Agreed, AK is more of a playmaker, while Horns is more of a goal scorer.
Hornquist is a poor mans Holmstrom. He parks his ass in front of the goal tender, gets deflections, rebounds, and just as important, screens the goalie so other shooters get goals they can't even see being put on net. He is easily my fav. Predator. Glad we locked him up, cause noone in franchise history has shown a constant willingness to park in front of the goalie like he has, and take the constant abuse for it that he does. His worth to the team is worth his weight in gold.
I like Hornqvist, but Hartnell did exactly what he does now. That said, Hartnell didn't score 30 in a season until now, but still.
I watched the replay last night at 1, and we totally Dominated that team in their own building. They only had lost 5 games there prior the the beatdown we gave them last night. Im confident we can beat them in the playoffs regardless of who has home ice.Also, the 47-11-46 line needs to stick. Detroit looked absolutely lost with AK and Rads on the ice at the same time, and they seemed to have some chemistry.
Now that we have the inside track to home ice, we've got to come out with a strong effort tonight. I'm sure Chicago will want some revenge after the stomping last week.
