I mean, the dude looks slow and I don't mean the kind of "tall guy" deceiving speed, but more lawn tractor on the Autobahn slow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you've watched Thompson play - including in the preseason - you should have seen that his straight line speed is good. He's not quick. And, as dudacek notes, he plays slow.

I might not be able to watch too much of this one then! If you have any kind of content provider (such as DirecTV, Dish, cable), you can watch the game on the NBCSN app. You might even be able to use your NHL.tv credentials to sign onto NBCSN. It's not so much that NHL.tv subscription doesn't work for games on national networks; it's that the national networks such as NBCSN want to get the advertising revenue from your viewing, or they want to control the ads you see (i.e., try to convince you to pay for NBCSN premium access).

nfreeman Posted November 13, 2018 Report Share Posted November 13, 2018 I don’t think we’ve seen nearly enough from TT to come to any kind of conclusion on him. And while I’ve been pleased with the effectiveness of the forecheck produced by the checking line, I wouldn’t say that they’ve even approached the point where subbing TT in for one of them is NFW.

Does anyone feel more comfortable with TT on that line against the Lightning instead of Berglund? Does anyone suspect that Bergie is nursing an injury?

I'd guess they're saving Vasilevsky for Pittsburgh on Thursday Just general purpose: I wonder if the numbers bear out playing your backup vs. weaker opponents. Would it be better to play a stronger goalie against a weaker team and increase your chance of taking that 'easier' win? Obviously this is dependent on who the starter and backup are.

As I understand it, playing slow doesn't refer to quickness in smaller spaces. It's more about how (quickly) the player processes the game and how (well) the player makes decisions on what to do with the puck and/or their positioning on the ice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
