Specifically he made a nice quick decision on a backhand pass to Bert down at the goal line on a power play that led to a goal. I think it is in there somewhere he's just a headcase and not skilled enough to overcome his bad luck. sure, there is the phenomenon of getting to where you play instinctively without thinking and at that point everything you do is faster, but Zadina still doesn't do much for me. Maybe I was over optimistic to think he had the legs for it but I saw Zadina as a potential Draper or at least Glendening type player who could be disruptive on the defensive fore check apart from his scoring, but I'm not seeing any reason to keep believing that. I imagine he has has the rest of this season to show improvement, but if he doesn't I won't be surprised not to see him next year.

slothfacekilla Posted January 20, 2022 Author Share Posted January 20, 2022 From the home game against Buffalo, this kid is hilarious. Reminds me of a kid or two I feel like I always had on my team no matter where I was playing. Super hyped up and just loves hockey. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only watched the first two periods tonight - my main impression of Zadina? He fell down a lot. OTOH, Veleno showed a little pursuit energy here and there.

slothfacekilla Posted January 25, 2022 Author Share Posted January 25, 2022 Prospect porn time, non-Swedish Hanas is having a really solid season after the Wings took him as an over-ager. Not sure if he looks like an impact NHLer but if he keeps developing who knows Seems to be mostly lamented as a nepotism pick, Draper will be headed to a good program at Michigan. I thought it was nice to see some tape of him there Mastro has been popping up with some strong play + nice goals. He always needed to add size to his frame so his college development is going to be big. Phillips is a guy who I definitely forget about, I remember being excited for these two joining up at BU. He had two goals in this game. And finally a little Swedish love: Edvinsson is back practicing which is good to hear 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slothfacekilla Posted January 28, 2022 Author Share Posted January 28, 2022 Don't know if anyone is into collecting hockey cards but Upper Deck announced the rookies for Series 1 and neither Raymond nor Seider are in it. I put a deposit on a case of Series 2 as I'm hoping to have a nice little collection of both players 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slothfacekilla Posted February 1, 2022 Author Share Posted February 1, 2022 haven't seen this sort of player card especially for a Swedish player so I have no clue how "accurate" it is, but I've long felt that Johansson has the skills to be a good NHL player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slothfacekilla Posted February 1, 2022 Author Share Posted February 1, 2022 (edited) Phillips has 4 goals in his last 3 games Cossa put up back to back shutouts Red Savage scored a couple goals when he went up against a few of the other Wings prospects at Denver. Savage is looking like a real nice pick in the fourth round right now Edited February 1, 2022 by slothfacekilla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
