"But what I’m talking - with the angle on his skates - (there’s the camera) - some guys play more like this. (Lundqvist holds his hands up so his palms are parallel, fingers in tight and pointing towards the camera.) [Ersson]’s more of an inside guy – (Lundqvist changes the angle of his palms to face towards the ground, while remaining on a diagonal) which allows him to push right away to go side to side. We talked earlier in the show, his ability of coming up big on breakaways. That’s part of it. Being that low on that angle, and pushing quickly. So, love his game. Happy for him that he’s making most of this opportunity."

Henrik Lundqvist on Sam Ersson, PHI @ CHI, 2.21.24

Full transcript under the cut.

[Liam] McHugh: “…So now, you have Sam Ersson, who was gonna be the backup – He is the man now. He is well-liked on this team, it almost seems like they’re all pulling for him, cheering for him, gonna call him the backbone of this team. The question is, can he be a number one if you’re going to the playoffs? [To Lundqvist:] What are you seeing?”

[Henrik] Lundqvist: “You know, this is a great opportunity for him. To me he’s making the most of it. I’ve seen a bunch of clips of this guy playing now for months, and he’s moving really well – his edgework is so good; you see how low he stands here? So his edge work is so good- Some goalies put a lot of weight on their feet, just below their feet, but he’s more of an inside guy and that allows him to push side to side so quickly, and in control. And again, when you do get this opportunity to make the most of it, he earned the right to, you know, let’s see how far he can take it! And if they make the playoffs, you know, he can definitely make it happen and he’s not 20, he’s 24. He has experience.

"But what I’m talking - with the angle on his skates - (there’s the camera) - some guys play more like this. [Lundqvist holds his hands up so his palms are parallel, fingers in tight and pointing towards the camera.] He’s more of an inside guy – [Lundqvist changes the angle of his palms to face towards the ground, while remaining on a diagonal] which allows him to push right away to go side to side. We talked earlier in the show, his ability of coming up big on breakaways. That’s part of it. Being that low on that angle, and pushing quickly. So, love his game. Happy for him that he’s making most of this opportunity.”

[Anson] Carter: “That made complete sense–"

McHugh: "Before, earlier, we were backstage–"

Carter: "Hank was doing this – [makes the palms-towards-the-ground motion with his hands]"

McHugh: "Not talking to us, but doing [hands parallel, then diagonal, then parallel again] and the two of us were just, what are you…”

Lundqvist: "I’m trying to figure out - when I played, I was also on the inside angle, especially on breakaways – [hands diagonal] and that’s what I see from him, like when he’s, especially in tight, so sitting in the green room, just going, [makes motion] so hopefully I made sense! Hopefully…”

-trails off.

IN BETTER NEWS!!! SAM!!!!!

awh!!

[wehaveagathering]

pittsburgh fans look away im about to slander your boy

ok so the list of masterton trophy nominees are out right and i linked the article there. okay. crosby. sure. great player. one of the greatest of all time. why the fuck is he here. literally all of these other guys are like “was shuffled between the ahl and nhl 43 times in three years, was bought out by his original team and traded to somewhere across the country right before his wife gave birth and then suffered a major injury and had to get surgery and couldn’t play hockey for a year and then came back and got traded again and now he’s doing GREAT” and then crosby’s is like “One Of The Goats. The Pen Guins Suck Right Now And He Has To Deal With That. Is Going To Finish His Career In Pittsburgh, The Only En Aitch Ell Team He’s Ever Played For. Just Matched A Gretzky Record. Beloved By Many.” like ok you’re telling me theres not One single lone penguin who has been thru a touch more hardship in his nhl career?? come on now. go lick another boot

like SORRY imagine pitting a guy who’s probably experienced unimaginable racism in a league thats literally 97% white against Sidney Fucking Crosby, Most Famous Hockey Player After Gretzky in an award for Guy Who Has Committed And Persevered Thru Struggle. judging by everything ive heard abt crosby off the ice i would actually bet anything that he Does Not Care and does not think that he should win!!. PLEASE ffs. i get that we shouldnt be playing a game of Who Had It Harder but man….. crosby on here does not feel right to me 😵‍💫

(also giroux being on here for similar reasons LOL bc half of the reasoning between the lines there is just He Has To Play For The Sens)

anyway my top picks are probably couturier, lazar, samsonov, andersen, bailey, and rossi, honestly especially samsonov bc the way he came back this year had to be unbelievably difficult bc it was literally ENTIRELY mental, but so many of these guys deserve this trophy and more. eight of them being goalies feels like a well deserved recognition of how difficult that position is as well ❤️❤️

suggestion: if Brock Boeser stayed a goalie and poured the waterbottle on his head and did the goalie hair flip whenever he took his mask off

[csykora]

They wrapped with “Thanks Laurie for those pictures!!” so I’m guessing someone hasn’t called his mother enough from the bubble
