Apparently Farrell cleared

Sure he did. He had to fit under a bar that was 6 feet off the ground and he didn't even have to bend his knees to do it.

Laine is slow but he is smooth

So Kapanen has the inside track for the last spot.

 

[Habsy]

Shhh, I was told he didn’t when I mentioned it last week.

Remains to be seen.

 

[Habsy]

There it is

I think Kapanen will develop into an excellent 3rd liner

“ Kappy plays a very mature game,” MSL said. “He has an NHL computer and I find he’s taken a step physically compared to last year. He does a lot of things on the ice.”

 

[Habsy]

Heineman replacement that can also play center

The center version of Lehkonen?

 

[CH1]

more physical

great career for Max, wish him well

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

I will never forget his career 0.72 ppg scoring % which dipped to 0.65% ppg in the playoffs.

Magical.

 

[TheCountofMonteCristo]

shit on him if you wish, but how many players in the organization have had 30+ goals five straight full seasons since 1993?

That's not so unusual. Lafleur dropped from 1.2ppg to 1.05

Very few maintain the same pace in the playoffs, as you're facing better teams, better defense, and game plans specifically designed to shut you down.

 

[CH1]

seems pretty obvious that your stats will shrink when you're suddenly not facing the worst teams in the league (not to mention more infractions to stop you from scoring become permitted)
