Habs at the World Championships

[Runner77]

Just another Hutson gem:



And now, can you spot the Habs fans?

Its not though. My point is, there isn't really ANY examples of a good PP in recent memory that has 2 D-men on it. And 1st PP units that go from two D-men to one D-men improve. Even if the unit has "two Dmen with 1st unit PP talent". And we're not talking about that, we're not even talking about D-men like that.

Going to have to agree to disagree here as I don't think either one of us is going to budge.

Drafting 18-year olds isn’t scientific….

I saw 1 minute of Lane Hudson highlights prior to the draft and was pounding the table for him at number 26.

I think it does. Its not just about tools, its how they think and play the game. Maybe Mailloux and Hutson are so different that the data is different, but I doubt it. distribution and getting shots for rebounds is more important than a booming shot. 1-3-1 PPs are better because you have more dual threats and can make adjustments depending on how the play develops. You can make having an extra skater on the ice more relevant in more situations.

And for the shot specifically, the booming shot doesn't necessarily help the PP. We saw that with Weber here.

As I said, even if they're on separate waves, they will both help transform the PP. Most of Mailloux's production is on the PP.

Also, who cares if a 1-3-1 PP has more success? Nothing says you can't run a PP with 2D f it works for you.

Most of the successful PPs have movement. So it might not even matter what format you run if the PP is fluid.

I think Hutson will change the PP. The way the NHL is going, two D-man PPs are just less effective than one D-man PPs. Mailloux may be a 2nd unit guy, but his value will be more based on his size and how he uses it.

Not if PP is still coached by Burrows.

Alone in my bed imagining Hutson feeding Caufield and Michkov aux oreilles with Suzy bumping in between. Good god.

Yea, you do take some things players and teams do against weak opposition with an asterisk. But at the same time, you still can appreciate what they do.

Colorado at times ran 3 D on their PP on the way to the cup.

If Lane makes the team Suzuki / Caufield / Hutson seem like a good trio for shootouts

I used to have similar dreams, if you replace the hockey players with the entire female cast of Charmed

This is also a reason that I like Dvorsky

 

[Whitesnake]

Oh my god....I didn't think watching the Worlds would make me think of Sylvain Lefebvre....

Robert Mayer is in net for the Swiss!!!!

 

[Whitesnake]

Bad bad goal Dichow....I know it's Peterka...but still...

 

[Whitesnake]

Bad bounce for Dichow but frankly....I think it's time that he is removed....

 

[DavePeak]

Well that's a name I completely forgot about!

But congrats to him, he just led his team to the Swiss-A championship with a GAA of 1.67 and a %SV of .934 in 15 playoffs games according to hockeyDB.

Edit: He actually scored a goal recently:


And got fined for embellishment during the Finals
