    Barkov is easily the best two way forward in the league. I remember when he was a young kid playing in Tappara in finnish league and even as a young rookie he was showing really exceptional talent and two way play. It's great to see him becoming one of the best players in the NHL.

  • @juhomantynen4638
    @juhomantynen4638 Před 14 dny +20

    Barkov got more than 1600 votes for the Selke, whereas Staal who ended up second got less than 600. What's surprising for me is that Hintz was 6th with 300+ votes, not that I ever thought he wasn't good defensively but 6th best in the league caught me off-guard. Kinda like Matthews being 3rd.

    • @justjohnny420
      @justjohnny420 Před 14 dny +4

    • @Cableguy15
      @Cableguy15 Před 14 dny +4

      It's because at this point, the Selke is reserved for players who are good at both offense and defense. It's supposed to be for the best defensive forward so a guy with like 10 points could win it. But that never happens. Norris has the same issue but in reverse. Hence why Erik Karlsson has won it twice, most recently with a -26 (!) rating. lol

    • @angiebee2225

I can totally relate to being really pissed off after a sub par effort , in my expert fan opinion . if i feel they left it all out there on the ice, then i'll concede that the better team won. i hate people asking me what happened after a loss when they played like crap, regular season or playoffs. I love my team, and yes, i need a day or two to let it soak in so to speak.. It 's a double edged sword being a passionate fan for any sport..

    Draft will be interesting, Philly has two picks. If Michkov shows up early, do they abandon this part of the rebuild and use those picks to get him some immediate help / protection? Go find a veteran Russian to mentor him about being in the States, etc.

    I'm in favor of moving Ullmark if it makes sense, but the Bruins should give serious consideration to moving Zacha, too. He has a similar salary and is coming off a career year. Why trade him, then? Because he's redundant. The Bruins already have a bunch of guys who play like Charlie Coyle. Zacha is one of them and Geekie is another. Strangely enough, they seem to be trying to make Frederick into another Coyle-lite, too. But I'd bet Zacha gets plenty of takers, and even if it's just for picks (Which they need), it frees up space to get the kind of center they want in free agency or maybe a trade.

    • @angushiltz4880

    Good news for Carolina and bad news for other teams who were hoping Brind'Amour would be available as a head coach. The PWHL is at least starting their Finals at a more reasonable time of year than the NHL. The NHL Finals shouldn't still be going on in the middle of June, unless you're playing on roller skates.

    As a rookie, Ken Dryden had a record of 12-8-0 in 20 games with a goals against average of 3.01 and a save percentage of . 914 in the 1971 playoffs in his rookie season. He won his first Conn Smythe Trophy and his first Stanley Cup.

    DeSmith has about 200 minutes of Stanley Cup playoff experience. I think it would be way more risky to put cold goalie in at this point. I would predict the result would be 8 minutes 4 shots against, two goals allowed, Silovs back in the net. Not that I think Silovs is that much or any better than DeSmith. But this point Canucks should just go with Silovs.

  • @nINJAP3RUNA

    @THG I've been wondering what it really means that a team is struggling with scoring even though they get chances. This reason for losing is given quite often but it isn't elaborated at all. Is it bad luck? Is it a mental thing? Are the players just bad at shooting the puck? Is is something wrong with the game plan? Is it because the opposing goalie is playing really well? Especially when scoring is a problem for a longer period like it has been for the Canes in playoffs I think it should be elaborated further. Maybe this could be a video idea.

    • @maxfish4270
      @maxfish4270 Před 14 dny +1

      When a team doesn't win it is everything. Lack of talent, mental blocks, injuries, flawed systems, bad ref calls, luck of the balance. The teams that win have all the same problems just slightly less. It only seems a problem for Carolina and a few other teams like Boston, Toronto, and Edmonton because less than half the teams make the playoffs two years in a row.

    The Wild defense was horrible for months Ek’s fault or not you can't have a Selke winner on a team that can't stop pucks 🤦‍♂️lol. The Swayman extension will show what happens with Ullmark. Swayman was clearly happy he wasn't moved him and Ullmarks family are very close. With that in mind maybe he takes a 1 year deal around $5M to keep Ullmark till his deal is up then they both come back next summer at like $3M Ullmark and $7-$8M for Sway. If Ullmark also really wants to stay. He could obviously make more elsewhere but he also has never been a real workhorse starting 60+ games a year. The tandem works 🤷‍♂️.

    A lot of players want to play their contracts out with their teams, but you know what, being traded is a part of the business, and the team is going to do what’s best in their interest. And right now he’s the only trade chip they have that can bring a good return. They’ve already tried to trade him multiple times I mean he’s a good goalie. They are going to get a good return. Plus this summer his contract has less teams he can say no to a trade from. A lot of teams like Ottawa, San Jose, la, could use him as a full time starter.

    • @angushiltz4880
      @angushiltz4880 Před 14 dny

      There is 16 teams on his list so that's half the league. That might cut down his value some because a team doesn't have to worry about bidding against half the teams. So considering what teams are not on his list that may need a goalie that also cuts it down some.
