KyGuy123 Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 (edited) He is something special. Faster than I thought he was going to be and I don’t even think we’ve seen his hands yet.

guntrix Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Looks like the Calder is Kaprizov’s to lose but I’m hoping Hogs can be in the final 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanucks25 Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Has a long ways to go but love what I'm seeing so far. Can't help but root for guys that have the skill but have the motor of a plug that's desperately hanging onto his spot on the team. Virtanen could learn a thing or two.

It might not be his first choice but it’s the kind of handle that could stick when his teammates hear it! Also like Pig. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be worse, like almost any other type of cancer for example. Good luck to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanfor42 Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Hogs set up of Pearson last night was a clear sign that the kid is going to be good. Bank pass to himself, laid out and one hand pass to Pearson on the tape. Boy, that's not an everyday play for most guys. Great to see. Is he capable of a point per game pace playing on Bo's line? Hard to say but if so he could be a Calder candidate. Wouldn't that be something... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.I.A.H.N Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Hoglander has shown alot of really good things But the thing that impresses me most is his passing He just seldom misses his target......always on the stick and never too hard or too soft Seems to be able to hog the puck too!~ Not bad for a rookie! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, its uncanny how he gets those quick passes in tight. Do you think his shot will come in? He seems to really rip it albeit off target.

dpn1 Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 This guy has really taken me by surprise. I don't think he will be a Calder finalist but he will be a good top nine forward. It almost feels like we had 2 first round picks with Podz & Hogz and Hogz could be the better player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 He's having a nice rookie season but as he gets stronger he's only going to get better. A line of Hogs and Podz with Horvat is very possible next season and will be exciting to watch, the 3 players would complement each other perfectly (very similarly to our top line). 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sedinyoureyesontheprize Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Another brilliant pick by Benning and Co that will be another reason why the man at the helm won’t be replaced anytime soon. Found a player in the second round that by the way he plays has changed the complexion of our team. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elite hockey IQ/vision, instant reactions, awesome hands, and the easygoing layback attitude of a pit bull going after a bone. And yes, JB's ability to provide a continuing series of players like Brock, Petey, Huggy and Hogs producing like stars while collecting ELC salaries ensures that the JB hating "realistic fans" will be fabricating pretexts to whine about him for years to come. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Kind of reminds me of a very skilled Jannik Hansen, awesome pick 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
