Pskov Wings Fan 71 Report post Posted August 20, 2009 I think Eaves can be good in shootout. I seem to remember that he is quite skilled. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Namingway 146 Report post Posted August 20, 2009 I think Leino can be pretty sweet when it comes down to shootouts. Didn't he score an awesome one in the preseason last year? I never got to see it but I remember hearing about it a lot that day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Herr Hockey 0 Report post Posted August 20, 2009 I can't wait to see Hank pull off a few half-assed attempts at the Forsberg move!!! It will be Pav, Hank, and Williams, but Hank just isn't that great at the shootout. Babcock needs to experiment with others in his place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Drake_Marcus 890 Report post Posted August 20, 2009 (edited) i'm guessing... 1-zetterberg 2-datsyuk 3-bertuzzi 4-franzen 5-williams right? Nailed it. Bertuzzi had 2 shootout winners on 3 attempts last year as a Flame (tops on the team), so he'll definitely be a staple of the shootout now. Although I wouldn't be surprised to see Williams and Franzen switched in that order. EDIT: Whoops-- glaring error: Datsyuk is always first in the shootout order. He's easily one of the best (if not the best) one on one players in the league. Edited August 20, 2009 by Drake_Marcus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

under_par_00 45 Report post Posted August 20, 2009 (edited) I think that Dats and Z will be guaranteed in the shootout. THe third will be a random of Leino, Franzen, Flipper, Bert, Williams, or Eaves. Edited August 20, 2009 by under_par_00 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NeverForgetMac25 483 Report post Posted August 20, 2009 What chance is there that Draper gets one of the top 3 slots? When he stops shooting the puck wide of the net every breakaway opportunity he gets. Sidenote: Does anyone remember a few years back when someone created the thread entitled, "Book Titles You'll Never See?" I loved when some suggest the title, "Soft Hands, By Kris Draper".

Lovin Jiri Fischer 147 Report post Posted August 20, 2009 What it will be (most likely) 1. Datsyuk 2. Zetterberg 3. Williams It was in this order when we had Williams so I see them going back to it. What it should be 1. Datsyuk 2. Bertuzzi 3. Filp I love Hank as much as the next girl but shootouts are not his forte. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
b.shanafan14 733 Report post Posted August 20, 2009 Its going to be: 1) Pav 2) Hank 3) Williams With Franzen, Filppula and Bert being the extra shooters, in no particular order, probably changing as the season progresses. I think everyone is a bit too critical of Zetterberg's shootout prowess. The guy has a great shot on both fore and backhand and has a head/kick fake that freezes goalies dead, he just really, really needs to stop trying the Forsberg move everytime. That move needs a goalie to be pretty antsy in the crease and has to be a once-in-a-bluemoon move like Pavel's drag move, right now Hank goes for the Foppa trick probably every other shootout.

bonan78 1 Report post Posted August 20, 2009 I agree that many here are too critical of Zetterberg's shootout prowess. I on the other hand am less than impressed with what I've seen of Williams, I searched Youtube and many other sites to see what JW brings to the table in terms of shootout moves, and frankly I was bored. I would like to see Babcock go with whoever has the hot hand at the time. I would like to see Filppula, Franzen, and Leino get a few cracks at the shootout this year, we all know the Mule has great hands, I've seen Leino's shootout move from last pre-season, and Filppula has some nice moves on breakaways and the penalty shots he took in 07-08. But, I have a feeling Babcock will stick with the same shooters all season regardless of results, and I have a sinking feeling that JW will be the 3rd shooter.

Sidenote: Does anyone remember a few years back when someone created the thread entitled, "Book Titles You'll Never See?" I loved when some suggest the title, "Soft Hands, By Kris Draper". Hey, I remember last year he scored on a breakaway by firing a slapshot. Apparently, his slapshot is more accurate than his wrister, which is kind of strange since it's usually the opposite for every other player. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vladinator 0 Report post Posted August 20, 2009 Shootouts are a lazy way to end a game, therefore they suck... That being said, Datsyuk and Zetts are the obvious 1 & 2...as others have said, from there it boils down to who is having a good game or on a hot run...
