Classy. C'mon Rodin is all I can say
-
You have got some pent up anger or pride issues lol, really really gotta be right it seems like. Top 6 role, in 1 game arguably, with less ice time than Dorsett.. That game had everyone out for a good share of TOI How is a 6OA offensive player pick with 2 points tied for last among forwards this amazing second coming of Bure. You guys said he would be putting up 54 Goals and was going to be this amazing offensive asset this year with all his playmaking. JFC man I know you have it bad for him but c'mon. He could easily be swapped with Rodin, Boucher, Goldobin or Archi currently. That's why I wanted to find out why Rodin hasn't been playing, Utica has some firepower now and I'm really curious what happens when you add a healthy Rodin in. JV is worlds better than he was last year and glad to see him hitting. If he improves more next year then we have a legit top 6 on any team.

Still only 1 game, visa issue still?
