before the Devils drafted him, wasn't pretty much everyone, including the media, saying how he has a "booming" shot?
Well that's kinda false. When we drafted Larsson it was all about his defensive skills.

He was touted as one of the better offensive defencemen in the draft.

why? Just watching him in the world juniors it never seemed like that at all.
better is stamkos. better is crosby. better is not larsson.
In other words - potential Norris Trophy nominee in 2011.Larsson is never going to rack up points, but I expect him to be a 30-40 point defenceman every year in his prime, while playing shutdown defence for 25 minutes a night.

how can you gather his career stats from watching him in one of nhl hockey
I think once he starts hitting the net he will light it up
We have an anti-Kovy guy (Jim) and an anti-Parise guy (Muttley), guess he saw a niche as an anti-Larsson guy.
Unfortunately, he's just jumped into this with little regard to nuance and evolution of the persona. You gotta ease into the role before you can truly establish your own place in the "Pantheon of Haters," (which I mean in the absolute best way Jim/Muttley)
Don't forget our anti-Marty guy...
There was only 1 slot left on Mt. Douchemore and he went for it.
I was born in the same hospital as Benny Hill, true story. We moved from Hollybrook when I was little, pretty much when he died.
1) You`ve said "in his prime".Nah, he won't start getting consideration for the Norris for some time yet. We're getting way ahead of ourselves here.
This year, I want to see 15 points, good defence, and evidence that he is improving in the few weak areas of his game. I think he is delivering that.
1) You`ve said "in his prime".
2) I said 2011, the year where two of three nominees were 45point minute eaters more than point rackers.
And by "much" you mean "MUCH".Oh I see. I thought you meant you thought I was saying he'd be considered for the Norris this season. Now that you've explained it, it makes much more sense.
So apparently Larsson is a bust while Corrente and some other guy nobody knows are heading for stardom? I love this place
Who knew Brayn Murray had a account on HF?
That's the only logical explanation I have for someone bashing a 18 year old rookie after his 13th NHL game. I know it sucked dropping down 2 spots after we won the lottery but that's just the way it goes Sylvester.
the same way you know Steckel was better than his few games with the Devils showed?
*zing*
you would seriously rather have mills on line 4 than steckel?
62% on draws?
did you ever play real hockey where face offs matter?
