That goal had me thinking- short-handed 2 on 1, what are the outcomes with Trouba leading the rush and passing to ________ ?
"Oh Fuck"- Wennberg- He'd take the pass right on the tape and chip it in the corner, Goodrow- would have been better off throwing a grenade with the pin pulled to him (thankfully Trouba recognized this), Gustafsson- he'd miss the net by 15 feet.
"Christ- I don't feel good about this"- Kakko- 100% chance he his Anderson right in the eye of the hurricane on his jersey, even if he was 10 feet away from the net. Schneider/Cuylle/Rempe - Each would have the pass hit the tape, immediately shit their pants and fumble it without getting a clean shot off.
"This should work... oh.. what the fuck was that?"- Kreider- Takes the pass, trucks Anderson while soring- goal waived off, 2 man advantage for Carolina. Lafreniere- backhand to forehand to backhand dekes that give Anderson vertigo to the point he misses the rest of the season- chips the backhand over the cage. Fox- perfect pass, 22mph wrister into an open catching glove.
"At least he hot the net"- Lindgren/Roslovic/Miller- Probably saved, but at least on net and make the keeper work a bit.
"Why has God Forsaken Me?" - Mika- perfect feed for the patented (in Sam voice) "one timer by Zibenejad... saved by Anderson". Game 5 Panarin- A perfect pass followed by a triple toe, triple salchow jump combo that wows the judges, but doesn't get the shot off (The judges are all 9.8 or 9.9 except the Russian judge who gives it a 6.2).
"Holy shit! A Goal!"- Trocheck/Vesey- No-nonsense snapper in the back of the net.
"Wildcard"- Igor receives a drop pass and fires a lase wrister top shelf.
