[Saundies]

The honey badger for Brendan Gallagher is literally the most perfect nickname for a person I've ever heard.

Among his Bruins teammates, Marchand is known as "Honey Badger."[9]

PhysicX had to wear this avatar for 2 weeks because of it!!

 

[Cyclones Rock]

The top 3 rookie scorers to this point are physical giants. I just think it's funny given the size obsession so many on this board have.

1) Cory Conacher is listed at 5'8". He's closer to DD's size (5'5") than that.

2) Jonathan Huberdeau comes in at 6'1" and a hulking 177 lbs.

3) Gallagher is listed at 5'9". What's he run in reality? 5'7"?

That +12 really stands out, doesn't it? That has to have an impact on deciding the Calder.

That and 4 less GP really stands out to me, although he needs to be at least within a point or two of Conacher if he wants to win it.

 

[ZARTONK]

Someone posted this in a GDT I believe a couple of weeks ago.

Also impressive that the only other rookie to be +, and by a LOT, is one Alex Galchenyuk. Go Habs!

 

[Jerky]

Also, consider that he has the least amount of ice time as well and it's more impressive

 

[OneSharpMarble]

Nice that Tarasenko fell apart, he started out like a maniac.
