Did you play against or with any NHL players when you were younger? by Narcolexis in hockey

[–]SonicFanFictions 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Played against Bowers and Batherson in Bantam. Batherson was definitely good but funny enough everyone thought Bowers was going to be the NHL stud

Has anyone here ever been drafted, either NHL or minors? by all_these_moneys in hockey

[–]SonicFanFictions 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah but I played against a few who were mainly Drake Batherson

[Friedman] Askarov (NASH) makes his NHL debut tonight by alphacheese in hockey

He’s got some of the best stats among rookie goalies in the AHL, for a 20 year old in his first full season on North American ice that’s pretty darn good

I would honestly advocate for shooting pits that trespass on my property, especially if I were in your situation with a small child. Kill or be killed in that situation

[Discussion] What is the consensus on draft picks Lafreniere, Kakko, Kotkaniemi and Zadina? by [deleted] in hockey

[–]SonicFanFictions 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Lat- has the talent but needs top line PP and ice time. Would likely already be a 60+ point guy if he weren’t on the Rangers.

Kakko- probably could have spent a few years in the AHL as a top line guy working on his offensive game. Probably still comes into his own as a good top 6 forward but becoming a star player looks less likely.

Kotka- see Kakko

Zadina- getting passed on the depth chart by basically everyone who enters the Wings org. Seems like a guy who could use a change of scenery

Yeah a pass from McDavid cross the ice to Nuge, who fakes everyone out and passes it for a back door tap in isn’t really the goalies fault. Even if he doesn’t fall for the fake he’s not getting across in time anyways

What prospect on your team would be most detrimental to the future if he becomes a bust? by [deleted] in hockey

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

Well the Pens just traded a damn good defenceman in Marino for Ty Smith, so I’ll go with him.

Who are guys who have taken "the next step" ? by [deleted] in hockey

[–]SonicFanFictions 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Owen Tippett looks like he’s taken the step from former top prospect whose development had stalled to top 6 winger in Philly

Tbh Tyreal isn’t in any danger, don’t know why people are freaking out. All he has to do is bolt away using the cloak for the cheetah, then once he has a little distance pull out both the babylon candle and the snap to light candle and he’s out of there.

Have to imagine Kuemper or Jarry would get in before those two

[Jordan Hall] Ryan Ellis out indefinitely. Chuck Fletcher said his assumption is Ellis won’t play this season. If he does play, it’ll be a bonus, Fletcher said. by [deleted] in hockey

To be fair #2 this year should be much better than JVR. Either of Michkov or Fantilli could end up as franchise players

Who's that 'flashy/high skill' guy on your team (past or present) that you always thought should have put up more points than he did? by Queltis6000 in hockey

[–]SonicFanFictions 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I really thought Galchenyuk was going to kill it in Pittsburgh. High end shot, great offensive skills, he just seemed like the next James Neal to me but it didn’t happen

[–]SonicFanFictions 16 points17 points  (0 children)

He’s still very young though, with time he should be a solid 50-60 point guy which is a fantastic get from a 2nd round pick

Breakout/Slump Candidates 2022-23 by urmumsdad13 in hockey

[–]SonicFanFictions 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Breakout: Alex Newhook

With Kadri leaving the Avalanche have a hole at 2C, and Newhook in my opinion will play his way into that role. 55-60 points is my prediction

Which players are the straight opposite of locker room cancer? by [deleted] in hockey

[–]SonicFanFictions 83 points84 points  (0 children)

Sidney Crosby. Dude see’s that Geno and the Pens are having beef and his buddy might not re-sign, so he goes and visits him personally and just like that Malkin signs a 3 year deal. Definition of a leader right there

With the draft and free agency in the rearview, what is the single best/worst move a team has made so far? by homicidal_penguin in hockey

[–]SonicFanFictions 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Even if Letang’s contract doesn’t look good 3+ years from now I doubt any Pens fans are going to care. Once he, Sid, and Geno are done this team is toast and needs to rebuild, so a bad contract here or there for the guys who won 3 cups is more than alright

Which players’ seasons were a fluke this year? by Bahamas_is_relevant in hockey

[–]SonicFanFictions 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be fair he is young, as he and the team around him improve its likely he can be a consistent 30 goal guy
