He's good enough for 7 minutes.. somehow I don't think giving him 5 extra minutes is going to ruin him.

Am I right that Bill has 0 hits in his games so far?

It's wild how defensive some people are on here.

Defensive? I'm not the one complaining that someone disagrees with me.
There's plenty of rookies who are treated just like Stromgren. On different teams. This is just not an unusual situation. And not Huska related.

Seems pretty nit-picky to me.

Valid, hand up, my bad to yourself and Gio.
Concluding opinion, wildly disagree with the player usage, think it's a terrible way to bring in players even if it's worked anecdotally in the past. Huska et all shouldn't be here by this time next year although they probably will.

Yeah I'm of the mind you have to do something with whatever opportunity you get. If it's 7 minutes, then show something in those 7 minutes. Generate a chance, throw a hit, block a shot. Do something.
Kuznetzov did that and now he's a full time NHLer.
Bru has done that to some extent too. You notice him.
Bill isn't earning a bigger look. That's on him.

That's what I'm thinking. You're not tired - give it. Stromgren looks pretty casual. Which may be unfair - skating style and posture sometimes disguise effort. And some guys look like they work hard but then you look back and they accomplish nothing except hitting themselves into the boards and being late getting back to the play. But to your point, yes - he also has no blocks, or takeaways (or giveaways).

One was him clipping the stick to his side - I almost thought it was him getting the call holding the stick or embellishment.

So he's McDavid without the offence?

The little girl has ear protection which is likely more important when you're standing that close to a goddamned Cannon!

Can you say that a little louder, please? I'm slightly deaf from standing too close to a cannon without ear protection.
Either that or type bigger, because I'm slightly blind from standing too close to a cannon without eye protection.
Actually, scratch that. I was standing right in front of the cannon and they were using live ammunition, so I'm actually dead now. That would explain my difficulties.
By the way, posting through a Ouija board is really slow.
