In my opinion Marchand is a bit frustrated by the abuse he has been taking without drawing calls
Some dimensions simply cannot be quantified easily, but in addition to being dominant offensively, he makes every single player on the ice with him better.
This happens every game and almost every shift. The NHL lets far too much stuff go if Brad is on the receiving end.In my opinion Marchand is a bit frustrated by the abuse he has been taking without drawing calls
Is there any linemate of mcdavid that plays worst away from him?
Maroon? Kassian?
Hall got traded because he didnt mess with mcdavid
Hopkins gets no boost
Neal did ok on pp... for a few games
Is draisatl noticeably differnt?
Guys like gretzky and lemieux made everyone better
Evidence says marchand makes everyone better
Its not easy to find alot of other guys that just elevate everyone
I mean the narrative on crosby is no one plays well with him. People are always saying krejci has no wingers.
In edmonton they keep saying mcdavid needs better linemates
McDavid's been top 3 in the league for assists for 3 straight years and is on track to do it again for a 4th, but he doesn't make his linemates better and more effective?
Who's benefiting from all these quality passes then and finishing them off with goals? A ghost?
assists is offense right? I think I would admit hes the top scoring forward in the nhl the past 3 years...
its 1 dimension of hockey that is very important... and hes spectacular at it... super exciting... I wont blame you for being enthralled by his highlights. im also enthralled by his highlights
hes not very physical
honestly rather average defensively
hes not a rhah rhah speaker in the dressing room
theres always a desperate scramble to find linemates for him because only drasailt plays well on his wing
he does 1 single dimension so well... it scares the opposition and throws them off their game... hes in their heads and they dont play their normal hockey against him
so... he has an intimidation factor... based on his 1 part of his game...
marchand just does tons of things that McDavid doesnt... and as far as the offense goes theres not a huge differnce
Came here looking for a link. It’s not available where I liveAnybody going to watch his My Story episode tonight? Sounds like it will be good
4 straight 80 point seasons for Bradley... only the 5th Bruin to do that. #63 is going to the rafters, for sure.
His mid-career jump is pretty unbelievable.
First (full) five seasons of his career, he averaged 52 points per 82 games (basically 26G/26A). In his next 5 seasons, his 82-game point pace is 91 (38G/53A). How many players break out in their 6th/7th year in the league?
Part of the reason is Pastrnak and his powerplay time has increased, but I think a major factor is his shooting, or rather the number of shots he takes. First five seasons he averaged 2 shots on goal per game. In the next five seasons, it's increased to close to 3 per game. He's always had a good shot, he just needed to use it more, and his willingness to shoot has added aggressiveness to his overall offensive game.
