Depends what wing you go on depending on whether you're left handed or right handed. And then it changes the angle that you attack the net at on every rush. It's like going to Europe and driving on the left side of the road when you're used to driving on the right side.

Yeah I'm not saying the positions are interchangeable, but there's absolutely no reason that after, say, an entire training camp practicing on the wing...that some of the most elite hockey players on the planet can't make it work.

His face looks like someone stuffed a zip lock bag full of cookie dough and beat it with a wiffleball bat.

An oddly accurate description. Still better looking than Krieder's O face.

Game 1 vs:

Warren Foegele - Aleksi Saarela - Julien Gauthier
Sergei Tolchinsky - Nicolas Roy - Valentin Zykov
Janne Kuokkanen - Lucas Wallmark - Hudson Elynuik
Andrew Poturalski - Clark Bishop - Spencer Smallman

Extra Forwards: Steven Lorentz, Mike Ferrantino

Jake Bean - Haydn Fleury
Josh Wesley - Roland McKeown
Alex Peters - Noah Carroll

Extra Defenseman: Ben Gleason

Alex Nedeljkovic, Callum Booth and Jeremy Helvig will probably all share goaltending duties, with Nedeljkovic getting the extra start.
- BINGO!

Gonna be a good player. Fleury idk about. Thought he'd be better by now.

Hayes is in the running for one of the ugliest guys in the league.

Ovechkin, one of the most elite hockey players of all time, took a full season before he became comfortable.

Except driving is a simple task, monkey are trained to do it.

How about this metaphor instead...writing your entire life with your right hand and then having to switch permanently to your left.

That's better.

Fleury was heads and tails ahead of everyone at development camp, apparently.

He had a really good year despite what his stats show. Has a real shot at being on the team.

Kreider only does that for the playoffs, so that usually means he's playing well.

Exactly..

Right up there with Jokinen, Miller and Lundqvist.

Exactly..

- rangerdanger94

Comfortable is one thing, but considering he has consistently hovered at-around-or-better than a PPG for as long as you look back, I don't think it was that big of a deal for him. There's a learning curve for sure, but I don't think it's that steep.

If only he could shoot the puck half as well as he can throw knives.

His production dropped from 50+ goals and 109+ points to like 32 and 85 which is a huge drop off.

On a side note, how ridiculous is it that a 32 goal PPG season is considered a disappointment for that guy

Right up there with Jokinen, Miller and Lundqvist.

My gf wants to bang Hank, I told her me 1st.

He is equally lethal with both from what I've seen. A true talent.

He has magnificent hair, that I'll admit. The rest of him looks like twice smoked jerky.
