Prospect Info: Kevin Korchinski, 7th Overall, 2022 NHL Draft

Exactly.

The overreaction of the play of a kid who is holding his own even though he's been thrown to the NHL wolves on a terrible team, as well as the agenda to blame Richardson for anything and everything, is way over the top.

I've blamed Richardson for the Richardson things and Tinordi for the Tinordi things and you've constantly insinuated that I'm pushing a narrative.

The Richardson things? The Tinordi things? Every other post? Sounds like a narrative to me.

 

[statswatcher]

people talk about "narratives" in these circles as though it were something negative. you also see the word "agenda" used interchangeably. really what they mean is someone is persistently saying something they disagree with.

if you aren't just blandly listing game results and box scores, if at any point you look at two events separated by space and time and connect the two with things like causality or symbolism, then you have created a narrative. it's completely facile to even point it out when put in these terms. you don't accomplish anything by it, and typically you are guilty of the very thing you are decrying. you are much better off finding a narrative that you believe is true, and arguing it against other narratives.

You definitely see what you want to see. Narratives within narratives. We're through the looking glass.

I'd argue Bobby is actually legally blind, because he doesn't see a damn thing when it comes to this sport.

Truthfully, I can understand you and others not liking a bottom pairing dman who at least can use his body and reach to his advantage but this thing with firing Luke by the armchair coaches has reached the preposterous level.

Repeating things over and over at every opportunity doesn't make it so.

Go ahead and show me where I said they should fire LuRich?

Tinordi isn't a bottom pairing D on any team in the NHL, including the worst team in the league, the Hawks.

Defending Tinordi is just an absolutely amazing display of hockey ignorance.

Did Kevin Korchinski legally change his name to Jared Tinordi when I wasn’t looking?

Well the NCAA is goibgvthecwYvofvpaying student-athleyes and allowing g NIL's...The CHL teams pay bupkiss to the kids playing tgere butxtgexCHL 3 leagues are beibg sued by union of over 18 year olds for higher pay abd NIL rights..

This is Alk gettingvsmei'₩ro whenever they play now...so goibg to AHL by any over 18 should be allowed..

Nice article from Powers here on Korchinski.

Korchinsji never proved even in Juniors that he is anything special shooting g the puck for goals...SSIST guy ...yes...but washed beneficiary of Seattle's deep forward talent pool when he pkayed there?

To me the jury is still out...Not a physical shutdown D...not a greater goal scoring g D...so the best we can hope for is that his decisuon-makibg and reads and Focus improve.. that he skatesxweel is not the issue...what he does with that skating is the question...can he dominate and "direct" the attack ...if he cannot lead transitions...get pucksvoutceasiky..and create passes to open gugs,then he probably will not meet original expectations.

Let us see if he gets nit "back on track" I Rockford...but gets 1 Reliable defensively.. 2 Move pucksvout of deserving the d-zone to "direct " cpubner-atrtacks with his speed..if he cannot do tgese things,he will be pretty ordinary and maybe useless.

I think the Fans hawe has swung to Levshunov being the 1D of the future.. not .KK ...not sure Kk can "difference-make" either offensively or defensively...notcsaying 7th overall bust,but how significant an impact he will have /ceiling is very debatelable

I do not see highlight reel puck control and danger creation on attack ..not do I see shut the door defense..

So what is he?

Give me eitger a puck control magician,a D with a real goal scorong pint shot ,or a defensivexshutdown dman...A n alk-roubd two-way reliable dman who doesz average or just above average is pk..if that is all he gets to be,but is hardly essential and certainly not so special as to be hard to replace.

At #7overalk you expect sone much better than average impact ,can he get to tgatcexpectation level?

Ok...show me.

Otherwise ...I justxwilk not get enthusiastic about just anotger guy ceiling pitentual...

Show me ,KK that tge Hawks did not draft just anotger average dman...if you even stick i the Show after "donibatibg" I the AHL...IF you can even do that.

It's shtick. I've seen completely legible posts from him.

It’s honestly impressive he’s kept it up for decades.

 

[shakes the clown]

I'm surprised to hear that people read his posts. I just skip right over them every time. I don't even know if he says things that are interesting or just stupid since I never read his posts. And the reason I don't read them is the length and the format. Nothing to do with substance.

I deal with crazy people all the time at work. Sometimes it's amusing, but usually it's just annoying and time wasting.

The amusing ones are very amusing though. Like the guy who called me looking for a lawyer because his ex-wife and her current boyfriend had somehow implanted an invisible device in the air space around his head and were now talking to him through the device.

He went on with more claims, but that was the one I remember.

Those are usually the guys in the news for something terrible, with a part of the story saying "co-workers said he was acting strangly"....

I don’t even care about the typos. I start to read the vast majority of the posts but when it’s obsessively negative and repetitive I move on. I find myself moving on a lot.
