Race for the Calder - Part II

[Kshahdoo]

Dallas with 5 goals so far and no points for Robertson.

Robertson get taken off the Hintz/ Pavelski line? They combined for 7 points. Seem kinda wierd for Robertson to get shutout in that situation. But hockey is wierd sometimes.

 

[chchelseII]

Robertson put with Benn/Seguin for this game.

I'm JRob's biggest fan. The Calder is Kaprizov's and it's not particularly close.

11th goal in previous 11 games

Well, I don't think the even strength points argument was going to matter to most voters, but if it does, Kaprizov has the same amount as Robertson, now.

 

[Teppo]

Great assist on Rask's goal as well.

Still so weird seeing the Wild with a bonafide superstars in the making.

Surprise nobody has talked about the disparity of the divisions to make arguments for and against or did I miss it?

no one's stopping you from doing it

While others have weighed in on this matter on other threads, I have no clue whatsoever. For me there is no cross divisional play so it’s hard for me to give an opinion.

If division disparity can explain a 12 goal difference by all means, make the case.

Interesting that Hintz and Pavelski were able to dish out some serious damage all by themselves.

But it's still not over! It might look like a done deal but there's still game to go and points to score. And unlike some other people might think, IMO it's all about points and pace at this rate. Kaprizov isn't getting any undeserved Hart recognition. He might be a catalyst but definitely not the sole reason the Wild are doing so good.

I'd like to think the gap in goals will shrink between Matthews and Kaprizov next season if it's normal.

Kind of asking for it posting something like this but there's actually a potato in the comments claiming Robertson would be doing better than Kaprizov if their situations were reversed. Been trying to get someone on here to actually say it to no avail. Twitter is a magical place.

 

[Nino Noderreiter]

The way that I see it is that Robertson is a player that’s similar to say a Zuccarello. Great player with a great career playing on a lot of great lines and making everyone better. Super valuable but not the #1 on a line.

Kaprizov is a legit #1 superstar who can drive lines and create production out of thin air himself.

Note: The value of that player can even be seen in Kaprizov pre and post Zuccarello on his line.

Its over. Probably already engraving his name on the trophy.

Good on Robertson for at least making it competitive for a while. He's a keeper, for sure.

Blatantly false. Jason r is like fiala
If situation was reversed, Jason r wouldn't be leading wild to playoff, Jason wouldn't be leading wild in goals, & points

Jason R wouldn't transformed a franchise like kaprizov did with wild

Couple of pretty bad takes here. "Its all about points and pace" when Kaprizov has 11 goals in the last 11 games... then calling him A catalyst but not the sole reason they are doing good. This is the NHL, each team is going to have other catalysts to support the star player on the roster. The amount of clutch in the past 5 games alone for Kaprizov has been enough to warrant a put the team on my back approach. McDavid is having an unreal season but you act like he doesn't have Drai right there and is sole reason.. would he still have the success hes having, no doubt, but he isn't on some island.
