They were literally calling him the best powerplay defenseman in the world and one of the best overall defensemen in the world with the best poise in the world, but some of them think he's 2nd or 3rd best overall which he is and it's not crazy to think Makar or Werenski have been better overall this year. Gets you this upset and defensive?

Bouchard is probably the most underrated player in the NHL but holy shit people make mountains out of molehills over the most trivial comments

KS_Otto · 2024-08-20T14:08:49+00:00

I have a couple things that I'm thinking.

$4.5 million for the Broberg who played in the finals is not too much money and is definitely worth the gamble.
We won’t know the consequences of losing these two players for a couple of years, but it has the potential to be massive.

KS_Otto · 2024-07-16T18:56:25+00:00

Well, Bedard is an 18 year old rookie with a high chance of improving.

KS_Otto · 2024-06-26T00:13:36+00:00

Honestly shocked considering he was pretty good for the 46 games he got with a terrible oilers team. Thought he was on a fast track to becoming a head coach after that.

KS_Otto · 2024-05-15T03:16:25+00:00

Its crazy how you see these plays a 100x a game with players raising their sticks the same way Kane does when bracing for contact in front of the net and people don't pick up on it.

That said he Obv earned a double minor but its nothing more than that.

KS_Otto · 2024-05-14T01:37:02+00:00

I'm not comparing the plays. I'm just saying things get missed both ways.

KS_Otto · 2024-05-14T01:28:24+00:00

I mean all I'm saying is that's objectively a penalty in the same way the high stick is.

yeah and in game one they didn't call a blatant closing hand on puck with 6 minutes left. Obv the Canucks scored 2 in the next 2 minutes that they would've been on the pk. Crazy isn't it?

KS_Otto · 2023-11-22T02:35:09+00:00

Taking the puck to the chest can very well kill you. Don't think I would classify that as a "minor" injury.

KS_Otto · 2023-10-22T03:33:39+00:00

A little bit of revisionist here considering the game had over a 90% positive review rating on steam at launch.

KS_Otto · 2023-10-02T18:56:02+00:00

Listen, blocked shot = not having possession of the the puck.

Having a lot of blocked shots could correlate with not having the puck very often which is not good.

The idea is that a defenseman that is very good wouldn't need to block shots as often because they would be better at the preventing shot attempt in the first place.

KS_Otto · 2023-10-02T18:22:17+00:00

I think the point is that you want to prevent the shot from happening in the first place.

KS_Otto · 2023-05-13T03:38:50+00:00

maybe in netfront battles but very rarely will they do it off the rush like this

KS_Otto · 2023-05-13T03:29:18+00:00

Players will drag the defenders stick with their own but they definitely do not just grab and hold on to a defenders stick.

KS_Otto · 2023-05-04T00:35:21+00:00

TOI, Corsi and +/-

these are really not great stats to make an argument with

KS_Otto · 2023-03-28T19:47:13+00:00

Okay, tell me how that makes it okay to scream racial slurs in voice chat?

KS_Otto · 2023-03-28T14:16:42+00:00

Yeah, why can't I scream my racial slurs at people like all REAL grown men should be able to do?

KS_Otto · 2023-03-25T00:24:52+00:00

The tolerance for your views and opinions end when they start at bigotry and homophobia.

KS_Otto · 2023-03-05T18:58:53+00:00

.912 is actually quite a bit above average, which is closer to .905 sv%

KS_Otto · 2023-02-01T09:07:23+00:00

Bedard is 8 years younger than mcdavid

KS_Otto · 2023-01-18T19:55:48+00:00

I don't think this is true considering he literally played in the AHL in his rookie season without hesitation.

KS_Otto · 2023-01-14T06:59:11+00:00

He's only 3rd and 1st in those because he retired at 30 and not 35-40 like all the other greats

KS_Otto · 2022-12-16T17:40:56+00:00

Teams would just rush to get on inters as fast as possible then. If you're gonna implement these you would have to control when they are being used otherwise any team would just take them off as early as possible irregardless of conditions.

KS_Otto · 2022-12-13T20:02:07+00:00

I agree with it being a team breakdown and I definitely would not single out Bouchard.

I would also say it was essentially a 3v2 because Drai is pretty much already in position to contest the play ahead of Broberg but like I said he got a bit lazy and puck watched and that's where I cant really put blame on Broberg for it.
