Karlsson's speed on EN goal

[CCM19]

Karlsson is on his way to an easy 3rd Norris the way he's played this year already.

 

[Twist and Shout]

Never surprised to see goals like this from Erik, he's immensely talented.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

I feel like that kind of speed and effort is on display from all kinds of players many times during a game. Hell, you see that from your average fourth-liner chasing after a dump-in.

Well ya, of course I agree with you.

But not from a standstill after blocking a shot.. and then literally going THROUGH 3 players in a straight line.

Listen, I didn't even think that ENG was special anyway(cause its EK) and I wouldn't have made a thread too, but for you to say that it's common to do what EK did and to compare it to a dump in is just funny.

Domi is extremely fast and Karlsson caught up after brushing off OEL with Domi already ahead.

why? plays you don't see often should be posted on the main board for all to enjoy

I appreciate it too, but other fan bases are getting annoyed and get back at us errrr chance they get. Vicious cycle everytime he makes a mistake.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

The OEL vortex made me laugh too

 

[Sureves]

He's second in PK time among defencemen on the Senators so far this year.

Hopefully all of these myths will start to disappear.

To be fair it doesn't matter how many PK minutes he has, just as it didn't matter in 2012 or 2015. It's just the coach's choice on utilization.

What's worth mentioning however is that he has been an exceptional defensive player to start this season.

Lol, me too and I love OEL

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

He really wanted that empty net goal

 

[The Expert]

Good for him?

Nice goal. Not too flashy but a smart delay on the shot.

The contrast is predictable but funny.

can't really let other fanbases dictate what is worthy of being posted.

you find all types of fans in all fanbases who either like it or don't

If some people are bothered by it they can just not watch the video

I am not a fan of either team or any of their rivals

But Okay

 

[MastuhNinks]

Just looks like a normal ENG to me.

Normal except for the fact that only a handful of guys could have beat Domi to that puck from that position.

 

[HavlatMach9]

his movement is looking a little like pre-injury. it's very cool to see

 

[WesMcCauley]

Karlsson has looked great so far this season. Not a Sens fan but watched pretty much all of their games so far this season and Karlsson has been impressive! Sick speed on that empty netter aswell!

 

[Sureves]

Ya there's a noticeable improvement in his skating as compared to last year, really exciting stuff for Sens fans and frankly the NHL as a whole.

He's playing like he did in early 2013 season.

 

[StupidityKills]

His muscling off the opponent and kicking the puck to his stick (while preventing Domi from tying up his stick) was the cherry on top of this spectacular play.

Best empty net goal of all time.

That was definitely impressive. I fully expected him to get tied up.

 

[General Zodd]

I want to marry that ****ing Erik Karlsson he is that good!...................

 

[Purity*]

He'd win the Norris if he put half that much effort into playing defense. I imagine he'll end up losing again to a 50-60 point defender who's actually elite defensively.

 

[Cotton]

What's worth mentioning however is that he has been an exceptional defensive player to start this season.

Except for when Auston Matthews made him look like Luke Schenn.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

Erik Karlsson PK tonight:

5 minutes. Arizona scored only once on 5 chances and he wasn't even on the ice for it.

Karlsson is also second in the league in +/- with 7.

You gonna need to find new excuses, bud. This is the best overall start in EK's career.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

Except for when Auston Matthews made him look like Luke Schenn.

Well, if he never made a mistake then he'd be best defender of all-time.

Also, thats the same game EK took Matthews and your team for a walk in OT and made game winning play, right? Ya.

 

[DonskoiDonscored]

Tied with league lead in points already

No he's not.

 

[Erik Alfredsson]

He's second in PK time among defencemen on the Senators so far this year.

Hopefully all of these myths will start to disappear.

You know they won't. 4 games in this season and besides one goal by Auston Matthews, he's been pretty much perfect defensively, breaking up plays every time he's on the ice, but of course the haters who more obviously than ever haven't watched a single game of his this year have to comment about how he's terrible defensively.

 

[StupidityKills]

No he's not.

Him and Marchand at 7?
