Hymans also a very good forechecker and helps create pressure and space for McDavid. Hes more than just a warm body to bounce pucks off of.

That was Zack Kassian

This looks like my beer league heat map. Just stand in front of the goalie and tap in empty net rebounds on shots from the point while getting hit in the lumbar spine with a blocker.

Obviously Hyman's a good player who's found a great fit, and it takes a lot of effort to do what he does, but I do think it's funny how many times I've seen his teammates literally bounce pucks off of him

Just wait until he’s net front on Team Canada’s powerplay at the Olympics, because Kunitz 2.0 is happening baby can’t teach chemistry

I almost solely play defense in my adult soccer leagues, and I prefer to be more of a defensive one. I told a guy I hadn’t scored a goal in my few years of playing again, and he made it his mission to get me one. It ultimately happened because he kicked the ball at me and it hit my leg and went in. I counted it as mine.

I have a hunch that picture is meant to be satire.

But I would bet most players have something similar anyway. Between rebounds, tip-ins, redirections, and loose pucks, most goals are scored within 5 feet of the net.

TL;DR- Jarmo has been dead man walking for about a month, as Mike Priest has been compiling names of potential replacements, and was finally fired yesterday; JD has had health issues recently and they wanted him back in the building before they pulled the trigger. They gave him time to address it with his family before it went public, which is what they did with Scott Howson in 2013 as well.

It also sounds like that, with a pile of RFAs needing deals the next two years, they weren't going to put up with the hardball bullshit he'd pulled with Ryan Johansen, :cop:, Josh Anderson, and others over the years anymore.

Kreider is more of a wizard with the redirect. But I suppose he's an even bigger body, so more surface area to doink pucks off of too.

In hindsight, I don't disagree, but it sure got old having the contract drama of the year as a summertime tradition.

I remember there was an incident years ago where Handzus took a weak post-whistle shot at the Ducks goalie and Pronger went after him.

That’s almost enough of a reason for me to consider driving to Abbotsford to watch Phil play. It’s even close to a border crossing.

Instead I will pay $49 for three whole beers at a Kraken game instead.

Good info. We’re in BC a bunch because youth hockey. Also beer comes in 8 packs.

I am interested in seeing if Phil can get healthy enough to be a plug in the playoffs. It would be pretty funny and he’d probably rip a couple goals for old times’ sake.
