To Schenn's credit he was ok as a #6 guy, it's just when everyone in that series died and we had to trot him out as our #3-#4 that things went as sideways as expected
 
Looked like Grant barely put his stick on Stone. Stone wiped out cause he was fishing for a call instead of righting the ship.

No. When you shoot the puck you don't just use your hands/wrists – you get your power from your lower body.

When you go to transfer that power from back to front and a player interrupts that process it can completely throw you off.

Also, these are players at the top of their game and other than Phil 'The Thrill' Kessel these players use their 200 pounds bodies to their advantage.

I think you're both right.

On one hand, you'd be surprised how much more damage you can do with one hand on your stick than even using your whole body; if I get under your arm I can use my stick as a lever and spin even the strongest player in the world like a top.

On the other, you can see in the slow-mo replay that Stone looks directly at the ref and makes the 'what the hell' hand motion before catching his edge and spinning out of control.

Kessel is my spirit animal.
 
Them Bolts Jersey's aren't any better either. But at least tolerable. Who the hale is designing all these trashy jerseys.

Bolts jersey is even worse. I don't like the Nashville one but it's different and I kinda like the rock poster homage even though it looks ugly executed. The Bolts jersey is ugly and lazy, just like their other diagonal one. Same with the Canes one. Two ugly Rangers knockoffs, totally shameless. Took 30 seconds to design. But it's to be expected from a city that has a football team that totally ripped off the Raiders!
