Player Discussion Morgan Geekie

Fluto had a super article in the Athletic on him yesterday

This caught my eye in article :

Things are coming together for the 26-year-old Geekie. He’s making plays in tight areas. When he has room to shoot, he releases it quicker instead of loading up. Geekie credits Linus Ullmark for the adjustment.

During practice, Ullmark informed Geekie he had a tell on his shot. Ullmark could stop more of Geekie’s shots than he should have because he was taking too long with his release.

“It’s not as easy to overpower goalies as it is to catch them by surprise,” Geekie said. “So if you can get three-quarters of the velocity, you’re able to surprise the goalie. There was a stat on (Auston) Matthews that with his velocity, his shot’s nowhere near the top. But he scores on goalies like the guys with the hardest shots do. He catches goalies off guard because his release is so quick. It’s obviously a world-class shot.”
 
Don’t feel bad - he’s way better than I thought as well
They were showing his stats with Montgomery vs Sacco the other day. There’s an amazing difference under Sacco.

Speaking of Sacco, I wonder if they’re waiting out the season hoping for another coach to be fired? Fans seem kind of meh on Sacco. I wonder if Cam feels the same? I personally don’t care, I just don’t want Sully II.

I assume Ullmark provided him with that helpful info. while he was here?

I don’t know of any magic wonderful coaches out there who are going to be fired

I like Sacco and really that’s all that matters if I’m being honest :laugh:
