FKA Roo Returns...Still A Contrarian Apparently
Sjo was very good in his brief time with the Rangers but had a much higher pedigree being a first round pick. The Coyotes expected more goal scoring a la Grabner.

This kid is a player. Smart/Size/Wheels.
How many mistakes has he made? Not many. Always seems to make the smart play.

Solid player. We have a knack for drafting role players in the backend of drafts. I think there is room for growth but he definitely belongs in the NHL now. The Sjostrom comparison is very fitting regarding style of play and productivity.
Everyone splooging over the Rempe goal seems to ignore that Edstrom basically did the lords work to set him up.
Theres more offense there than we've seen.

He's starting to have offensive impact, and that's what's really promising. HIs decision-making was never in question for me. For a while, it was whether his smarts and fundamentals would translate to actual point production.
It's easy to forget because it feels like he was a prospect forever. @Ola and @nyr2k2 always had really high praise for Ed when he was in Sweden.
I remember the book on him was that he'd take some time to adjust to whatever level he was playing at, but once he did he'd blow through his expectations. IMO it feels like that best-case-scenario 3rd line upside is still there.

Rempe stole the puck in the D zone started skating it up, passed to Ed, Ed took the puck passed to himself off the boards, threw it nicely over to Rempe who was steaming toward the net, Rempe took the pass stickhandled and then roofed it off the backhand at speed... It was a very nice play by both of them. Not giving Ed his due is as bad as trying to say Rempe wasn't the one who did the most work on this goal...
Carrick stole the puck and then passed it to Rempe who passed the puck to Edstrom who then proceeded to take a dump on both Ottawa defenders.
The tuck was nice because it wasn't a gimmie but the lions share of the work done there was by Edstrom.
People are splooging over the Rempe goal because he fights so people like him more than the actual good player.

I could see him giving us more offense.
I've mentioned this before: that 6'8" or so frame has to be a nightmare to grow into. He's going to get less awkward in the next couple of years as he continues to bulk.
I'm 6'2" and I was a lanky bastard until I was like 27. Imagine being 6'8".
That's going to allow him to make more plays in tight spaces like he did last night.

If they flipped roles, with Rempe feeding Edstrom, I doubt Big Adam would've made the kind of move Rempe pulled. That was a goal-scorer's move. Everything I've seen with Edstrom thus far says he would've tried a conventional deke and five-hole move.

I'm going to have to look again, but I could swear Rempe was patrolling the slot in the NYR zone, Carrick was pressuring, Sens player threw it out front and Rempe was there. It was a very nice play by Ed, but even if Rempe didn't intercept it, he did the lion's share. Started the play up ice in the D zone, and made the play at full speed and skilled finish in the O zone. I think it's wild that some people have to try to minimize anything Rempe does.
While acknowledging two objective facts (1) Rempe is not good at ice hockey & 2) It was a very sweet goal so credit to him for scoring it) one player assuredly did most of the work on the goal. I'll leave it to the tape to figure that one out...
I really enjoyed watching Edstrom develop in Sweden. He played all over the lineup and was successful wherever he played. If you put him on the first or second line he wasn't going to rack up points, but his forechecking always proved problematic for the other team and opened up space for his linemates. Yet he had the good skating and decent mitts so he wasn't a black hole. And while he's not a bruiser, he'll take the body when the opportunity presents, like we saw last night.
He's just a solid player across the board. Far from a star, but the kind of guy that any good team can find a role for.

I didn't think it was necessary since I prefaced the post very clearly with "It was a very sweet goal so credit to him for scoring".
No one would feel the need to diminish the good things he might do if the fan club didn't glaze him for every positive thing that happens to the team.

Not sure why that gives anyone the need to diminish the play, I feel no need to diminish any of our players.
@GoAwayPanarin this clip clearly shows a Sen throwing it to the slot where Rempe intercepted it. The replay shows it crystal clearly. But yes Carrick was down there pressuring. Nice play by the entire line.

I just watched the play again. I think you're right in that a Sens player threw it out of the scrum and into the slot, where Rempe was to pick it up. It seemed Carrick rimmed it towards the back of the net, but then MSG switches cameras, and the next thing I see is the puck squirting out while Carrick was turning with his back to the play.

The replay here shows it clearly. A sens player threw it out to the slot where Rempe was waiting.

This might be tallist of me but I've always said Brian Boyle.
He's very sound, should be good on the PK, can play anywhere, probably has 15-15 offense, and while he's not a nut, he'll step in if something goes down.

Similar size and build playing a similar game, nothing wrong with that comparison.
I like Edstrom and I enjoy him getting some positivity.
