Wouldn't say I gave excuses, I just don't like judging prospects negatively at 18 on small sample sizes hehe. I like Jiricek, but I did say he wasn't at his best. He has a pretty unique skillset, let's see if he can pull it all together.
Ohhh yeah, I noticed that too. It's a fine play, but you have to be sure. He's definitively creative out there lol.
Knies had a monster shift at the end there.
I know people aren't going to like it because everyone wants to hate everyone on the Rangers, but Edvinsson really reminds me of Jacob Trouba in a lot of ways.
I’m not seeing the physical play though. Edvinsson seems to try to use his reach and anticipation. He’s an excellent smooth skating defender.
Edvinsson is extremely physical. He's having a tough game tonight, but I wouldn't worry. Looks like he's trying to do too much. He was caught out of position and on his heels on the Berard goal. But again, lots of young defensemen get caught puck-chasing when their expectations for themselves are very high. Edvinsson is best when he stays within himself and concentrates on defense, the hitting game and transition.
It’s easy to see him playing well in the NHL as a smart steady partner for a more offensively biased partner. He should look great with Seider once he gets tht hang of the NHL.
It wasn’t up and down at all. He threw one puck into the middle of the ice from behind the net, but other that he’s been excellent. Helped set up the goal, drew a penalty, and has been sound defensively.
Long time no see, Steven! Great to see you post!
They called it on the broadcast before the start of the game with bad angle goals against Wallstedt.
I thought it happened twice in the first period. And then he just did it again. He shows so much skill on those plays but he never looks up quick enough to make something happen on them
Elite skating ability on full display.
