Exclamation [Video] Kris Versteeg - 16/17 Highlights


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wlBo5sLTpnk

Great signing. Especially to poach him away from the Oilers. Underrated skills, and seemed to mesh well with Bennett as well as a PP quarterback of sorts. Also lethal in the shootout which always helps.

Favourite plays: Has to be the queen wave to Rangers fans as he's getting kicked out of the game. His between the legs backhand pass to Brouwer in CBJ was also great. His shortside snipe vs ANA was ridiculous too.

Videos Completed This Summer:


I set up another poll asking what video the majority of people would like to see next:

Kind of frustrating to watch at 5v5 sometimes, but he was an amazing pickup and is the perfect third line scoring depth forward.

Really glad we have him back for another year; hope he stays healthy for a full 82! He is money in the shootout for us.

Underrated guy. It's secondary scoring guys like Versteeg that are key down the playoff stretch.

Such a great addition to the team, really happy to have him back. Should still be good value too even with that well-earned raise.

Is it just me or on that first shootout goal, did he bring the puck backwards and around the goalie to score? Not sure that one should have counted?

I thought so too for a second, but with further watching I'm pretty sure it was just the camera angle.

Looks like Frolik has the votes. Should be pretty quick as most of his goals/assists likely have appeared in other videos so I've pre-rendered those.

I'll slap together OT wins after that as well.

Anybody who owns a Versteeg jersey is uber-cool in my books. Such a great Flame, and so unexpected too.

Great signing for us last season. The wave when he left the Rangers game was golden.

Versteeg's Ver-set Skills Camp account liked and retweeted the video.

Adding to Backlund himself and Ferland's agent+agency both liking their respective videos this summer. Jackpot!

No, unfortunately I don't have that footage.

I spend the season archiving highlights after each Flames game. So I'm not in a position to do AHL players or players from other teams which I get the occasional request for as well.

I'd forgotten how good he is on the shoot out and how feisty he is.

Thanks for this, AC! I love your videos so much, and appreciate all the effort. Going through all those highlights sounds like a crazy amount of work....

This was my favourite part.
