Hertl is going to be a beast. Just give him the Calder Trophy now.
Yup, this year's Tarasenko!

I've been saying he looks like Peter Forsberg since he first broke in
His stance and puck control are great, his only problem was that he was green and had the occasional bout of tunnel vision. Let's hope he breaks out this year and tears the league apart.
In GOAT we trust.

I doubt Eller will ever be as dominant as Foppa 
but they sure do play a similar game. I'd love to see Eller rush up the puck and hit everyone while keeping the puck.
Legend.

As I said at the time, I felt like we could've got something more but I was happy that at least we went for a prospect (something we didn't do nearly enough of) that we believed in. That move is definitely paying off now.
At the start of last season with his benching I really thought Eller was going to be dealt but he made the most of his opportunities and he's become a very good player. Solid 2nd line center at the very least and there's upside to suggest he could be better than this.
So if nothing else, at least it looks like Gauthier made a good trade for us here. Just too bad we didn't trade for more prospects over the years.
There was also the D'agostini for Palushaj deal and the O'byrne for Bournival. Hopefully Bournival could follow suit.

Overlords finishing that other thread with the "You can't do that" gif was the icing on the cake
We might see Kristo in the NHL soon. Nash injury + Kristo 3 points & shootout goal in 2 games in AHL. I hope he does well, another notch on Timmins' gem belt.
TSN has a story on Hertl "maybe putting too much into it/showboating."
You want the game to be exciting, you change the rules to make it so... and then you're all up in arms when a 19 year old humiliates a team by scoring four goals... Holy ****.

Hope it's not the case but in fact, I couldn't careless. I just hope Thomas will be able to meet the expectations we have for him. Otherwise, we got ****ed...

Give me one good reason to root for them.
PS: Patrick Roy's comeback is not a good reason.

Who was it? Onrait that said "if you don't wanna be criticized these days the only way to celebrate goals is to look down at your skates in shame" or something like that when Yak did the slide celly. Ridiculous.TSN has a story on Hertl "maybe putting too much into it/showboating."

Justin make me proud
"He posted 30 points in 48 games last year, but only 28 in 79 games the season before."
They are right he won't keep this current pace up, but this is just stupid.

Makes you wonder... What if Hertl was Canadian? Same ridiculous comments?

I'm expecting Cherry to give us his rant about it on CC Saturday night too..
P.K. scored a hat trick against Minnesota two years ago, I believe. Might have been three years ago. He celebrated the third goal when they were up by a touchdown or so. He got criticized for it.

Nah I think you're confusing it for one of his OT goals. He visibly hid his joy after his hattrick goal...unlike that Chara fellow.

Bob Hartleys take was good. Kid is young and learning, next time he'll have a visitor and he'll learn from that.

Unless......Halak ends up the better goalie. You keep Halak, you trade Price and you ends up with Eller and MORE.
