Keeping an eye on some random players around the league. At the 10 Game Mark.



Gabe Vilardi started the season on the wing, after getting moved away from C. Started in the bottom 6. Was moved to 2nd line. He has now been moved up to the 1st line and is now playing with Kopitar and Kempe. Goal and an Assist last night vs St Louis. Vilardi now has scored a goal in his last 4 games. He leads the Kings in points, and Goals. He is tied for 2nd in the league in Goals with Svechnikov. 11GP 8G 5A 13P. Amazing start for a player who was counted out by many for the back injury after being drafted.



Matt Berniers was moved off the first line in Seattle. He had another rassist in his last game vs the Pens this past weekend. He is 2nd on the team in scoring behind Jaden Schwartz. 10GP 5G 5A 8 Points. At 19 yrs of age he is on pace for a 65Point season.



Jacob Middleton remains on the top pairing in Minnesota with Jared Spurgeon. He is tied for the best plus minus among on the team. 3rd on the team in Blocked shots.



Evgeny Dadonov has yet to register a point for the Habs this season. He was a healthy scratch in the Haba last game along with Drouin. Dadonov along with his $5 million dollar cap hit was expected to be a key member of the top 6 with PP time for the Habs



Tyler Motte had another assist vs the Panthers on Saturday night. He has more points then Claude Giroux, Tim Stutzle and Thomas Chabot for the Sens. Great numbers for a bottom 6 players with a $1.3 cap hit.



Jesper Bratt with another goal and an assist vs Columbus. He leads the Devils is scoring, and is on pace for 131 point season!!!!! 9GP 4G 11A 15P. Currently 5th in the league in scoring.

Bruins are an absolute unit. We have to play our A game on Thursday

 

[Paulie Walnutz]

This Sharks/Ducks broadcast is absolutely awful

 

[FireGerardGallant]

The Bedard Tank is real neither the ducks or the sharks wanna win this game

 

[EdJovanovski]

Canucks lol

Like nails on a chalkboard.

Hopefully Leah Hextall replaces Sam when he retires...............................................................................................

 

[Leonardo87]

Leah Hextall, such a lackluster call, lol…

”Stolarz with a little fist bump……. There you have it”

She sounds like she’s announcing baseball. Have some energy.

St. Louis and Colorado better get it going and knock Dallas out of a playoff spot.

 

[Paulie Walnutz]

Sharks down 2-1 in the shootout with Karlsson the last shooter up……”And if Karlsson scores the game is over.”……. Save …….Ducks off the bench………and the Ducks win.” Please end this experiment. I can’t wait till she does play by play for EA one day.

idk sounds like she's giving the shootout all the gravitas and energy it deserves

Posting my real opinion would probably earn me a ban.

if the Caps and Pens are middling and the Flyers are doomed to fail according to Flyers fans that have watched their team outgunned in every game and saved by Hart, then the division is down to NJD, NYI, CAR, and NYR. Carolina should be a shoe in. Hmmmmm.

But it's non-sensical? Karlsson scoring would have just prolonged the shootout. He wasn't going to win anything for the Sharks.

What's your qualification? I'm a woman.

This sounded like a comedy skit... or like she was doing something on her phone/computer multitasking during the game... Embarrassing.

I don't care man or woman that is purely pathetic. I've seen better effort and passion from high school kids doing play by play for the schools soccer team.

No one in their right mind can watch/hear that and say, OK this is great... keep it going

mind numbing stuff

Ridiculous.. I had the game on mute from the third period on and it looked like it was an exciting game lol.
Good way to lose the real hockey fan that stays up until 1am to watch a west coast game on espn.

'Hey Timmy, they have hockey on ESPN, I've never experienced it before.... lets see how it is'

<insert Leah Hextall PBP >

I can 'understand' for ESPN+ but if the game is on National ESPN, this is a maaaaaassive problem.

p.s. E.J. Hradek and Weeksie were great on NHLN

Next Rangers game is an ESPN+ exclusive game. But don’t worry they won’t give Leah a Rangers/Boston game. Rangers and Bruins fans would unite and sharpen their pitchforks and attack the ESPN building. lol

Just to say I had no issues with her it was a joke up until now but that call last night was embarrassing.

 

[will1066]

Mod warning: Criticizing Leah Hextall is allowed, because it is deserved. But there will be no disparaging Emily Kaplan, for personal reasons.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

if they need a woman to call the game Aj Mczlsesco is pretty good idk why she only calls like one game a year.

 

[Brooklyndevil]

Been getting trolled here the past week about the Fitz link from some posters, lol.



Someone did say maybe Brady's fiancée is from NJ, that would make sense too

bruh.... We've already been down that road a month ago. lol

Believe it or not, the third pair had the same amount of ESTOI as the first.

As top-9 player I think he is better option than Holtz and Boqvist for now. (I like Holtz, please don`t shoot me)

 

[aufheben]

Canucks lol

Again you have to provide context with the Canucks. If you said “Lightning lol” it would take me at most three guesses to figure it out…

The Canucks, though, it’s like more than possible chess moves. This is a team that named a goalie its captain, a team with jerseys that have exhausted the entire electromagnetic spectrum, a team that depressed a guy who left the Soviet Union, a team that’s its own rival, a team that literally cloned its best player, a team that was bad Mark Messier, a team that the New York Rangers won a Cup against, a team with one too many syllables for its Canadian chant, a team that between Roberto Luongo and Cory Schneider chose neither, a team that has 4 completely unrelated logos,
