Boy, regardless of whether or not O'Reilly is scoring, he just completely takes over when he's on the ice.

The James Spader of the NHL.

On the day Zadorov was sent down to the AHL, it's mind-boggling knowing what we gave up for someone that consistently dictates possession and tempo on the ice

Funny how life works sometimes.

 

And do I ever like it.

Can't remember the last time we had a guy like that.

I'm struggling to think of another player in the league who is even like that.

Ullmark's post play and side-to-side movement are both fixable, especially since he's so young.

 

That was just a young, rookie goalie mistake. The play that led to the goal notwithstanding.

Really? Toews, Kane, Getlaf, Ovi, Parise, ....it's nice to have that type of player but let's hold off on the coronation just yet.

Soon close. Kinda wish he shot that I stead of being fancy.

The setup was perfect, he had to pass. Moulson was tied up by the defender at the right time, is all.

Oops, looks like it was Moulson who had a "moment".

None of those guys play the game like O'Reilly though. They're all great possession players. But O'Reilly is so good at playing through contact. It really sets him apart.

We will have to agree to disagree. He is playing well and certainly making those around him better and that is good enough for me.

On the sports net feed on of the color guys said Jack reminds him of Mario, the other two were ready to have fit but settled on Getzlaf. Lmao. God forbid They upset the great white north viewing audience.

Seems like Pysyk and McCabe and Franson all make half rink passes tape to tape with regularity. We haven't had one d guy that could do that in years.

 

I've noticed this trend as well. Throw in Bogosian into the mix and watch out

Not sure the love fest for mario up here is that strong but whatever. I viewed it as more about acknowledging how talented Mario actually was and whether Jack was capable of living up to that.

I just thought it was funny how he was sorta taken to task. I have been fortunate to see Gretzky, Mario Orr, Beleveau Molginy, Bure Federov and Perreault live. Mario and Gilbert did things that I still can't figure out how they did it. I consider it the highest of compliments to mentioned in the same breath. But that's just me.

No sog nice kill
