I think he's been playing conservatively and not hitting harder than he knows how to. I think he can put the hurt for sure wants they say...."Relase the Hounds..." Agreed. He's being disciplined. Maybe too much. A fully engaged NAK is a good player 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyClarkeFan16 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Derek Grant is a point per game player with the Flyers. Let that sink in for a moment. I posted on another board and someone said he's this year's Ville Leino. I have to admit, he's outperformed what I thought he would do. Watch him go on to remain on that pace for the rest of the year.....lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegionOfDoom Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Ya that kick out shows his coordination and smarts, and he's got that Philly-Kid smile. Seems like a keeper. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegionOfDoom Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Gotta give Hagg props for going after Weelson. He took off his helmet, to go for some hits to the head, but didn't really get the chance. I'm sure G appreciates that and the coach as well. Even though G really avoided most of that hit, it was nice to see someone step in and not gonna take it anymore. All in all the team played right. Elliot was a little too deep in net on some of those goals, had he challenged a little more they would of hit his torso more often than not. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's clearly a very smart player. And I like his size and versatility. Fletch has to be smiling. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NAK has incredible offensive fundamentals, that play when he threw that backhand on net and it resulted in a goal. That really was a heads up play , He didn’t try and force the puck through the defense and cause a turnover, he just threw it at the net, like you have heard a thousand times, anything can happen and it did. He always seems to create some good chances when he is on the ice. I would like to see the creativity of NAK and Farabee together eventually playing on the same line. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raffl and Laughton are also playing great . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a line of Farabee Frost and N.AK as a third line could be interesting. But 100 percent agree N.AK goes to the right places. It is very frustrating when he skates out to the hunt ready to make something happen and I see that they don't seem to have the vision to pass it out to him when clearly he has an edge out to break out down the ice, I've seen it countless of times and it is frustrating, I think his linemates don't have the vision to go along with what he's trying to start off on. I think Frost has the high IQ to see it as well and Farabee is right there as well. The good news is that I think his linemates are now starting to catch sight of him and processing that he is a valid option to pass it to. Every goal he's scored it seems like it was a heads up play by his team mate to see him skating to the danger zone. He also seems to create his own scoring chances as well.

LegionOfDoom Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 What I would of liked, would of been, to have Farabee, Frost and N. AK playing as a line in the AHL for at least half a year in the beginning of the first half of the season so they could build chemistry. Bringing them up at the same time about now would of done wonders I believe if they had spent time together before. But of course putting three rookies on the same line would of been risky as a coach, but piecing it together next season is doable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be nice to squeeze up in the playoffs and put the Caps and Pens in a first round matchup. That said, as it stands that would mean facing the Isles - who are looking like a team that the smoke is finally clearing from the mirrors, but has been a tough out. Next step is the first round. Keep walking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd want a new backup option though....Laurent Brossoit maybe?? Or if Anton Khudobin if they let him go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
