Absolutely insane shot - didn't even see it, live, took until about the 3rd reply before I had it tracked.
Still think he needs to start in the A, but those 2 goals have to have given the coaching staff pause. Regardless, he is a top 6 winger just waiting to happen.
The old hockey saying about needing to take a job to get one out of camp may just apply to Gridin, the Flames know they need to find goals on the roster and Matvei looks like he has the tools to deliver.
35 saves and no star? Seattle still learning hockey or what?
Wills is not my favorite to listen too . He was in his first year or 2 pretty good IMO. Now not so much. He tonight had 2 great burns on air tho. Mickelson was saying some thing and he just said " I'm sorry , I didn't hear what you said . I'm still trying to find out what the hell Seattle's mascot is, send me messages if you know. That is an UGLY mascot if I've ever seen one." And the second was " I'm going to save Pat Stienberg alot of time. Pat dis not pick the stars 8n the arena tonight. If you wanna roast the person that did make it known but Pat didn't pick them. How do you play like that and not get a star ? Who is in charge in Seattle, roasts them on air. Let Pat know Seattle sucks"
Not gonna lie I totally forgot about Gridin until recently...forgot he was the first rounder from the Lindholm trade and just thought he was some older grinder based on the name alone for some reason.
Dude has crazy good scoring stats and it certainly looks like they might transfer...that SO is pretty special for a 19 year old I don't care if its preseason.
