Epic Calder Battle in 2024-25 Season

[Bizz]

Celebrini is carrying his linemates. Michkov is being carried.

It's going to be an awesome race with Michkov ending up with more points (slightly more GP advantage with 8 at this point) versus the 200 way game of Celebrini and a small part of me wants Celebrini to win because there will be more false outrage from their side than if Celebrini loses.

Either way we have 2 excellent players here who are going to be stars and perhaps superstars for a long time.

I thought that Stank might have a chance before the season but he simply doesn't get enough PP TOI compared to the 2 front runners and Hutson just doesn't have the 2 way game to be in the race like faber did last year.

Wolf probably rounds out my top 5 if I had a ballot.

Both players will be superstars, no one would be this pissed or aggressive on the board if only they had 1st line upside lol

That wasn't my point but thank you for making my point for me.

That’s what I’m here for, although you post was better than mine . Definitely one of my favorite years watching hockey, should be a great finish. I highlighted/bolded in the quote what I was referring to lol

Don't say this to the 8 sharks fans in here, they're going to go banana's lmaoo. Michkov will continue to widen the gap, I watch both players, its easy to catch Sharks games in an Asia time zone. It's so obvious even beyond the advanced stats that absolutely back it up lol. I just found out the other day someone saying how they have a whole thread dedicated to talking about people who support Michkov on main boards, but we're the copers hahahaha. Celebrini will be a great player but he will never win a Hart or a Ross imo, it is what it is, even his durability is in question and he's only 18, these things matter.

Lol I just read your post and realized you don't even realize his post completely disagrees with your clown takes on Michkov's deployment, you must spend all day watching Celebrini in Tokyo just seething about how he is so muccch bettur then Michkov lol you probably have your own thread talking about it I just found out too omg seethe haha I can't wait for you to react with just like you do to literally every post that disagrees with you, you and the other 4.5 Michkov trolls must be so sad

Did you hear Michkov hit another post last gmae give him the Calder already

/S

The cognitive dissonance of the Michkov Mafia. Their points can contradict each other so Michkov is the best under any positive/negative context and circumstance.

I still think Michkov is going to win the Calder, but you can't seriously be ragging on Sharks fans for having a pro-Celebrini thread in their own board? When you're posting about how Demidov (?!) is better than Celebrini... inside the Lane Hutson thread?

Celebrini is a near PPG 18 year-old with excellent analytics and a nearly 50% face-off win percentage while playing as a 1C against top-level competition. You've said you don't have a personal vendetta or anything against him but I find it hard to believe given you seem to think so poorly about him (despite his objectively impressive resume to date) that you're going out of your way to call him worse than a player who's never seen NHL ice in a thread that has nothing to do with either of them.

I'm not even one of these Sharks fans who doesn't like Michkov. I have a soft-spot for Russian wingers (I was, embarrassingly, one of those delusional Ovechkin-is-better-than-Crosby 'copers' back in the day) and think he has the potential to be the best wing in the league since Kucherov.

The worst part about this thread is that we could be discussing how exciting all 4-5 candidates are and sharing great plays and analysis. Celebrini is super exciting, Michkov is a great personality with incredible skills and nose for goal, Wolf is super exciting, Hutson is controversially fascinating. Michkov is still the front runner but it's a lot more interesting now than it was before. But about 2 Michkov truthers insist on clowning and trolling and making it personal.

Anyone serious can see that this is an exciting and awesome Calder race and there are young studs with very different styles and positions to watch and compare. And Michkov deserves a ton of praise, on top of the others.

But no, let's make sweeping claims about entire player careers and say lol and LMFAO and "seethe" and shit on the Sharks fan base and respond to any interesting commentary with . It's stuff. I've had fun shit posting in response but I don't want to do this all year, so there may just be some ignores for me soon.

The worst part about this thread is several posters in here go all in on dumb takes and try their best to make their favourites unlikeable but neither Michkov nor Celebrini give a flying shit that they even exist. It's just a strange human nature to care so much about the stuff that really is not that important.
