Any nice goals where he's stick handling and doesn't actually lose the puck though?

He was so fast the puck couldn't keep up with him.

The drunk boss predictions are better IMO. He'd have to double his point production to reach 40, I don't see that without PP time and there's just no way he gets it here.

He's a big win for us, I just don't know if that's higher than his offensive ceiling will allow, even with Dahlin.

- RhinoFan



Good point with the pp time.

I'm thinking though:

Dahlin 60 points next year - samuelsson 30 points
Dahlin 65 points 2024 - samuelsson 35 points.

Sky's the limit for most of this young team.
Ulf's kid should/ could be around for a decade, 40 points is not out of reach IMO

That shouldn't have counted, he legit moves backwards.....

Shootout needs to be tweaked or scraped.

Puck must continually move forward not the player

He legit pulls it backwards between 3 and 4 seconds of that clip.

Its been done a lot.
Not just by Quinn.

By definition the pucks stops moving forward. its not a good goal.

Its not backwards. Maybe to the side. Its a bad camera angle to see. We've had numerous goals like this scored against us this year so I ain't gunna complain.

Regardless shootout should be scrapped altogether. Its getting old and 3v3 for a couple more minutes would be way more fun to watch.

This is my problem with shootouts. You are negating most plays.

If they arent going to get rid of the shootout atleast make it so puck or player should be moving forward. That way they can actually make nice dangles and most of these questionable ones go away.

Is Dahlin comfortable with Samuelsson, wish we could get another 10 game look.

I think the shootout will be scrapped one of these years but I absolutely think that this kind of stuff will get addressed this offseason. It has become cartoonish and beyond the spirit of what a shootout should be.

It's not called "series of penalty shots and breakaways" so please, do tell what the "spirit of the shootout" is?

I am referring to the play itself. And don't get me wrong - I am all for scrapping it. But we all know that once a player slows down to a crawl (or stops) we have crossed the line between a hockey play and something that I do in the driveway with my kids.
