Once he figure out how to snipe off his net drive he will be a dangerous dangerous player.Skating like the wind out there. Much stronger on his feet. More elusive and driving the net.
Excellent stuff.
After all the years of missing out on the lotto, we received some redemption picking up Stutzle and Sanderson in the same draft! Pillars of the core!
# 2 pick got bumped to 5 (Sens)We actually lost the lotto that year as well. We had pick 2 and 3 before the lottery.
# 2 pick got bumped to 5 (Sens)
#3 pick stayed at 3 (SJ). So technically I guess SJ won one of the 3 lottery picks.
So I checked, thinking he’s been improving, he’s now at 41%, I remember him being about 27%.If Stu can start winning more faceoffs he'll get more defensive zone deployment. If he does that and keeps up his current play he'll get more recognition for his defensive play
@Senscore, @Relapsing, @frightenedinmatenum2 you guys post some of the funniest posts, thanks for keeping the boards lively and entertaining!
Yep to all of this.Stutzle needs to release it from high danger areas.
He is frequently ragging the puck through a prime shooting area and skating himself below the goal line or to the boards.
Last night, Tampa went the other way and scored their third goal after another passed up shooting attempt turned into a rush the other way.
He does so many good things, but he needs to watch some Pastrnak tape (for example) to understand different release points that shooters use when in high danger areas. Create deception and shoot through defenders rather than let chances die on the vine.
He's often alone when he does that. Nobody's making himself open to give him some kind of passing option or to open a shooting lane for him.Yep to all of this.
He has the puck in a shooting position from the high slot after going around the net a few times a game, but he refuses to let one go.
He also does his net drive to the point of having zero angle, so while it looks OK, he has basically no chance to score. A few simple adjustments could make him a far more dangerous player - and that would be scary for the rest of the league.
