Saw the replay. Absolute bomb of a shot.
- Hextall271


He's wired a couple home this year like that.

Can't remember a guy from the blue line on this team, other than a healthy Pronger, who could fire it like that.

Schenn looked better at C with those guys than he has in awhile. Made the simple play, got to the net and looked good.

He's a better center. ob just doesn't know it yet

Credit to Berube for making the change but I don't see how G and Jake get a pass, while Schenn had to be the problem. The change is made, Schenn draws a penalty instantly. Momentum begins from the PP and Schenn is on the ice after momentum continues to snowball for the second goal. G and Jake in my opinion were apart of the problem the past number of games. Giroux was terrible in Buffalo.

I agree. Haven't been that good tonight either.

Schenn always seems more comfortable in the middle.

Mark Streit has a pretty good shot. Better then Del Zotto's.

Agreed

He might be so dense, they ought to try telling him he's the center on L1, then watch him go to the net every shift

He might score 150 points then

Me either. I think he's played better the more he's played. Might be a piece on d going forward

His skating is going to be a question as a top 6 player until he finds a way to move faster or get smarter.

Streit has a good shot, but I haven't seem him will a goal in a tight spot the way I've seen MDZ do it.

MDZ also can't do a lot of things Streit does well....but MDZ's raw skill set is undeniable.

He's poopty on faceoffs. If he cleans that up, I think he can be a 2nd line center.

I can see Hextall go either way with him.

I can see Hexy moving him, thinking he can get another scrap heap guy next year....or he takes Coburn's place on the depth chart.

At least Luke has a skill set you can use....he's right handed and he'll use his body...he can fight a little. He doesn't handle the puck like a complete grenade.

I'm at a loss what Brayden Schenn is good at.

You know if the NHL gets a team in Vegas, every player not married with an NMC under the age of 30 would waive it to go to Vegas.

I think I just did.

And I don't really care for Luke Schenn very much.

I'll just show myself out.

WOOF -- hadn't thought of that, but man, that would definitely be one target-rich environment
