An in his prime Lundqwist would have stopped that.

Love how he flipped the puck to himself.

 

[Bronson]

Ryan Strome 2.0. 5 goals, 15 assists, max.

Also, the NHL has banned 5 point games.

If Barzal stays healthy its close to a lock he gets 60 plus assists. How many goals? Anyone's guess? What a draft pick and what a player.

Thank you so much for that imagery.

I’ll go 24 goals and 66 assists.

Mike Bossy has 1 career short handed goal-during the regular season. Zero in the playoffs. He could help kill penalties, however.

Al Arbour used Bossy (with Trottier) on the PK at the tail end of their career - together.

I never saw Bossy as a big minutes well-conditioned player. He smoked a lot early in his career. But boy was he an effective goal scorer and incredibly smart in the offensive zone.

On Barzal, it's amazing how skilled he is and how fast he is with the pick on his stick. Side to side fast - only McDavid compares. Tavares skates better than Crosby did at his peak, which was also superb.

I don't see how he gets less than 80 points.

Hopefully the rest of his game rounds out (defensive play, turnovers and general high risk play that he can learn and Trotz can teach) - his offense is incredible

 

[redbull]

I'm saying he's lucky to get 40.

Sounds like a challenge.

I'm revising down to 39 points. 2 goals (on the PP) and 37 assists - screw you RDC

What's your sanity like heading into the season? Seeing Tavares in the Leafs jersey kinda gets me want to hurl. Couldn't imagine living in GTA though.

Is this correct? Or did you mistype?

I thought Redbull meant Bing Crosby, although I didn't necessarily agree that Tavares is a better skater than him.

Either hurl or don't hurl. Don't be so vacillatory.

Oof. My sentence was terrible.

I think it's a ban may be in order.

It's like that scene at the racetrack in A Bronx Tale. Freaking jinx.
