Epic Calder Race 2024-25

When you're an offensive D and PP quarterback with forwards like Caufield, Suzuki, Laine, you're supposed to score a lot of points...

And Hutson is pretty bad defensively, -17 rating too

When you're an offensive D and PP quarterback with forwards like Caufield, Suzuki, Laine, you're supposed to score a lot of points...

And he does. Though he wasn't even the PP1 QB until like December.

What about on a per 60 basis? Considering celebrini gets a good bit more minutes per game.

Edit: Michkov was 0.03 pts/60 behind celebrini before the game tonight. He’s certainly ahead now

Coming into tonight:

Celebrini 2.03 p/60
Michkov 1.90 p/60

Besides, they weren't gloating about Michkov having the highest p/60 among rookies
And he's well behind guys like Soderblom (2.40) and LDBB (2.26) anyways.

Hutson might as well be a forward since he can’t play defense

He's been passable for a while now. He was terrible through the first 2 months of the season though.

Wow, -17........ 10 of those minus are from empty net.

I'm still sure Celebrini will win it, but it's obvious Michkov's conditioning isn't NHL level this season. When he plays rested, he's already a PPG+ player. He had 27 points in first 27 games, and then hit the wall.

 

[wetcoast]

Lol do you mean Michkov plays with better players than Celebrini? Really?

And I didn't mean consistency, I meant their best games.

Yes Michkov has played with better players this season than Celebrini and it's not even really close.

If Michkov goes on a tear for the rest of the season there’s no reason not to give it to him

 

[Kshahdoo]

Toffoli, Eklund, Zetterlund are better than any Flyers forward but TK and maybe Tippett. And don't forget they had Granlund for most of the season.

 

[karltonian]

back and forth we go!

 

[Gravity]

I like how some tribalist fans need to hate on other prospects to bring up their own player. Habs fan here and not a shred of doubt in my mind that Celebrini is like Barkov 2.0.

IMO it should be between Celebrini and Hutson as both have been catalysts for their team and have been consistent.

 

[Junohockeyfan]

Mr Cellebrini just got dummied by Caufield for the winning goal in OT. Minus 2 against Habs.

Lane Hurson plus 1 with an assist.

Conclusion: Michkov for calder!

 

[HuGo Sham]

Celebrini is unbelievable. Sharks have a cornerstone here. 18? Wow

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

Celebrini got dogwalked for the OT winner but he was arguably the best player on the ice for both teams tonight. That kid is a monster

Nice to see Michkov insert himself in the race again , hell of a rookie crop

Michkov attempting to one up Celebrini in OT. Rather than just getting absolutely walked he abandons his man and ends up chasing the puck into his own net.

That was tough to watch after he set up Walman twice for what should have been slam dunk goals earlier in OT.

Celebrini’s only deficiency compared to most of those guys is a few inches, but as an 18 y/o he has been damned impressive

This is a false narrative. He was in torts hell until upper management told torts to lighten up. As soon as his ice time went up and he got good linemates again he started scoring. This began before the break.

Oof, seeing him just give up the middle of the ice to go... no where? was really rough to watch.

No idea what he was thinking there.

He'll learn

 

[Kshahdoo]

This is a false narrative. He was in torts hell until upper management told torts to lighten up. As soon as his ice time went up and he got good linemates again he started scoring. This began before the break.

Look at his TOI in the first 10 or so games. He had three 21+ min games and another four 18+ min games. Then he got tired and played bad, was benched for a couple of games, got back rested and scored 10 points in 5 games, and then still hit the wall.

Now Torts tries to manage his TOI, he played under 14 min tonight and was benched at the end of the 3rd despite having a chance to score hatty.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Nice game for Cellebrini. No points and got dog walked on the game winner but he still played really well.

Hutson back with a two point lead in the race. Fastest defender to 40 assists since Nick Lidstrom.

 

[Fledgemyhedge]

I think no matter what I’m going to be most impressed with celebrini because hes doing what he’s doing at 18 but that’s not what the award is about. So we’ll see

Edit: Michkov was 0.03 pts/60 behind celebrini before the game tonight. He’s certainly ahead now.

Your back from your trip in the jungle ?

I wouldn't say the best player on the ice for both teams.

Will Smith had an incredible game. Suzuki was amazing.

But regardless, he's a great rookie.

They’re tied with Michkov at 44

Michkov is worst, saw that ot goal, lol

Celebrini/Hutson
Wolf

Michkov

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Michkov’s back?

There you go.

Best Calder race ever.
