Habs vs Wings

[Gil Gunderson]

I don’t think their current rosters are far off from each other, but Demidov puts Montreal over the top.

Good point. Maybe Yzerman should hose your GM and take him too. Holl for Xhekaj + 4th round pick 2025. Oh wait, he already owns that one.

Yzerman should start by hosing his team to the playoffs.

Guy talks like Hutson is a 1 hit wonder meanwhile treats Yzerman like the last prophet when he's working his way towards the next rebuild already.

We said Raymond had a high sh% wich was true. It was near 20% and we said his production came too much from a unsustainable pp wich is still true. Again, it's wings fans who claimed that Raymond was significanly better than Suzuki, claiming he was on track to be like Kucherov

I could care less about Suzuki vs. Raymond debates, they are different players with different trajectories. However, it's a fact that Raymond has significantly outproduced Suzuki at the same age and has a production trajectory similar to players like Kucherov, better than guys like Kyle Connor etc., nothing about that has changed because he's been through a slump the last 15-20 games.

I'd also add that the PP scored 63 goals last season. This year on pace for 67. The major difference this year isn't that the PP is magically much better, it's that it now runs through Raymond. Even if it regresses to a 50 goal PP it's probably likely that Raymond's PP production keeps being higher than it was last season.

he's averaged a 10.5 on ice sh% over the past 3 seasons. That's 246 games bud.

And Raymond's averaged over a 15% shooting % in the past 3 seasons, bud. Still you guys seem to believe that the only true sample size are the 20 games during which he's been shooting below 10%.

they aren't close in size and only one of the 2 is a tough guy. Throwing checks doesn't make you a good fighter

Don't bother . Some poster confuse size with being a good fighter,
