Already a post about it. Delete. Go Knies.

The ģamblers may be the reason for the calls. Look who decides extra discipline. You heard it here first!

Smoke there's fire hate to say it league was going under before this deal. Even Tampa struggled to make money until this year.

 

[Blanche Blanche]

It's funny how when it came to the Leafs the league decided to not wait till they heard about the Knies injury before handing out the punishment, while during the Bunting situation they decided to see what the injury was first. Nothing shady about Parros at all lol

f*** Parros. Him and Bettman are a cancer for hockey

 

[Its not your fault]

"gritty and clean"? If you ain't cheatin, you ain't trying. There is no "rough him up but be clean about it" There is only "rough him up but don't take a penalty" Which doesn't mean clean. It means to do as much as you can without the refs noticing. They are going to punch, face rake, spear, jab, trip, kick, knee, elbow and headbutt as much as they can without the ref seeing it.

They also call each other bad names. Things you wouldn't want your children to hear on tv.

That's the game.

Oh yah there is. You might want to watch closer.

However just because you actively try to lower the bar doesn't mean don't push back when the times right that's clean because it's smart. Marchant has gone from dirty to clean. For example he's also increased his value, age will take him down and he will become dirty. Check out the leading PIM leaders in the playoffs career for Pittsburgh Penguins all the top 5 are players you want on the ice. That's not how you win, Jackie Robinson would be a great example, most of the toughest are at that level. Look at Luke Nukem he knows he can take it, so he lines them up. Any extra guesto he puts is how you make them pay. Even Don Cherry would say you hit to hurt not to maim.

Looks like Parrot and Pettman. But since Bettman has allowed Betting he has a fine name lol.

Still makes me laugh at all the posts I've seen the past 2 years goin on about how this guy is a 4th liner, 3rd liner max because he didnt go well over a ppg in the ncaa.

Yet every teams fanbase wanted him for scraps that " we would be lucky to get" suck it hf! Kids a stud

 

[therealkoho]

We can't be tossing out suspensions after the fact because of injury. That's a ridiculous standard to go by.

It seems as if there is no injury there is never ever even a hearing, so why not the reverse in the strange and questionable world of the NHL.

In a majority of the games he's played so far including the playoffs he's been one of the best players for either team. He basically has all the tools so it hasn't surprised me at all.

People will form crazy firm opinions on guys they've barely seen play, especially looking at a couple macro stats. Not to mention even with those, his goal scoring output made steady improvement. But so many folks assumptions about his playing style too have been way off

Knies has the potential to develop into a very special player for the team

Where is that prediction thread again?

All those predictions of ~40 points are looking kind of "I don't wanna overestimate the kid and be disappointed."

I'll go on the record right now and say Knies is getting atleast 70 points with PP time/top-6 this season, Bertuzzi is gonna get hurt at some point and this kid gets the call beside 34/16. Yeah it's preseason I get it but it's a gamble worth taking. It's a hockey IQ thing and he just seems to have it.

I wanted to have Knies on the top line and Bertuzzi helping with depth scoring, but after watching more of Knies, I honestly think he may help get the puck more to Tavares than anyone outside of Marner.

Great board work, has slick hands in tight, and can retrieve pucks.

Really think he and Tavares will match well and be a handful.

I’d honestly like to see him with Tavares and Lafferty on that third line.

Anyone have videos of his pre-season goals so far?

If so can you post them here?


Thanks!

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

There's really no wrong role for Knies to play here, he can play whatever game you want him to and elevate his linemates with his rare and versatile skillset.

That said, I think the best fit for him is in the top 6. He's a guy you want out there as much as possible

Goal from tonight

I know I’ll get laughed at for this but he reminds of Matthews. I’m only talking about the way he moves.

I’m not saying he’s a Hart winning 60 goal scorer lol

The way he steals pucks too and their size and hands

I mean he said he models his game after Auston and they trained together this summer.

This is what I said when I watched him play for the Gophers. Just the way he plays the game at times, especially when along the boards and battling for pucks. Not close in skill level at all but some similarities in play style that are a bit eery.

Knies contends for the Calder… wait for it.
