Putting TK on the PK was a no brainer in my opinion, but how many coaches did we have that didn't even try him there? Two at least. I think in today's NHL you have to have players on the PK who can threaten on offense, on one of your units at least.
Of course the Flyers will trade TK.
For a second round pick, which they will subsequently trade as part of a deal that gets us a 38-year old version of JVR and a 5th. It's the most Flyer move that ever Flyered.
I think "ordinary" is overstating it. He looked very good at times, in my opinion, including in last night's game. He wasn't great on faceoffs at times, which frustrated me, but he did a lot of things well, was physical all over the ice, and provided leadership (in my opnion) to a gold medal winning club. He was fine.
Agree. Milic was also a difference maker. It was a hella entertaining game to watch that's for sure. Some of my Halifax buddies will be at the game tonight. I was almost able to swing the trip out there for it, but alas, life interfered.
I felt the same, thought it was a good hockey goal, and agreed with the TSN panel that it was both an outrageous challenge and outrageous call by the refs.
But, it turns out, the IIHF has consistently judged that situation the same way. There was contact to the goalie's head from the US player's arse in the blue paint. Apparently it doesn't even matter that said contact was partially the result of being pushed by the Canadian Dman.
So much alluding/eluding going on, I can't keep it straight
This is a good post, congrats! You should reward yourself with a visit to the local mall, spend some quality time around the top of the escalators. Enjoy!
That Flyer fan should be extradited to the Hague for war crimes. Maybe it was just a Risto fan, which I suppose is possible. It would be risky for me to wear a Risto jersey as I would inevitably be engulfed in flames as well.
