Also both players making their name in the shadows of the more talked about greats (Wayne, Connor).
Yep. Looking forward to a Conn Smythe and a cup at some point down the road. That would make comparisons even more complete. I like that Mess and Drai both being power forwards as well and Mess comments were eloquent, to the point, and summed up the trophy itself pretty well. "You can't fake it, your opponents know, they know who they are lining up against"
That said its kind of funny to see most opponents responses to Leon goals and assists. Its like not even mad, its resigned most of the time. You don't see that too often. You see it a lot when Drai or McD make spectacular plays. Like its a "Can't touch this" response.
This should quiet some of the dunderhead "Leon isn't even good" we see so much from opponent posters.
