You can send back to them later for customizing I think. They do discounts on customizing stuff every couple months.

Nolan Patrick seems to finally be in form. I'm sure getting to 2C and further away from surgery both helped

Charlie O'Connor posted:

The biggest difference between Patrick then versus Patrick now is skating speed. In the early season, Patrick's gears seemed perpetually in neutral; there was no burst in his game, no way for him to gain separation from opposing defenders. Now, he's flying through the middle of the ice and turning into a controlled entry machine. With that increase in speed has come more assertiveness in the offensive zone as well, making him a perfect complement to the pass-first Voracek. At 5-on-5 last night, Patrick generated a whopping four high-danger scoring chances, while no other Flyers' player created more than one.

The result has been a line that has driven play (both raw and adjusted for quality) in four straight games, and has already chipped in with three goals, including Simmonds' tally on Tuesday. Optimizing the bottom-six is Dave Hakstol's next task, but it sure looks like he has the top two lines figured out.

Obviously it's way to early to say he's a bust, he's only 19, he was injured, and making the NHL that young is probably a good sign, etc. - but I completely forgot that Nolan Patrick even existed.

Fair. The flyers sheltered the hell out of his minutes right out of the gate and mostly stashed him on the 3rd line. Then he got concussed and was out a while.

Jamwad Hilder posted:

I guess maybe another part of it is the last two years we've had rookies stepping in right away as full-blown stars competing with each other in Matthews v Laine and McDavid v Eichel. I think I might have subconsciously expected the first and second overall picks to be immediate impact players (I occasionally forget about Nico too) and that's usually never the case, we've just been spoiled recently. Generally it's like what's happening this year where the star rookies are all older/had an extra year or two of development.

Part of that as well is Hextall's extreme patience. Nolan fell into Philadelphia's lap and Ron still refused to just stick him right at the top of the team and let him run poo poo. Nolan and Nico also aren't the 2nd Coming Of Jesus that McDavid, et al have been, but I also don't think New Jersey or Philadelphia are expecting them to be that, either. Matthews and McDavid are astounding one-in-a-generation talents. Nolan and Nico aren't that, but they're still drat good high 1st round picks and will likely both pan out as such as the years go on.

I don't think he was seeking retribution, but players definitely remember things like that when it happens to them. See: Palmieri's reaction to Gudas flattening him. It's such a small league that players get reps super fast.

It is kinda funny that 3 players in like a span of a month are about to be suspended for hits on Devils (Gudas, Marchand, Burrows). It's like Stevens is being exorcised (although I guess they wouldn't be suspended if that were the case).

If Gudas was going to be suspended they would have done it by now. He's already been in another game since then.
