Yes, 10-10-20 in 16 GP is pretty good Oskar.

One of, if not the The weirdest first goal for a player ever?
He has certainly earned it though. Im pretty sure he hit the bar with that snipe late in the third aswell.
Very few mistakes from Steen, hes always looking around, very aware. High hockey iq.

Agree super high hockey IQ. Creative with the puck. Not to mention he has a wicked shot

 

[ON3M4N]

Steen as looked good this year in his call-ups with 4 points in 5 games. The only game he didn't record a point was against Vancovuer where he played barley 7 minutes.

The most impressive thing for me though is....wait for it.....his compete level. The guys is always working his ass off and making opponents earn everything. He doesn't give up on plays and isn't afraid to play heavy game despite being 5'9 and 199lbs.

 

[Bruin4]

I like his attitude.

I think he can play top six as well and would love to see him with Bergy and Marchand, I really believe he would excel there, a lot more than smith. I like smith as his motor never stops, but I feel his skill level is more equipped for the Third line.

 

[ODAAT]

not sure I see top 6 skill level but been wrong more than right over the years here. It means he`d be going up against opponents more responsible lines and the ice gets smaller but what I do see is a kid who, almost every shift, does something well that gets noticed and not necessarily just in the O zone.

No fly bye`s letting a player make a simple play, takes good angles when attacking the puck carrier and most of all, willing shift in and out to get his nose dirty and while his 1st NHL goal wasn`t a beauty, he doesn`t score that from the perimeter

 

[mikelvl]

Sixth round, 165th overall. This may save a scouts job. If only they could figure out the first three rounds...

would he be an Axelsson pick? Gotta figure he was/is?

 

[Beesfan]

Can you imagine if Jake DeBrusk had this guy's energy and compete level? He'd be a 30+ goal scorer every year.

 

[ON3M4N]

The Bruins are 4-0-1 this year with Steen in the line-up and 4-0-0 when Steen has played at least 10 minutes

 

[DiggityDog]

Very refreshing to see a young forward come in and force his way into the lineup. I feel like it’s been forever since it happened.

 

[ON3M4N]

Some other stats from Steen's first 5 games this year. Boston with Steen on the ice:

Outshooting Opp: 27-19
Outscoring Opp: 4-1
Outchancing Opp: 27-20

 

[mikelvl]

would he be an Axelsson pick? Gotta figure he was/is?

I would say so, maybe this cancels out the Urho and JFK selections? Assuming he was part of that. JFK was another BIG miss.

 

[Otherworld]

The kids a keeper....

Is JFK actually an Axelsson selection? He played in the USHL the season before he was drafted. Played another full season there, went to BU then turned professional. He was in Sweden before 2013-2014 so maybe Axelsson was a fan of him, but you'd think the bulk of his scouting was that season before his draft and he was here in the States.

And even if he was, it isn't really on the scouts or the club as to why he didn't work out. The story as I understand it is that the Bruins wanted him to play another year at BU as they didn't think he was ready to jump to the pros, but he insisted on signing and left college. We know the rest of the story, but who knows what might have been had JFK taken another year or two to develop, especially physically, at BU before turning pro. The talent was clearly there.

Almost as good as Craig Janneys off his face first goal

 

[Dueling Banjos]

I like his attitude.

Again, love his slow but steady progression since his u20, even u18 years.

get a little better every day and all of a sudden you’ll wake up one day and be a beast. The Brad Marchand story

And a 6th round pick too!

Wasn't Studnickas first also off his face?
