Epic Calder Race 2024-25

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

Says who lol, you? He’ll be playing his 44th tonight with at least 6 more starts to come in 13 remaining games
Great, so slightly more than 50 games - just for you. Still doesn’t make any difference in the discussion at hand. The other guy was comparing him to goalies who started 70+ games, won Vezinas, 40+ win seasons, all time great goaltending seasons. Ridiculous.

Like I said, Wolf’s season this year is comparable to Steve Mason, Andrew Raycroft, and yes, Martin Brodeur’s rookie campaigns (which wasn’t all that special, tbh).

Moving the goalposts is such a classic Habs fan move lol.

Hutson has been being compared to legendary Dmen with multiple Norrises and Cup runs under their belt. I can also say he’ll have to wait until Makar, Hughes, and a bunch of other guys always in the mix retire for him get a sniff.
 
Michkov winning the goal and point race.

Book it
if the dude had any concept of consistency he would’ve taken this easily. He’s achieved everything through bursts so far. We’ll see how much of it was truly tortz. Good start

I hope to cheer alongside you with Demidov next year

“Moving the goalposts” lol wtf? You interjected yourself into a convo without even knowing the context and now you think you can dictate the narrative and decide what quantifies moving the goalposts. Main character syndrome on full display here. Also, whatever others have said pages back isn’t my concern.

Michkov was fantastic tonight

Hutson was really good too though.

It's basically 4 guys putting up regular calder winning seasons at the same time

Wolf Celebrini Hutson Michkov all of these kids are already way too good at their respective positions , I say share the trophy between all 4 of them and let's all have a kumbaya celebrating hockey , these guys are filthy

Agreed, they are all going to have long NHL careers at a high level.
 
I still think people 30 years from now would say how did a goalie who finished out of the top 10 in every statistical category except for save percentage (7th) beat out a 18 year old future hall of fame center who was close to ppg and a player who had best offensive season from a defenseman in a generation.

Steve mason had 10 shutouts. 10! , and the crew he beat out didn't compare to Hutson and Celebrini.

Andrew raycroft had a more mediocre year but he was up against a 23 year olds Michael Ryder and Trent Hunter.
GSAA doesn’t matter? he’s first in 5 on 5 save%. He’s also near the top of the league in WAR. Flames are the 3rd lowest scoring team in the league.
 
If Hutson passes Lidstrom to be the defensemen with the most points as a rookie in over 30 years (and he has a good chance to pass Chelios for the most in Habs history), he better win the Calder.

What Wolf is doing is also extremely impressive.

One of these two guys better win it.

Hutson, unless I'm mistaken, moves into 11th place all-time rookie D, passing Ruotsalainen and Tallon?! And likely pass Persson any game now to move into 10th. Crazy.
