Post-Game Talk: Expos

[IDvsEGO]

When I refer to a north-south player I generally mean the kind of forward who generates much of their offense quickly, on the rush.

East-west is cycle player who does better once they have possession in the O zone and specializes in sustained offense.

Jagr, Nylander, Kakko, Dubinsky, Anisimov, these are east-west players.

Matt Cullen, Chytil, Gaborik, Grabner, Zibanejad, Pouliot, these are north-south players.

It may very well be the 'wrong' definition, but that's how I use it.

That's a very very unusual definition of east west.
Usually east west is considered as cross ice passes, and more of a finesse game.

North South is heavy, cycle, a very straight forward game.
Jack Hughes and Marner are "east /west" where crosby would be considered N/S

If Hank started last night's game, and it was on a Saturday night, the result would've been a 7-6 comeback win.

To be fair, he's well over 40 years old, hasnt played in years, and has a heart issue. But i still agree we would have won with Henrik in goal.

The only reason why I think about Dale Purinton is because while he was on the team, they once showed during a pregame show that a fan from Japan had a giant Dale Purinton tatto on his arm or leg where he was skating through fire.

It was so random. I think about that guy a lot. Why did he get a Dale Purinton tattoo? Didn't he know how much of a nothing-burger Dale Purinton was?

It keeps me up at night.

Purinton's likeness appears in a very popular Japanese commercial for dishwashing detergent.
