2024-25 Calder Race

[HuGo Sham]

fun race this year...wolf and Michkov at the top...
Hutson maybe gets into the conversation if St Louis
takes his head out of his ass and plays him on the 1st PP.
Crazy to me that he's avg over 20 mins of ice time pg though

 

[Lunatik]

With how the last 2 goalies to win the Calder turned out i'm surprised Flames fans want Wolf to win it.

because what they did makes a difference to what Wolf's career will be.

so do you want to add those PP minutes on top of what he has currently or have the other Hab's defenseman take some of his work load?

Celebrini is making up for the lost games. if he stays healthy, it will be Mack

2G, 1A so far tonight…

I mean Michkov scores points nearly every game too..

 

[OverTheLine]

Celebrini probably won't win this season after missing so many games, given how good of a rookie class we have this year and how well they're all doing (contrary to some crazy people's genuinely unhinged beliefs in the Michkov thread, he's having an unbelievable 19-year old season and it's hard for me to see him losing it).

But oh boy is he the real deal. An 18-year old bonafide #1C playing 200ft hockey right out the gate. Amazing showing from him tonight.

Clear Canadian bias

 

[Fraser28]

I think it will be one of Michkov, Celebrini, Stankoven, or Wolf. But lots of time for things to change. Amazing race so far. My gut says it’ll end up a close call between Michkov and Celebrini when all is said and done.

 

[dmcccdmn]

And to think that Michkov and Celebrini could be playing together had the Sharks picked him instead of that weakling Smith.

 

[karltonian]

80% of mack's points are 5v5

 

[Luigi Lemieux]

If Celebrini keeps playing like this he'll make up any lost ground quickly. Most impressive rookie I've seen this year.

 

[Juxtaposer]

With all due respect to Stankoven, Hutson, and Michkov who are having excellent seasons, this is going to come down to Celebrini and Wolf.

That's a bold claim! If everyone keeps up their pace I think their raw numbers are just going to stand out vs. Celebrini.

 

[centipede2233]

I think michkov will win, 17 pts in his first 20 is quite impressive, he should get better as the season goes on

Of course, it’s only Michkov who should get better…

Seriously, my claim was not based on points as much as on the learning curve that Mack has been on.

Never underestimate the 200 foot game. If points are close between him and Mack, it will go to Mack. MM is pretty bad in his own end so he will need to really pile it on offensively. I’m curious which player will have the stamina to keep it up.

Should be an interesting race

Incredible prediction: The winner will be one of the four clear frontrunners.

That's going out on a ledge.

Michkov has basically no 5v5 points either. Almost all on the PP or 3v3 overtime.

Ahh, PP points don’t count.

lmao, how is Michkov bad in his own end? He’s def more talented offensively than Celebrini straight up and I love Celebrini’s game, hes awesome. Michkov started -9 as most the team was -8 to -14 now he’s -1 he’s very clearly playing a much, much better 200ft game since the season started. Lol but tell me you don’t watch without saying it.

Did you watch the game today? Or do you watch Michkov regularly?

 

[hohosaregood]

Hot take: Celebrini is funner to watch than Michkov.

 

[Kshahdoo]

Hot take: Celebrini is funner to watch than Michkov.

Of course. If you watch Celebrini only... Btw out of 3 points Celebrini scored vs Kings one was a secondary assist that didn't count. Another one was a PP goal that didn't count. So he scored the same 1 goal as Michkov.

 

[TruePowerSlave]

And to think that Michkov and Celebrini could be playing together had the Sharks picked him instead of that weakling Smith.

Many teams seemed to get brain freeze during that draft. The best prospect on the board? Nah, gimme someone else instead please.

 

[Lampedampe]

Where would you guys rank Edvinsson so far if he was eligible? He would be if he played one less game last year.

maybe the onus is more on hughes than msl. the habs really lack viable alternatives.
