Player Discussion Owen Power, LD (1st overall, 2021) Gentle Giant

[elchud]

People incessantly comparing a play to an animal Tage Giraffe etc, the meme is so played out. If Tage compared Sabremike to a whale for years it would be getting a way different reaction.

Got it, this makes sense. Sorry. I think its enough to let Owen be Owen and not bring animals into this. Its bad enough that many people pluralize his last name.

I do think that Tage and Owen will see eye to eye.

Sir one of my best friends in the world is a whale and a goddamned American hero:

Wawrow could use that, especially the shower part.

Lol seriously. If I was the Sabres media director, I’d have kept that one in the bag.

Wheeler: Trips to Frozen Four, CHL Top Prospects Game, Ottawa and Gatineau

Scott Wheeler's notes and quotes following three trips and viewings of more than 100 drafted, draft-eligible or top free-agent prospects.

LHD Owen Power (Buffalo Sabres): A couple of really nice evades. A couple of moments off the line. A couple of transition sequences. And yet, I didn’t think Owen Power was at his best.

Here’s Pearson on Power’s sophomore year: “He’s made great strides … not only on the ice but off the ice. And just his maturity and leadership, taking charge of a game. And we really needed him to take a step forward this year. His offensive game has just matured. You could see he wants the puck on the stick. He’s driven. He’s a game-changer, and he wants that. But his game, from last year where he was to where he is now, this year, has just grown exponentially. Buffalo is going to get a really good hockey player.”

And here’s Power’s roommate, captain Blankenburg: “You just get so close to someone and you care about these guys a lot. And you see them grow, and it’s something special to see it, especially with Owen. He’s never done laundry before he came here. And his mom and his girlfriend would cook his meals for him. He’s able to do that now. So just maturing and becoming more of a man has helped him off the ice. And just on the ice, you see his confidence all over the ice. I’ll be excited to watch him continue his career on.”

I like it. 9 games to try some different combos.

Long term Sammy/Dahlin and Power/Joker as top 2 pairs are the way. I think Power with a veteran like Pysyk for at least half a season would be good but that may be in the cards for next year.

 

[Buffaloed]

OMG, those are double bladed skates! Didn't they scout this guy?

 

[Zman5778]

.....omg. I actually REALLY like the top 3 pairs.

I'm not sure how I feel about Meriadock and Peregrin on the third pair. Bryson has been better on RD than LD IMO (no stat facts, just by watching) but the idea of Jokiharju getting the initial spin on Power's right is kind of wild.

Not sure how I feel about Power-Joker, but Samuelsson-Dahlin could be the start of something beautiful.

Is he making his debut in tomorrow's game?

And if you're over 40, simply do it in a shower that sprays out Rogaine.

Are you calling the animals weird or the comparisons weird.

It's great how this post is liked by a person named "Dirty Dog."
