Around SBN: Kobe Bryant Isn't Up To Speed On Jeremy Lin, 'Linning'

Rob Schremp's 1st NHL goal was hilarious

Rob Schremp was a much, much, much, much-debated talent in Oilers fan circles.

If we think we're unsure of how much he can bring to the table on a consistent basis (and whether he's received ample opportunity to do so), we don't know the half of what Oilers fans went through in the five years since he was drafted.

So considering the one thing that is undisputed about Schremp -- that he has the hands of a hockey magician -- I found his first NHL goal some sort of awesome.

I'm not sure which made me belly-laugh more: That it was a squibbler that banked off Tim Thomas's foot (after Matt Moulson did the bulk of the work), or that in his goal celebration he ran up ice like a cow on fire, jumping spread eagle into Mark Streit's arms. I guarantee it did not go how he dreamed it up as a kid, and I guaran-damn-tee he doesn't care one bit.


You only score your first NHL goal once. (And by "you" I mean not you or me, but rather athletes who have actually done it.) Rob Schremp Hockey, unmistakably, made the most of his. Congratulations.

okposo

ko looked rejuvenated tonight. 2 assists.still needs to find the back of the net more often.whats with JT no sog?! i know a bruin dman made a great save on him it would have been a sure goal,but he has got to be more aggressive and stop waitingfor the perfect shot! Hey Dom, whens Bergy coming back?

They appeared to key on Tavares, understandably so. But he did what good players do: That assist was sublime, an example of making something from nothing, and making it happen from a somewhat non-threatening location.

I liked Okposo again. I think he’s had a good few games here, 8 assists in his last five. It will come.

Haven’t heard an update on Bergie, but since he’s listed as on IR it should be another week at least.

Picture

That picture just made it to my desktop… And phone…
I might even print a few to hand out at the office. Totally brilliant display of WIN!

As soon as I saw the event

I thought, “Oh god I hope they caught this in a still shot.” Perfect, just perfect.

Get that puck to the Hall!

Schremp played well… the passing and puckhandling is where its at. That pass he made to Gervais from the sideboards was outstanding. The young man now has 7 points in 17 career games… Excuse me if I dont read that stat line and think a 23 year old is a bust. Has less games played in his career than Jon Sim has this season go figure. If he keeps getting time out there people will be calling the move to pick up Rob one of the best moves this season
