GDT: Training Camp: Oh, Hockey’s Back

Looks Laf was trying to pass it to the slot to the open man, slipped off his stick perfectly to Mika who roofed it bard down from in tight. Nice set up from Laf (not certain if intentional), sick finish from Mika.

If that was intentional thats insane.

As a 35 year old man it's weird that Laf was a teenager last year. I see teenagers driving or hanging around my town all the time and think they look like toddlers. Heck, I see kids who are genuinely 21 in bars that look 15. Laf is from that Aaron Ekblad line of teenage genetics.

That's Ekblad accepting his CALDER trophy. He was 19 years old.

If you look at teens 80 years ago most of them looked like men. That certainly had to do with diet and exercise ( in their case labor/work ). Today most kids eat like shit and barely do anything. The water has all sorta of crap in it too. But I doubt they’re even drinking water. It stifles the body. We’re not supposed to live this way and it shows physically on many.

 

[tomobson]

If they are gonna move Laf around might as well put him in the center position.

 

[GAGLine]

Don’t like Lafreniere on his off side

Rangers get gifted a once in a lifetime talent and they move him to his offside for Chris Kreider of all people

Moving from one wing to the other isn't a big deal. If anything, it makes his shot more dangerous.

 

[Edge]

I seriously believe @Edge resembles Beeker irl, with orange salad flow.

Way more flow. Waaaaay more flow.

This is false, everyone knows that all HFers, starting with @Edge looks like some form of their avatar just irl

After two cups of coffee, yes. Caffeine and my body are not friends.

I play hockey 5x per week, eat healthy & drink plenty of water but I still look 12

 

[duhmetreE]

Kreider Zibs Laf
Panarin Strome Kakko
Goodrow Chytil Kravtsov? dont hate it

Well you basically are 12

when you’re 40 it will be a gift

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

yes. yes I am. *waves* hello

I thought you were Dion Phaneuf so this is a shocker.

 

[duhmetreE]

NOW SOMEONE DO IT FROM THE LEFT SIDE. All the elite goal scorers do it. See this one trick opponents hate.

 

[Tob]

Man, Hayes out, Backstrom rehabbing, Malkin out 2 months. Lots of real estate to gain some early ground in the division.

 

[LOFIN]

so

Kreider Zibs Laf
Panarin Strome Kakko
Goodrow Chytil Kravtsov? dont hate it

Still don't like Kakko with Strome and Panarin but one can hope they take off I guess...

 

[dangsLITE]

he's obviously not 227 but no way that KK is only 199 if that was his weight last year lol

Get yourself a job at a coal mine like those teens 80 years ago, and I guarantee you'll starting aging faster.

Crosby too. And maybe Matthews for a bit

 

[duhmetreE]

why? Kakko is responsible defensively and great on the boards. Everyone stands to benefit. Panarin gets his boards player, Kakko gets space and a dynamic playmaker/driver.

There's no reason he wont work besides a random rumor from a clueless 'beatwriter'.

Lots of hormones and additives in food and chemicals in the drinking water. Preservatives and such on produce. Not decrying all of it - but clearly this was all less common until fairly recent times and the effects are noticeable. Add a lack of sunshine and exercise…

As you said, we’re not supposed to live this way; most of these changes were made in the name of profit - greater yield, less waste, more attractive coloring, etc - at the expense of wellness. Unfortunately, even “organic” alternatives aren’t always much better and raising it all yourself isn’t viable for most. Luckily I got a nice chonky build and a healthy beard in my genetics.

I just that because Kakko and Panarin both thrive from puck posession, that's just not a good match.

Don't you mean badass beatwriter?!?!?!?


Like you said, Kakko actually fits well on that line. We don't need specifically need a Jesper Fast like player to be the RW just because it worked with him there for a season.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Panarin-Strome-Kakko actually had pretty terrific metrics last year. Kakko's numbers weren't there early almost by accident, but that line controlled most of the shot attempts, had a positive rate of High Danger chances for vs against and both Panarin and Strome performed significantly worse with out Kakko.


Quinn basically Quinn'd and convinced himself that Blackwell was a better fit on that line, he wasn't. Kakko fortunately had positive effects on everyone he played with, so it wasn't a total loss for the group as a whole, but it certainly made that line worse.

Prefer Lundkvist take #4.

A real defensemans number.
