Player Discussion: The Drama of Mark Scheifele in Two Acts

[PhilJets]

What percent of wheels points are related to playing with Scheifele?

Almost half of Wheelers point is on the PP.

The question is how much of Buff points is because of Wheeler

But seriously.

Schiefele is actually better offensively with Laine and Ehlers as his wingers.

But we cant complain..

Guy is a stud.....

The Jets have had 5 games in December tied at the end of regulation time:

Dec 1: Scheifele unassisted game winning goal in OT @ NJD. Scheifele’s winner was his 2nd goal of the game.

Dec 2: Scheifele shootout winner @ NYR (Lundqvist). Scheifele kicked off the Jets 3-goal 3rd period comeback with a PPG.

Dec 13: Morrissey GWG in OT vs EDM, Scheifele gets the primary assist. Scheifele also scored to tie the game midway through the 3rd period.

Dec 14: Scheifele GWG in OT @ CHI. Scheifele had 2 goals and an assist on the night.

Dec 16: Scheifele GWG in OT vs TBL. Scheifele also had 2 assists on the night, the primary assists on Ehlers’ goals tying the game at 3-3 then at 4-4.

Just in those 5 games, Scheifele had 11 points (7 G, 4 A), including 3 game winning OT goals, a primary assist on a GWG in OT, a game tying goal that sent a game to OT, a primary assist on a game tying goal that sent a game to OT, and a shootout winner.

If there was an olympics tomorrow he'd probably be ahead of Tavares for 3c after Mcdavid and Crosby and Bergeron as checking C

He'd be on McDavid's wing again.

He will. Mark my words.

 

[Evil Little]

Two goals and one assist this week.

...in overtime.

 

[PhilJets]

He'd be on McDavid's wing again.

He will. Mark my words.

It can be the other way around also

Also stood up for Morrisey when he got banged on Devils game. That goal was also so great from him. 55 playing unreal hockey.

What a clutch player Mark is. As the stakes rise so does his play. Anyways he is now 5-9-14 in his last 5 games and it would be shocking if he wasn't named one of the NHL stars of the week later today.

 

[irunthepeg]

I can't believe I was mad that we took him over Couturier.

 

[pictman]

I was reading the top 10 players posting on the main boards as well and it brought up a question.(in my mind)Could one of the analytics people on here tell me how important or ,accurate the turnover stats are? Do they give a pretty good overview of a players ability to drive possession? It seems to rarely be discussed and certainly wasn't taken into consideration much on that list.I am just not an analytics guy so don't get all technical or I will just fade out

If I remember correctly, logging of turnovers is really venue dependent and not very standardized - not sure how accurate these stats are for anything other than surface level evaluations.

 

[HannuJ]

Guessing that, if the 2011 draft was redone today, Scheifele would be first overall?

 

[McDLT]

Guessing that, if the 2011 draft was redone today, Scheifele would be first overall?

Definitely since Kucherov is a winger.

 

[Howard Chuck]

I can't believe I was mad that we took him over Couturier.

That was a very long running debate for many at the time!

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

He's quietly crawling up the league leaders in points.

 

[Sky04]

TB fan - Scheifele is my nominee for most underrated player in the league, guy is just a solid player all around and has the personality of a pure fan of hockey off the ice. Guy is definitely Captain material.

 

[jepjepjoo]

Guessing that, if the 2011 draft was redone today, Scheifele would be first overall?

1st Kucherov
2nd Scheifele
3rd Gaudreau

 

[Evil Little]

1st Kucherov
2nd Scheifele
3rd Gaudreau

Now rank them from least enigmatic to most.

From most GCB to least.

 

[Positive]

I can't believe I was mad that we took him over Couturier.

Granted there were a lot of people on the 'Shoulda Picked Couturier' train. Most fans just go by the draft board and trust central scouting. Also, Scheif's skating was terrible in his first couple of years; neither fast, nor agile, and he'd get knocked over by a breeze...was lots of hand-wringing by fans.

Now - heck of a strong skater, with shooting and playmaking skills among the best.

 

[ERYX]

Scheifele just gets better and better. He's in full beast mode right now. The "Bambi" quotes I remember from my first days reading this board seem so far away. I used to be somewhat indifferent to him but I can't help loving this guy. I love his character and work ethic and how that combines with skill to make such an awesome player!

 

[Arthur Fonzarelli]

Scheifele better be in the running for some NHL hardware this season.

At the very least he should be a shoe-in for the Bill Masterdon.

The description:

"given to the player who best exemplifies the qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship, and dedication to hockey"

describes Scheifele to a T.

 

[AnonoJet]

TB fan - Scheifele is my nominee for most underrated player in the league, guy is just a solid player all around and has the personality of a pure fan of hockey off the ice. Guy is definitely Captain material.

I am enjoying the interaction with Bolts fans. Usually, fan bases are at each other’s throats. Not so here. Awesome. And this is after a Bolt’s loss. Classy.

 

[Maukkis]

Guessing that, if the 2011 draft was redone today, Scheifele would be first overall?

Can't really say no to Kucherov, but I'd take Scheif over Gaudreau. That's a formidable top three to say the least.

 

[kanadalainen]

His games last week against NJ and the Isles were nothing short of amazing. I know he's good but his play in those games was spectacular.
He definitely is one of the best C's in the league.

 

[libertarian]

He'd be on McDavid's wing again.

He will. Mark my words.

Agree. With his shot/release and McD setting him up he most likely be the highest goal scorer in the tournament.

 

[JetsHomer]

He'd be on McDavid's wing again.

He will. Mark my words.

Just for fun, I'd think team Canada would probably stack up something like this. Hardest part about the lines is there are too many good players

Marchand - McDavid - Mackinnon
Tavares - Crosby - Stamkos
Hall - Scheifele - Marner
O'Reilly - Bergeron - Getzlaf
