I enjoy how you can’t even be honest about counting months (December to July vs. December to August). It speaks volumes that you have to fudge even the most minor of factual details.

No one brought up Buium, who is now top 10 in NCAA points. I’ll explain simply why I won’t use the same standard: Bedard is one of the 10 most purely skilled hockey players on the planet. Luchanko is 20th in OHL points/game. For your argument to hold, Luchanko would have to be besting Buium’s draft season. This is tangential and a waste of my time but I’ll repeat what I said this past summer: extra months of development aren’t magical and need a reason to matter.
Meh. Barkey 11 points last 5 games, Jett 10 points last 5 games. Heater?
If Jett can score 1.5 ppg on that lousy team . . . though if he's lucky, he gets traded to London.
Barkey had mono, maybe he's healthy, maybe he's been lucky.
I'd wait until the season plays out. Players go hot and cold.

Buium is on a high scoring team, two forwards, Devine and Thompson, lead the NCAA, two other forwards are ninth and eleventh.

So is he the reason or the beneficiary?

Sam Rinzel is two points behind him, but he's also on a team with 3 forwards in the top 20 in scoring and 23rd and 25th.

It's harder to score when you're the only legitimate threat on your team.
Knuble is in that situation on Notre Dame.

december to july means almost a year younger?

Yes, 70% of a year qualifies as “almost.” What the heck is this semantics?

Bedard had 61 points in 68 games with the worst supporting cast in the league (even worse this year) as a true 18 year old last year, his first professional season. Michkov’s 18 year old season was his draft year. Michkov might very well be the 2nd best player in this class when it’s all done — that’s okay!

Remember when Chuck still had 3 days to trade JVR? Or whatever it was

Here is the interview:

My translation from 1:57:
"you must respect every moment in the game you have and you must have a killer instinct and finish it every time".

"Cold blooded" was a literal word by word translation from Russian.

In my opinion the best way to translate it - "killer instinct".
"Stay cool calm and collected" - is also good enough.

P.s.
Also, there is an English phrase "cold blooded murderer" that implies killing someone without emotions. Typically because emotions are in a way of doing it. In other words describing someone who "acts like a professional" killer. So "acting like a pro" is also good enough translation here.

Please apply to the Flyers to work as a translator. Thank you.
