Prospect Info: 2018 NHL Draft / Pick #9 - Vitali Kravtsov (RW) - Part VII

[The Crypto Guy]

Different times. Scoring is much higher these days than it was during the 90s — the aptly named “dead pucks era.”

It's higher, but i wouldnt say "much higher". Much higher would be like talking about the 80's scoring.

 

[nyr2k2]

Dead Puck Era was the very tail end of the 90s. For most of the 90s it was high, equal to or higher than today.

Need @Beacon to come tell us that's only possible with steroids.

Those Mat Bodie arguments were absolutely the dumbest timeline.

"I think this kid has a lot of potential to be something"

"Y'all know he's 25, right?"

I miss @Beacon. Where is he? I/we need you!

Honestly, I would have been surprised if Kravtsov wasn't in the lineup as soon as he got there--this is hockey, players play as long as they can skate and shoot the puck--what's a little jet lag compared to some of the things hockey players play through?

Anyway, it's better that he got his "debut" over asap. I think holding him out (regardless of the schedule) would have just added to the anxiety he must be having, given all the crap that has happened over the last two months.

You’re probably right.

For ****s and giggles, top of my head and I'm going randomly from whatever names come up first...Messier, Gartner, Panarin probably, Jagr, Ratelle, Gilbert are all players who could and have had 40-40-80+ type seasons multiple times. Now I'm starting to draw blanks and I don't want to cheat and google it but I can't come up with anymore...pretty sad actually!...lol

Maximus, ako si na mňa mohla zabudnúť?

 

[leetch99]

You standards are too high. Messier had one 40+ goal season for the Rangers and Gartner had just one 80+ point season

Actually Ratelle might be the only guy to go 40+ 40+ 80+ more than once as a Ranger

Poddubny missed out by 2 goals .

 

[BKGooner]

1986 points should come at a steep discount.

 

[EdJovanovski]

Kravtsov just scored his first AHL goal!

 

[Brooklyn Rangers Fan]

Reeeally needed this news tonight.

 

[Lays]

Was very noticeable tonight. Whenever I’m feeling down about VK I always watch this highlight video from the u20 4 nation



kid has unreal skill, hopefully he can look a bit like this in his prime

 

[FireGerardGallant]

This is even better to hear

 

[Doctyl]

This is even better to hear

But what was his heart rate

 

[FoxyClean]

I feel like once we unload Kreids and Strome, Kravtsov might actually have a shot at significant NHL time this season as long as he can keep his head out of his ass.

 

[NYRFANMANI]

Can't we just have both, once?! Good stuff to hear from coach K (actually G).

 

[FIRE DRURY]

He looks happy.

 

[kovazub94]

He looks happy.

Do they also have the hat in Hartford?

I don’t know but I’m about to purchase one on Amazon.

I don’t know but I’m about to purchase one on Amazon.

To give yourself?

 

[FIRE DRURY]

To give yourself?

No, for you bud. It’s the holidays!

What’s your address? And the last 4 of your social?

I’m not worthy!

 

[UnSandvich]

I’m not worthy!

That's a weird address

 

[kovazub94]

That's a weird address

Even weirder SS#.

 

[Blueblood9]

I'm hopeful that Lias and Kravtsov spend a lot of time together honestly.

this post did not age well
