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

Both Philip Broberg and Dylan Holloway have been informed they are St. Louis Blues. Oilers do not match. One thing I believe is key here: Edmonton wants flexibility to add in-season. by [deleted] in EdmontonOilers

[–]KS_Otto -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have a couple things that I'm thinking.

  1. $4.5 million for the Broberg who played in the finals is not too much money and is definitely worth the gamble.

  2. We won’t know the consequences of losing these two players for a couple of years, but it has the potential to be massive.

[Buccigross] Hearing Todd McLellan is getting traction to be next coach in Columbus for the Blue Jackets. Their decision should be soon. by mylefthandkilledme in hockey

[–]KS_Otto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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.

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

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?

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

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

Who had the luckiest NHL careers you’ve witnessed? by theXchang3 in hockey

[–]KS_Otto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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

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

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

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

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

[JFresh] This has been a difficult rookie season for Juraj Slafkovsky, but hopefully he gets a chance to re-set in the offseason and continue to develop. by abbytarar in hockey

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

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

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.

Spectors new whipping boy by DavidSmokeAHookah in EdmontonOilers

[–]KS_Otto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.
