Mattrek Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 It's only one game, but damn I'm impressed. This kids got wheels and good hands, a potent combination. Very noticeable out there and we got him for Jensen. This is one of those steals of the decade. Benning is a cunning fox, what a deal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CANUCK-EXPRESS Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Very impressed with how he used his speed tonight. Would like to see him be more physical but his speed impressed me the most. Drew a couple, maybe more penalties. Hope he keeps it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSG Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Etem played well and also seemed to elevate Vey's game at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckledraggin Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 He looked like he was playing for his NHL life and he definitely was. I don't see him slowing down though, Willie is going full R-tard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guntrix Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Yeah, looked like he was playing a life or death game out there. Hope he keeps up the intensity because it was impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing wrong with having another Sutter-type player, especially one that plays mean and fast. Etem schooled Jarg on that overtime penalty. He should turn out to be excellent and also make Vey look and play much bigger. More like a poor man's Evander Kane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reyezone Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 His speed sets him apart. Now for some chemistry... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dank.sinatra Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 I'd play him with Horvat and Beartschi. Very unproven line but I think the chemistry would be great. sedins - vrbata Baer - Ho - Eat em Burrow - McCann - Hansen Virtanen - Cracknell - Dorsett Prust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must be fun at parties. if you really want me to respond to your suggestion that predicts vey stays in the lineup fine... i know Vey's play has been a little more positive lately and he did make a few nice plays with etem tonight but if he's here after Sutter returns I'll lose it. It's painfully obvious that Linden Vey is not an NHL caliber hockey player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldnews Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 About as much as you could hope for in a debut. Threw a couple nice hits, went hard to the net and drew penalties - including the one that Daniel capitalized on in OT. But beyond his size, speed and upside, he has some really solid intangibles that could make him an excellent two way NHLer. Tonight - another couple of takeaways - giving him 15 in only 20 NHL games this season, playing limited minutes. His +12 turnover differential is really quite impressive (reads plays and anticipates very well), as is the fact that he has such strong possession numbers with only 30.9% offensive zone starts in New York. Huge potential really - and looks like he has the makings of a balanced, versatile game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we got him just at the right time? He is 23 years old and was still trying to find his way. Heading to the minors then traded to his third team. He must have realized his dream was in jeopardy. Hence the urgency in his game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
