Player Discussion Ryan Nugent-Hopkins: The Silent Beast

[MessierII]

Great season, but I understand why he was ultimately passed-over.

It's tough to win hardware with only 50GP.

That’s a fairly standard starting goalie these days no? Ulmark literally won the vezna with 49 GP.

We were screwed out of 3 Calder awards by injury for 2 with Nuge and McDavid, and earlier, with Gretz getting screwed by the NHL's petty rules. Later, Sergei Makarov comes into the league and wins the Calder at age 31 (of course, as a Flame).

But, but, but the Soviet National Team and CSKA Moscow weren’t “pro” hockey so Sergei was a legitimate choice. Right?


Stupid NHL.

True, didn't realise that both him and Shesty in 2022 had so few starts.

I take everything back and demand a retroactive Calder for Skinner!
