How bout that Hertl Kid?

[oilfieldhockey]

Tomas Hertl has built some hype with that 4 goal game and sweet between the legs move against the Rangers in that 9-2 butchering.

 

Haha Some funny quotes for you.

 

"Teenage mutant ninja Hertls!!"

 

"He got over that Hertl pretty quick"

Saw parts of that game & that unbelievable shot between his legs...talk about the kid having 'moxie'!  A hat-trick would have been totally amazing enough for the rook, but 4 goals?!  At a home game....with his mother & girlfriend in the crowd...haha!  He had no words in the post-game interview...'It's just a dream' is all he could manage to utter...can't imagine his excitement.  

 

All I can say is...I'm glad we weren't playing them TONITE!!  .....BUT....WE PLAY THEM THURSDAY....DA-MN!!   :wacko:

For interest's sake, here is part of an article re: 'Top 10 rookies to watch for this year', which I wrote a topic about back in August.  What an understatement about Hertl, huh?

Tomas Hertl – San Jose Sharks

Hertl has honed his skills playing in the Czech elite league and appears ready for the NHL. The Sharks first round pick in 2012 is a complete player and is proficient in all three zones as well as good in the faceoff circle. Projected to not only make the team, but potentially suit up beside captain Joe Thornton, he could be a significant addition for the Sharks this year.

The team could also be looking at Thornton’s heir apparent, and take over his spot as a one-two punch with Logan Couture when he retires.

I wrote before the season started in the prediction thread to watch or Hertl to be a rookie of the year finalist

Just crazy.  I hope he can keep it up.

Wow! Awesome goal! That kid has some serious jets too.

That was a joy to watch.  I can not believe what Oates said. 

[jammer2]

@DAXflyer  That was a LAME response by Oates. Don't like it? Stop it! Simple as that. It's a hockey move, deception with the puck. What is next, the Forsberg tuck in move is disrespectful? Very lame quote by Oates.

Don't know if any one caught the comment in the video, but first 19 year old to score 4 goals since March of 1988.

 

good stuff on Lundquist 

[iban3z]

I picked him up on my Fantasy Team. Could this be the year #99's record is broken?

[goalnut3133]

@iban3z  Have you seen that Hertl's been injured from last nite's game vs Ottawa?

[iban3z]

@goalnut3133   Yeah I saw that. but he did get me a goal. He's listed as day to day so hopefully he wont' be out too long. Once's he's back he'll be a solid pick-up. 

[goalnut3133]

Oh, good it may not be serious then. Just wondered with that 1st hit from Edler if it was a compounded injury. (Geeze, how did you swing that pick-up for your team?? LOL)

I laughed a lot at Joe Thornton's coming to the rescue comments ragarding stroking the rooster haha
