Next to Ehlers you mean?

 

I really like Samson, but I made it no secret that I wanted the Sabres to draft Ehlers.  I had watched him often here in Halifax.

 

That said, maybe not #2, but I wanted Murray to trade back into the high first round to take him ... not sure how he would have managed that though.

He is on pace for 66 points but has a horrible D game. As fast as Kane but just like Kane, he needs to learn to use his linemates better.

From the "friggin league is bending over backwards to make sure the leafs make the playoffs" files, the Bruins have possession in the leaves zone when their player loses a blade and the refs blow the whistle. Blatant.

He has the great pleasure of playing with Crosby, but Conor Sheary has had a tremendous year. In fact, his numbers closely resemble Jack's.

 

Sheary: 52 GP, 21 G, 28 A, 134 shots, +25

Eichel: 53 GP, 21 G, 28 A, 218 shots, -9

 

21 of Jack's points on the power play, compared to just 4 of Sheary's.

He's got waaaaaay less shots than Jack. The kid is a finisher. He's a garbage picker, but he's a finisher.

Absolutely. Completely different kind of player from Jack, which is why it's pretty neat that some of their stats are so similar. He's a guy I'd love to have on Jack's wing, in fact.

The decline of the Ducks after switching from Boudreau to Carlyle

More refutation of "systems are basically all the same" shtick: https://twitter.com/AndrewBerkshire/status/844603486096510981

 

I continue to think what appear to be relatively minor changes on paper actually produce large differences in practice.

anybody see the hit in the Leaf game versus Columbus that Torts as all upset over...it looked like maybe a 2 minute boarding call bu nothing more...Risto's hit was not even close to anything that should have even been a 5 minute penalty never mind a hearing. strange cause the refs miss obvious calls then call stuff that is so borderline...
