The Knights have been a complete disaster any time Dickinson isn't on the ice tonight. As I type this, Sennecke scores an insane highlight reel dangle against Sam, but frankly I don't think anyone would have played that any better, just an insane skill play by Sennecke.

Up until that goal (less than ten minutes left in the third period), I had been thinking Dickinson was having an excellent defensive game and Sennecke had been pretty bad at even strength. Dude can really build a highlight-reel, I'll give him that.

Here’s a link to the highlight. Unfortunately both our London players got victimized here. But definitely just have to tip your cap to Sennecke on this one.

here's the clip. would agree with you. who even comes up with plays like that.

Honestly, the toe drag between the legs is almost always made when trying to go wide around a dman. Dickinson is in good position, but when Sennecke did it, the fact that it worked going inside makes me think Dickinson expected him to go outside. As a Sharks’ fan, I’m going to say that beating Dickinson in this case was entirely accidental. If Dickinson maintains body position Sennecke goes nowhere, but he chased the puck with his stick and body. He should have leveled him.

That's the next area I'd like to see Dickinson show some growth in. Put people on their ass once in a while.
 
Toe drag with a double skate to skate puck kick to the stick. Yup that was insane.

About the putting people on there butts in that situation, that is very rarely taught or done anymore. And the ones that do it are not ones we want Dickinson to become.
 
He’s so big and strong, I’d definitely like to see him add that to his repertoire. He’s not soft, but with his size, speed and strength he could become a devastating hitter. He’s still very young, plenty of time to add that.

Also, how good is Luca Marreli playing? I liked him with our 3rd, but mostly because he’s a 6’2 RHD.

Yeah, the only thing he really could have done is just level him. Sennecke had been falling all over the ice all game, turning pucks over, etc.

I don't mean to sound like a salty Sharks fan, but I had been team "how on earth do you leave Sennecke off the WJC team" until last night's game. He was completely ineffective at 5v5 until the highlight reel goal unless he was making bad passes or falling down. I can see why he's left off a team in an elimination style tournament.

Sam has been really effective stopppng cycles by simply pinning his check and letting his teammate grab the puck. Really good stuff. I know the physicality is in there somewhere.

I hear the “level him” argument, and it probably leads to a better result than the puck hunting Dickinson does here. But, not being someone anyone else would confuse with a hockey tactics game expert, seems like Dickinson simply getting into Sennecke’s body would have disrupted the play; I don’t think he even needs to go for leveling him, just playing his body probably disrupts the timing enough that Sennecke loses the puck or the back checkers can support the play.

That’s all he needed to do. He doesn’t have to hit him, just maintain position.
 
Game has not gone super great for Roberts since that goal. The Giants have been ahead 1-0 and 2-1 but have since given up 5 straight goals to trail 6-2 into the 3rd period. Roberts is now even on +/- for the game and has a minor penalty on the books after he got into a small dust-up with a Portland player.

Also FWIW, he's 3rd on the Giants in d-man scoring, behind D+2 undrafted Mazden Leslie (26 points in 24 games) and 16 year old rookie (and possible high pick in 2026) Ryan Lin (20 points in 23 games)

So we just need to go and tank for 2 more years then our D corps can be set

Dickinson - Dupont
Mukhamadullin - Lin
Walman - Liljegren

with Cagnoni-Roberts tearing up the AHL and waiting their turn.

easy peasy. :sarcasm:
