Traded Jakob Chychrun (D)

[Cosmix]

Was mulling it over this morning and I think these pairings would be killer:

Chabot - Zub
Sanderson - Hamonic
Chychrun - Brannstrom

Spread out the icetime a bit more and you literally have three excellent pairings on the ice all game long and the opposition just sits there crying.

That would be a good start. It keeps the existing pairings together.

This was Phil Kessel during the 2017 ECF when he kicked our asses:

I remember Phil Esposito talking about the guys in his time who were jacked were always the ones getting injured for whatever reason. His explanation? YOU CAN'T HURT FAT

Maybe Chychrun should start downing melted gallons of ice cream while binging on Netflix to lessen his injuries??

That's my methodology!

Just print out a picture of him and put it on the back of your head.

wait

Him and EK on a pair for the Sweden WJC team in Ottawa was a treat

Would be interesting to see if each would become the player they are today had they played together

 

[BoardsofCanada]

was he injured tonight or no? Someone on twitter said he was out after his first game with us.

He was down on the ice for awhile after colliding with the end boards fighting for a puck, skated off favouring his knee, and then stretched it out later on the ice during a break and resumed play.

lmao ssooooo true

Reminder its absolutely normal to question your sexual orientation after seeing a picture of Chychrun

cancel the gym membership, God genes are given directly by the man himself not gained in the gym with super sets, accept it and move on

 

[NyQuil]

Have said this before but shouldn’t all NHL players be jacked? They are pro athletes. They don’t need to be like DK Metcalf level but I would hope Chychrun is the average/standard.

LOL, Mrs_NyQuil was at a golf tournament here in Ottawa and Kyle Turris was there, and they got their picture together.

He looked like a gawky teenager.

I hope this isn't what we're in for every game for the next 2 years lol

This trade still feels so surreal.

Giroux and Chychrun are probably two of the best « available » players in the past few years who were great fits for this team for different reasons, and we managed to get both.

Oh how the turntables.. feels good

Honestly, he's not my type either. My husband is getting in shape and I'm happy for him, but I would be fine if he only got mildly in shape.

Ottawa is a destination people want to come to now.

Not sure how to feel about Mrs_NyQuil sending me this tweet:

Has she photo shopped your head in there?

Good god, he's massive

Almost looks as jacked as Greening was.

I had a beer with Greening back in the day. Massive frame but he wasn't jacked liked that.

 

[JD1]

NHL players don't necessarily need the most jacked physique in terms of a lot of muscles mass akin to body builders, but they need to have the strength and explosive power to handle a sport like hockey. I remember Phillips, dude looked like he had a dad bod but could move on the ice in a way that was surprising at times.

And then you get Rod Brindamour who was locked out of the gym cuz he was a freak

Chris walked by me the other night and we said hello to one another

He still doesn't have a dad bod

I liked his game last night, despite the obvious rust. He really likes to activate in the O zone and push the envelope. We are going to need to learn to cover when he does that.

Not gonna be a big time rock defensively but he will be huge for possession numbers.

 

[PecnoTrunk]

He got hurt last night , did he finish the game strong ?

He looked fine afterwards, no sign of anything lingering too badly.

Also noticed him getting open and looking to get the puck in transition

 

[OmniSens]

Hoping to get an update on his potential injury. Seemed like a rough tweak, but did finish the game.

I think he’s fine. He did post game interviews last and the potential injury didn’t come up

I thought he was pretty solid defensively last night.

He caught up to Patrick Kane and knocked the puck off of his stick to prevent a breakaway.

Another time there was a Ranger close to the net, kind of at the side of it and a player open across the front of the net. Chychrun, being the only player back at that time, made a really nice play. He had a great position between the two players and forced the one Ranger into not having a clean shot as Talbot was quick to cover that side of the net. Then when the ranger made his pass across to the open man Chychrun just intercepted it and moved it out of the zone like it was a regular event.

He is really good with his stick and he naturally takes the proper position when defending. He is fast, strong and smart. Having not yet played a game with his teammates, let alone practice, he was still one of the best defenders on the ice in my opinion.
