2024-25 Rockford Icehogs season

In the past week I've seen people say that Korchinski and Nazar aren't good skaters and I just don't understand what people are watching. Is McDavid just pretty good?
I think McDavid may have broken perceptions, because it's one thing when the fastest players are guys Maxim Afinogenov, Darren Helm and Mason Raymond, but when it's also the guy who is just the best player overall, it warps perception of what a good NHL skater is.

People have said Nazar falls a lot (true) and Korchinski’s skating is not super explosive and NHL average (so by definition, not bad).

One guy said Nazar falls a lot and needs to learn to skate, immediately clarified that he meant that he falls a lot yet people on here spent the next 5 pages strawmanning him and calling him out. People here are WAY too emotionally attached to top prospects

Korch is a bit of an awkward skater but he just eats up ice. It doesn’t look overly pretty but it’s VERY effective
 
It sounds like WAY too many people don't know how to articulate what they are trying to say.
And once they clarify why continue to hound them lmao

I can’t remember when or who posted it but people m are still beating that Nazar is a bad skater drum like 2 weeks after that guy posted that even though he clarified what he meant. Y’all arguing with ghosts fr
