Guddie!!!?? What-EVER!!!!

Guddie!!!?? What-EVER!!!!

Yea he was slow as dicks here


I think this test is akin to when Carkner was found to have the hardest shot on the sens - there’s so many variables in game that these stats in a controlled environment don’t mean that much. Carkner can rocket the puck but couldn’t get that shot off in play and was inaccurate. Gudbranson can haul ass when he gets going but it takes him to long too get there or make decisions

This kid's stick work is already so good.

The summer before he joined Calgary there were some media spots with him and a whole new training regime focused on skating and mobility. He talked about he's on the verge of being pushed out of the league after his stint here if he didn't re-invent himself a bit. I know a lot of those are fluff, but it did seem bigger to me that he was committed to doing whatever he could to improve on his main limitations.

Yeah, he's gonna be killing penalties until his last day in the league. How valuable is it to disrupt the other team's PP time after time? Especially in the playoffs, when goals are hard to come by.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

I love Stutzle and believe he'll be a top 3-5 player in the league soon.

But Sanderson will be our MVP.

These stats was used by a Habs fan to, "prove" that Guhle is better than Sanderson.

Guhle is good and will be a big part of the Habs getting back to respectability but seeing each of them in 1 preseason game validated my thought Sanderson is just at another level.

Oh, he's several levels up.

Athanasiou is better than McDavid, I never realized! We should have traded for him!

Oh, he's several levels up.

We shouldn’t even be measuring in “levels” lol

good for them, let them enjoy Guhle, it will all shake out over the next couple of years

 

[Bileur]

I’m definitely a fan of Guhle and was hoping he the Islanders would miss the playoffs so the pick might be in the range to select Guhle or Jarvis. I’d be stoked to add him to the prospect pool.

That said, he’s not close to Jake Sanderson.

It's kind of weird, because outside of the more offensive minded D jumping into the rush, if a Dman is going 24 mph, it's probably because he's caught behind the play and trying to get back in position, I'm not seeing how you can read good or bad out of that list, I guess it's a positive that they can go that fast if needed, but ideally you never have to if you're making the right reads.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

I'd be happy with Guhle on my team. He'll be a good one. I prefer Sanderson but MTL should be happy with Guhle at 16OA

 

[dumbdick]

I think Sanderson is going to win a Norris trophy at some point and maybe sooner than people think. I think he's every bit as good as Chychrun, right now, and Jake is sitting at 30:1 on draftkings for the Norris.

Any betting sites offering a line for sanderson to win Norris this year?

 

[aragorn]

Sanderson has been great from day 1 & just continues to get better, I expect at some future point when this team is contending he could win a Norris. Good to see Chychrun scoring, he has a pretty good shot from the point something that has been missing in past yrs. Both these guys along with Zub who is also off to a good start should reduce Chabot's minutes but he has to start making better plays & improve his decision making. It's great to see Ottawa finally has a very good top 4 that is contributing offensively.

 

[Flamingo]

He's great on the rush, but I didn't get the impression he was this fast. He's a real beaut.

 

[BondraTime]

Legitimate Norris caliber D for the next 10 years.

Best move, by a very large margin, the Sens have made in the past 15 years was drafting Sanderson.

I remember that you were convinced he was the guy Ottawa was drafting at 5 and when it happened I was pissed they didn't get another scoring forward. He totally is the smartest pick they've made since Karlsson

I had made a proclamation with Zdeno Chara on his second year with Ottawa that he will win Norris one day. Posted on the old forum and got laughed out lol. Same thing with friends. He went on to become a Norris runner-up while he was in Ottawa and won it with Boston.

I will take another leap, I usually don't, but I see a young Scott Niedermayer in Sanderson. He doesn't have the shot from the point that seem to find its way (yet), but everything else in the manner he moves and plays with ice water in his veins along with the innate decision making. Luckily, he is only 21 and far from a finished product, I am super excited to follow his developmental curve. He will turn a lot of heads this season.

What a sick drive he made to the net...if he wasn't pushed into the goalie he was just walking around him and sweeping it into an open net.

 

[BradyTkachucky]

What a stud, the rest of the league will soon find out just how good he is.

 

[Ouroboros]

Looked like a young Kaiden Guhle out there tonight. Wow.

 

[FunkySeeFunkyDoo]

Was drinking beer and eating potato chips watching the game, and sometime in the 2nd period I thought “I have the opportunity to watch Jake Sanderson play hockey for the next 9 years…. I’ve gotta start taking better care of myself.”
