Player Discussion: Simon Holmstrom

Oops . . .

First off, I guess you never made a statement here that is wrong.
Secondly, glad you have so much time is your busy life to go and check through all my comments. You must lead a very satisfying and fulfilling life

This kid is shaping up to be a nice player. Boy is he ugly though.

He needs dental work in the worst way, I feel bad for him

 

[BarzyClub]

Wish he got more asists, but the dude is a certified puckhound.

Crazy stat of the night ( yes, I looked it up because it was driving me nuts.):


He’s got the most goals of players with zero assists of anyone since the 1920’s.

One of the guys on the ESPN telecast, maybe it was Ferraro, called him a CY Young candidate and i thought he made a dumb mistake until he clarified, lol. I found it rather witty. Hey, we don't need another playmaker so why not?

Lol, you attack anyone who expresses a pessimistic opinion about the team as if it’s a personal affront to your character, so might want to take your own advice.

But more on point, you’re bumping people’s posts like Holmstrom turned into the second coming of McDavid (or Pastrnak ). The dude is on pace for <30 points and has three assists in 72 career games.

And if it needs to be said, I think he’s been solid this year.

Wait even more than Brandon Pirri? The actual hell.

Seriously thats pretty cool for a guy who should have way more assists. I really dont believe he should have zero, but that's how it is.

You don't like it? BLOCK ME. You are one of the worst snot asses here.

Now that he's "made it", probably waiting for them to get knocked out before doing any major work..

This is the face that'll haunt your power play unit

I guess he didn’t want to be compared to Bailey anymore so he flipped the script and started finishing. Genius !

 

[beach]

Just Holmstrom, since I was likely his biggest supporter here for the past 3 years.

And frankly, the snotty responses here have gone off the deep end at me at times . . . sometimes you need to let off steam.

Well, I'm glad I was wrong about Holmstrom. I hope he keeps developing.

Holmstrom is basically what Bailey could've been. Just relentless on forecheck.

 

[Strummergas]

Holmstrom is basically what Bailey could've been. Just relentless on forecheck.

When I posted what I did about Holmstrom months ago, it didn't really have anything to do with his ability. It had more to do with how I thought fans would perceive him. Unless he really exceeds, I'll continue stand by my assessment. But I really like the player.

 

[saintunspecified]

I think the goalscoring w/o assists is a combination of a small sample size fluke, and playing with JPG (whose shot has not recovered from his wrist injury).

His PK ability has really shed light on the deterioration of the rest of NYI's bottom-6. Clutterbuck should not be on the PK anymore (I've been like a broken record on this, I know). I can't tell if Cizikas is getting dragged down by playing with Clutter.

 

[The Real JT]

Re: Cizikas

If the Isles are in the mix for a playoff spot then we need to stay the course with him. Alternatively, if it looks like we won’t be contending, then this is exactly the type of contract that has some current value and should be shopped around. Although it’s not a big AAV, a few million here and a few million there and it all adds up. He still has four years on his deal including the current season. We may not want to be on the hook for that contract as it ages.

Given that Cizikas still has wheels and that when on the PK with Holmstrom we've seen Cizikas get sprung for some scoring chances, I'd agree with you that he's getting dragged down by Clutterbuck on the PK.

At even strength I'd like to see the 4th line reimagined (my broken record rant) without 15 and 17, but we'll have to wait another year for that...unless Lou resigns them both with his newfound cap money next year.

I dont see Clutter or Martin sticking if they found decent guys in Gauthier and Fasching. Isles do know when to cut bait, and IMHO they've done it right for the most part.

I will even include Eberle in this because the guy is back to being inconsistent.

 

[Richie Daggers Crime]

Well, at least we know his favorite ice cream is rocky road.

 

[Mr Misunderstood]

Might start calling him Mako

Shares the same jagged chiclets as the sea creature

 

[isles55]

Needs to get more shots on net. Like a lot more.

One of the few highlights in this clusterf*** of a season

Lou knows when to cut bait?? The entire team is signed up 5-8 years.

Also why is Holmstrom benched in OT???
