Alex DeBrincat - Appreciation Thread ("everyone else" is having one :D)

[Artorius Horus T]

Alex is just so good player, yet...outside this place, no one talks about him elsewhere

 

[Kaners Bald Spot]

No. There were quite a few posters that advocated trading DeBrincat for Laine. And the Hawks adding Strome and/or draft picks to get it done. If I recall, KBS was on the side of reason in that discussion.

I always said that I thought that Cat and Laine were similar players, but I preferred Laine's size.
This was before I knew how much of a whiny bitch and floater he is.
I thought that Cat=>Laine straight up was fair.

Laine is basically Strome with an elite shot.
Also idk why a Finn would have any issues with Winnipeg anyway, it's not like Finland is any warmer lol.

DeBrincat's goals per game avg is the highest of Hawks players since
Jeremy Roenick's 50 goal season, back in 92-93 and that was the 92-93 season.

That's how awesome DeBrincat's been and that's just his goal scoring pace,
only 1 awesome part of his game

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Alex DeBrincat's goals per game avg, of this season, is 14th highest in Hawks franchise history

1968-1969 -> 2020-2021

1. Hull
2. Roenick
3. Hull
4. Roenick
5. DeBrincat

1945-1946 -> 2020-2021

1. Hull
2. Hull
3. Hull
4. Hull
5. Roenick
6. Hull
7. Hull
8. Hull
9. Roenick
10. DeBrincat

Highest ever goals per game avg by Hawks player's are by Bentley brothers

Doug Bentley, who scored 38 goals, in just 50 games
Max Bentley, who scored 31 goals in just 47 games
in 43-44 & 44-45 season's

Edit : that's not actually true...sorry, Bobby Hull has the highest ones, but
other than that all of the above are

Debrincat has better then hoped for this year. Hopefully he can keep this up for a few years and we can get a supporting cast around him.

I still think Laine will be a great player. To0 much skill.

47 goal pace over a full season! Would be pretty amazing to see him hit 50 one of these years.

Even with the down year last season he is still averaging 33 goals per 82 games over his career.

 

[CallMeShaft]

Still not as good as Kevin Fiala...

Spoiler

f*** you, main boards!

 

[SuterHaglshev]

He legit has a case for being the most underrated player in the league.

Well, that's easier said this year, as he doesn't have Toews dragging him down.

 

[Ace Rothstein]

He should get it but really hope he gets one to hit the 30 mark.

Pretty good grab his draft year considering the Hawks didn't have a first...Bowmans' best pick I believe

Kevin Hayes(even tho he didn't sign)
Justin Holl(had to develop in Leafs system)
Stephan Johns(never had Hawks chance)
Joakim Nordstrom

Phillip Danault(uncharacteristicly traded)
Adam Clendening(minor leaguer)
Brandon Saad
Klas Dahlbeck(remember him)
Andrew Shaw

Teuvo Teravainen
Vinny Hinostroza

Ryan Hartman(great trade return)
Carl Dahlstrom
John Hayden
Tyler Motte(throw in regret)

Nick Schmaltz
Dylan Sikura(hyped)

Dennis Gilbert(2015 only bad draft for Stan)

Alex DeBrincat(super steal in rnd 2)
Lucas Carlsson(see Dahlbeck Dahlstrom)

Henri Jokiharju(lateral trade)
Ian Mitchell

Adam Boqvist
Nicolas Beaudin(via Hartman)
Philipp Kurashev(via Hartman pt 2)

Kirby Dach

Lukas Reichel

Yup I think he's the best!

You're gonna see more successful picks out of the 2020 draft than just Reichel.

Because it was mothers day yesterday. (for you i suppose it still is)
Alex and his mom

 

[Malaka]

DeBrincat is a stud. Imagine wanting to trade him after last season. Imagine wanting to trade him for Laine.....

We could get Sergachev though

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Interesting tit bit of Alex's 32 goals, most of them were clutch goals.
1-0, 1-1, 1-2, 3-4, 2-2, 3-3, 5-5 goals and game winning goals.

He really game Hawks a chance to win games this season, way more than not.
Hawks MVP of this season, no doubt. Like Kevin Lankinen did,... most of the season,
gave Hawks a chance to win games.


(not my video, first are his last goals of his season, then its in order).

 

[Brightwing]

Guys. They just released the NHL fan's choice awards and Cat is not in the running for best cat. HOW DARE THEY?

 

[Brightwing]

Seriously, is DeBrincat Kane's secret son? Like there's a resemblance here, no? Does the math work out?

Ok, this is just cute.
