Prospect Info: Nils Lundkvist: Part III

[The Crypto Guy]

WOW! The hockey IQ on that defensive play is absolutely through the roof.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Another goal for Nils today, Lulea leads 1-0

Is that the record breaking point?

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Looked like a mix of Kakko on the steal and Panarin on the shot. I just used Panarin because it seems like he's the only one who can consistently shoot. Maybe Kreider now but he's more of rebound, tip-in guy.

 

[Miamipuck]

That's a play Fox would make.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Is that the record breaking point?

It is. And he does it against the team where his dad is the GM

 

[SnowblindNYR]

I wonder how his dad felt about that.

 

[The New Russian Five]

That's a play Fox would make.

What's impressive is that with such a big ice surface, there is more ground to cover as a D to get there and he still got there in time. This kid is showing al the signs of being a stud. Would be foolish to trade him with out seeing him play some games in a Blueshirt and see what we have.

 

[ColonialsHockey10]

The defensive read is the highlight of that play.

 

[Off Sides]

Someone a little bigger would have made that play and then went on to taunt and fight the other team.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

we finally drafted a bonafide sniper!

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

I wonder how his dad felt about that.

I asked him about it once. But when Nils is on the ice, the family roots for Luleå. They all grew up supporting Skellefteå but things are different now.

Funny story: In his first season in the SHL, Nils played together with his uncle (mom's side): Jan Sandström

I wonder if he cheers in the box when Nils scores and the owner gives him stink eye.

That would be hilarious.

FWIW:

Lundkvist is now 1st in points and 2nd in goals among D-men aged 20 and younger. His 29 goals are trailing only Tomas Johnsson (former Islanders defenseman) who had 31 in 4 seasons for MODO between 1977 and 1981.

Lundkvist has 4 games left to close that gap.

 

[CupSeeker]

great goal in every way, anticipation, quickness, speed, shot, boom!

When I went to school in Pittsburgh through a club at the school I got tickets to a Steelers game. Owner's box. I don't like the Steelers and I was also happy to see the Browns make it a closer game. So the Browns scored and I cheered briefly. I'm not sure if anyone caught that.

 

[Slurpeelover27]

World class goal! Beautiful watching Nils dance up the ice. Kid got a chance to be a real stud. Not many can skate and shoot like that.

Any idea what the GPG average was in the late 70s SEL? I’d imagine scoring was higher over there as well?

Wow. That adds quite a bit of context. Thanks!

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Wow. That adds quite a bit of context. Thanks!

I honestly didn't even think about this until you brought it up. So thanks for this.

Took me a few minutes to calculate based on old standings, but the internet is a wonderful thing

 

[BroadwayStorm]

Statboy Steven is underrated

 

[aufheben]

In several years we’re going to have the best defense in the NHL.

Who the hell will be able to match this?

Lindgren-Fox
Miller-Lundkvist
Robertson-Trouba
Jones-Schneider

We may have only like 2 centers in the entire organization but holy shit does the defense not need to be worried about.

Yeah, pretty amazing.

If everyone works out it will be a roster like peak Nashville/St Louis- built from the back outwards
