who the F is Tomas Hertl?
A beast. Definitely who I would have wanted if we didn't finish bottom 10 that year.
And I thought it would be hard to beat the way Eller scored his 4th goal in his 4 goals night but man...
I wonder if Cherry will call it disrespectful...

Who took my beer?
He started playing around 17min+ more often around half the season last year. It's around that time he really started upping his game. Points didn't come every night, but he was dominating his opponents regularly.

Great NFL D's are the best thing to watch. (Biased cause I was a defensive player ?)
Sacks, Tips, Huge tackles and interception. I just love watching Jared Allen going for the spin dance.

That's why this past weekends Denver Dallas game is being heralded as one of the most entertAining games in history. 99 points and absolutely no defence.
People don't go to games to watch defence.

He has 35 points in his last 45 games despite getting almost no powerplay time and less minutes than Plekanec and Desharnais.
Man I always liked Hertl, I wish we could have snag him somehow (Without touching our future superstar Galchenyuk, of course).

Man it's like Vancouver is trying to shatter Luongo's confidence. Let's give an ovation to the guy that we all really wanted to keep over you.

I dont know bud... i still think ellers 4th goal was a liiiiiiiiiil bit cooler, penalty shot at the bell center, already has 3 goals, and pulls off a move like that while backflipping off a goalie?
that is OG **** right there.
Hertl is going to be a beast. Just give him the Calder Trophy now.
"I don't get it, everyone said the NHL would be hard
"Makes me a bit jealous to see another team with a rookie like Hertl
Hertl and Couture are going to be something for the Sharks

He was putting up basically first line numbers before the half way point of last year's shortened season, if you want to split hairs and talk about him playing at a PPG pace which even us Eller fanboys know is not going to be sustained than sure, but that's being pedantic.
Most hardcore NFL fans I know, as in the type to watch as many games as possible instead of just their own team when they are winning, including Denver fans, thought that game was entertaining but not a good representative of football and are concerned that the NFL has gone too far in making it a pass-happy league. ESPN NY radio yesterday was complaining about the "CFLification" of the NFL. Personally, I love games like that, but I'm pretty casual when it comes to throwball, and even then if every game was like that it would really dumb down the experience in my opinion.
Of course those kind of shootouts will appeal to the casual fan, and that's where the money is, so I'm afraid the NHL will continue to neuter goalies so every game has 10 goals.
One of the reasons soccer is my favourite sport is because every goal matters, and even though I like basketball, I do agree that games between good teams basically come down to the last few minutes and everything before that is meaningless. The NFL has become increasingly like that too, and I'm beginning to worry the NHL is heading in that direction.

As I said, it might be me being biased as a defensive player but there's not much appealing in a game like that...
On the other hand, explosive plays by running backs, bone crushing steam-rolling, stiff arms... That's exciting. Last minutes end-zone to end-zone by Brady to win, that's exciting.
I prefer seeing two good balanced team than a suck-fest. (Same thing in hockey.)
But I also am a hockey/football fan of the individuals. I love watching Duchene play, because he's mesmerizing, I love to watch AP play because, well he's himself...

He was there was still question marks. His chance now to erase those marks...
Pretty sure that he was already elevated to god status last year. Yet before the season, who in here had 70-80 points season for Eller in mind? His offensive game was still to be determined. Add it to the possible repercussions to his game after his injury and there was NOTHING certain in his regard. And to be "Fair", there still isn't. The analysis still needs to be ongoing, not a whole lot of games played including from last year. But it is looking great. Anyway, my point was that when it's about our players, we can praise the guy after 3 games and it won't be a problem. But doing it for the rest of the league will be looked at with more eyebrows risen....

All 4 goals
They are scored when the game is already out of reach, but they are still amazing. Even people who dont like hockey can see the talent, great for SJ and their fans who are the best in the southern markets.
I'm indifferent to the Sharks but it's good to see that they'll have some good talent even after the Marleau/Thornton era. For a team with awful draft reputation in recent years they sure have picked up a few gems in the last few drafts starting from Couture.
