habscout Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 5 hours ago, Commandant said: Why did Lehkonen pass? He had two chances late in the period and each time passed the puck. It's one thing to be unselfish, but it was not a slam dunk clear path to the empty net. I'm saying that was a dumb play and I really question his hockey sense when it comes to offence. To me, he's only going to be a really good 4th line player, or he'll be traded out of Montreal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's a third line player, but i agree his offence won't be high end 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neech Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Maybe Armia is the only Finn allowed to score empty netters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

habscout Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 5 hours ago, Trizzak said: How did he score 18 goals in his rookie year? True, and when he did his shooting percentage that season was 11.4%; very respectable. Last season, it was 7.3% This season so far, it's 5.6%. That's a disturbing trend, even for a player who is mostly a 3rd line player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shooting percentage doesnt typically work that way. Its usually something that is highly variable and then reverts to the mean. Its likely his rookie season shooting percentage is inflated, and that this season is a too low, and that his true shooting talent is around 8-10% like most NHL forwards. It wouldnt surprise any analyst to see it back in that range next year rather than following a "trend" and continuing to fall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hope, but I would not mind flipping him in a package for LD help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neech Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 A couple years ago everyone was lauding his shot as one of his best assets and one of the best on the team. I'm thinking it can't be as bad as it's seemed this year and eventually he'll get back to the 15-20 goals of his rookie year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He puts a lot into the goalie's chest, or misses the net. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he does not play, Thompson could take his spot. Last time these teams met His wife would drop him just for not playing one game!!? Harsh.
