He is amazing defensively, forechecks hard, goes to the net and has great hockey sense, a 1c if I've ever seen one

His hands are deceptively good, particularly in tight. He deflects/redirects a lot of his goals. Remember that sauce pass on his backhand to Simmonds (iirc) a few games ago?

He’s awesome. You could see the potential all along, it was just a question of whether or not he’d put it all together. I think we know the answer now

They have unleashed a monster. They really have. Because I think he has a nasty one-timer that he isn't even using that much...yet

I really believe he just started scratching the surface of his potential offensively. I don’t think he will drastically improve offensively points wise, but I think his consistency is going to be where we’d hoped

Yes. It really has been fun to watch. I haven't posted much lately but I have been watching and his progress, plus the resurgence of Giroux, have been really amazing

The way he's been playing this year, he could virtually own that thing.

I'm cool with Weal getting it. I ripped him a bit this year because I thought he was a bit soft with the puck a bit too often, but the last week or so, he's looked like he's been solid.

Coots having a great season but Im most impressed , right now, with G..

2 in the league in points coming off a season where many people were calling him washed up.

Regardless having both of them is solid!

This I agree 100 % with....G has been fantastic. Count me as one that thought he wouldn’t see those 80 + points production again....He really has gotten his game back.

Given the long break coming I agree.

I just don't trust Neuvy.

I've probably never had to eat so much crow over one player. And I'm happy to do so. Unreal season he's having.
- hereticpride

I always thought that he could be a 20 goal, 50 point Selke caliber player, but this is just beyond awesome.

If there was EVER a situation to play our alleged backup goaltender, tomorrow is the day.

They really need to play him. Elliott deserves a night off.

Just feel that Elliot is going to have 6 nights off..

If they didnt have their bye week right now I would 100% play Neuvy tomorrow but that to me and desperately needing points changes that some.


Plus Im sure Neuvy will get hurt sleeping tonight so it wont matter.

Neuvirth could pull a muscle while scratching his balls, so yeah, Elliott needs to be ready just in case.

Age is just a number - Pete Townsend, probably.
