Maybe if he scored in the NHL, his thread wouldn't be so quiet

I`ve notion he will score tonight!
In Filip we trust! ))

 

[Harbour Dog]

Looked a little physically outmatched at times tonight, but that's to be expected. Never had a bad game all in all.

The way he tries to use his body though; he's gonna be something else for defenders to deal with when he grows into that frame.

I have a feeling that him being picked at 21 is going to look like larceny not too far down the road.

Kid can’t legally drink until 2021. Let that sink in for a minute.

loved when he went around stamkos and powered his way towards the goal on the rush. chytil can play a power game at this level despite being physically underdeveloped and only a teenager. whats he going to look like in a few years?

I think a lot of that depends on the kind of players he is working with.

The kid is very much a stem cell right now. He could mold his game in any number of directions based on coaching and how he fits with the players around him.

Consequently, playing Chytil with the right linemates during the rebuild will be important.

In the US (you guys are weird about that btw ), I'm sure he'll legally have a few great Czech beers at home in the summer.

Our age was raised because of a few major interest groups arguing that it would cut back on drunk driving accidents. Without taking sides (I tend to oppose it) it has empirically been shown to reduce fatalities.

In any event, not many follow the rule, especially professional athletes. Chytil will get to be an adult with this team.

14 SOG in the 3 games since being called up. I feel like that's how many Buch has had this whole season

Well, Buch is more a playmaker than a scorer

I was obviously being hyperbolic, but even as a playmaker Buch needs to figure out how to get more shots on net. His shot is underrated and he's not a good enough playmaker to solely focus on that part of the game

I could look across the entire NHL and not find a better player for him to have on his line than Mats Zuccarello.

I see a number of young teams struggling in this league. To me, the idea that Zucc needs to go because he's part of the old guard makes zero sense. There is no player that wears that sweater any prouder than Zucc. And the way he came up is a great example for any young player.

 

[Ori]

Zucc aimed at the wall behind the net @Pizza when he saw Chytil unmarked alone there 120% certain about that, so both Hayes & Zucc got a point out of it.

Love that McD could and should have blocked Chytil from that chance.

Seeing McDonagh-Girardi as a pairing cracked me up

Seriously. Poor, poor McD. Finally gets away from Girardi and then our team collapses, he gets traded to Tb and paired with Girardi again. They seem like they're buddies which is nice probably but the poor guy has been in the league for years now and has primarily been with a guy who doesn't compliment his play style well his entire career.

And yet NHL coaches continue insist that they do, despite all evidence to the contrary.

In all, (with one game remaining) Chytil has 34 points in 52 games of pro hockey this year.

Very impressive and I feel we had a good draft last year. Both our first rounders playing pro-hockey in their D+1 and not looking out of place, is great.

It's still an old boys club in the NHL. In baseball you're starting to see guys with more analytical approaches make it into the managerial ranks, so maybe we'll see it in hockey one day. The problem, I think, is that for as popular as hockey is, it's still such an insular community. Everyone grows up playing in various Canadian leagues where everyone knows everyone, or they come from MN programs where it's the same story, the USNTDP, etc. Everywhere that kids play, it's littered with former players and management types espousing the same philosophies that they grew up with. Hard cycle to break. These kids learn hockey a certain way, and then 20 years later when they get a coaching gig, they do it the way they know.

He held his own against Barzal last night. Very very impressed!

Chytil is going to be a heck of a player and it will be from day 1 next season. Duguay said it perfectly once he calms down a bit with the puck around the net he’ll start putting up pts. He’s getting to the areas he needs to get to. He’s winning puck battles. His skating is fantastic. He’s only going to get better and better. Kid will still be 18 when the 2018-2019 season starts crazy.
