Kessel-Comrie now thats a insult, Kessel will be WAY better then Comrie. The Kessel Bashing continues, what will people say when this guy burns ur teams with speed and his shot.
He was simply comparing the playing styles (small, speedy, good shot), but I think Kessel lacks the playmaking ability Comrie does and Comrie lacks the pure, explosive offensive talent that Kessel does.

anyone wanna give some comparisons for goalies? Helenius, Bernier, ect...?
From what I've heard of Helenius, he reminds me of J.S. Giguere. Not particularly athletic, doesn't make the crazy diving saves, but always makes the first save and has exceptional positioning and rebound control.
Bernier plays the typical Quebec butterfly style reminiscent of Patrick Roy. Has great fundamentals but isn't the best at taking away top corners (goes down a lot). Plays the percentage game, basically just gets into the position where the puck has the best chance of hitting him.
In short:
Helenius - J.S. Giguere
Bernier - Patrick Roy
Once again, playing styles folks.
