Popular Post Rush17 Posted August 30, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 30, 2019 I have found myself watching these videos two dozen times already if not more lol. I thought it would be fun to share these incase you had missed them! First up is the thank you video from The Canucks. The second is a Hoglander video post-draft during the prospects camp. I think the music is part of the excitement. I get hyped everytime I watch these! lol. It's become an almost daily occurrence this week. Enjoy! Please share any videos you think we might enjoy for hyping up next season! 3 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is exciting, but I remember similar vids of shirokov for example. I am going to temper my expectations until he proves he can do this at NHL game speed .

I am going to temper my expectations until he proves he can do this at NHL game speed . He's 18. Eighteen... That should always be the case. With the exception of the one to three truly elite players each year... Nils played the entire year, starting at 17, against 20 & 24 year old men in Swedens best league. Tempered expectations? They did say he kept up speed & physically. Had trouble scoring, vision, using other players at that level. But was not a liability. Still managed 6 or 7 goals, as many assists. Probably digging in, and cutting to the net as we saw in those drills. I expect he'll double that this year. He'll carve up younger comp at the WJC's. But it will be interesting to see if his hockey sense tunes back in against players his own age? What I can say? That type of agility and strength on the puck, control, sheer power, endurance is ridiculous! He'll feast on puck battles. Hockey sense, instinct no, but that athlete is Crosby, Mackinnon stuff. I don't have to temper any projection that there will be a place to deploy him effectively in the NHL. Nils Hoglander wont lose too many races to the biscuit. He may not have the advanced instinct & hockey processing (yet). Raw athletic skill is off the charts! Looks like Arvidsson to me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying for one second he won't be a great player 4 us possibly , and not comparing him to shirokov . I'm saying we have had allot of great prospects that came with exciting YouTube video s that didnt translate well for various reasons , so personally, I try and tempor my expectations more then I used to until I see them play at the NHL level. No doubt he is a very exciting, talented prospect though. I think he could possibly be one of the biggest steals if all turns out well.

Jake scored 43 goals, had wicked speed in his draft year. Never seen it since. The goals that is. Which also reflects your point about hype & expectation. All I was saying? Look to the raw athleticism. Jake still has a job in the NHL on that basis. Which was predictable. Funny enough, I made a very similar observation his draft year. The athlete would translate if the rest did not? This kid is an even more noticeable freak of nature, by a good margin. Which is saying something. As is demonstrated compete level. It really has not much to do with ''video's.'' But that he will have capacity to outcompete most NHL athletes in all the battles that take place. I am saying it gives him a very high floor. Of course just my opinion. Cheers! 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rush17 Posted September 1, 2019 Author Share Posted September 1, 2019 I was recently watching The Boys on Amazon. The entire time I heard someone speak of Homelander (The character above) I kept thinking of Hoglander to myself for some reason.They kind of look alike Maybe that is why. Hoglander will be our highlander! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disgruntler Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Huggy ( that's my handle for Hoglander, fight me) seems to have great lateral movement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

189lb enforcers? Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 (edited) EP40 is a winner. I don’t think we’ve had one since Bure. Lots to be stoked about just because of the winner thing.
