i always thought he was a sniper type in the vain of Laine (probably because they are both finnish 2nd OA picks) but he's more like a puck possession, grind below the circles guy. i still wish he'd get more slot shots because i think that takes his game to the next level

Seems like those kids are just congealing as a line and finding their game. I think they will sort it out. For now, I'll take their production.

No longer the kid line…

GAG line. I assume everyone knows the reference

Leave it to the espn rules analyst to agree with reeves getting the only call. Glad chelios pushed back on it and said it was brutal

“Rules analysts” or former refs that they have on national games seem to almost always agree with the calls. Even better Is when they’re asked to react in real time to a challenge they literally offer nothing. It’s always “well what they’re looking at here is to see if he was in the zone before the puck. If they decide he was it should be no goal.” Thanks skippy

Love Mess and Chelios ripping that call on Reaves. What a shame moron Biz isn't here to tell us Reaves should have gotten 4 mins

Im hoping he takes on more of that Iginla power forward style. Physical and shoots from everywhere.

Would love an Iggy type of player.

That was some serious bs man. Thank god they overcame that gift wrapped early xmas present. Even the ranger haters has to squirm on that one now of course Reaves looks like a goat

That’s what I was expecting too. He seems like a very shy person, probably a little uncomfortable overseas and figuring out his path. Plus the pressure of being the #2 pick.

I think when he finds some confidence and breaks out he will be everything we’ve been hoping for.

Even though they're no longer being paid by the league they don't want to ruffle feathers and lose the gig.

Yeah they never offer anything to anyone that is more than a casual fan. Complete waste of time really. I wish we weren't stuck with poopty espn

That's a brutal call in the regular season. Imagine calling that in game 2 of the ECF in the first 5 minutes of the game. (frank)in Rooney is notorious for screwing the rangers

The best is in the nfl when they bring in ex kickers to describe the field goal before they attempt the kick lol

Since the refs wanted to set the tone they should have sent them both to the sin bin.

Don't worry, he'll settle in by game 4.
