Habs vs Wings

[Pavels Dog]

Nothing delusional about it. Edvinsson is the same size as Hedman and is objectively playing better defense than Hedman was at the same age. however he is not even in the same galaxy as Hedman offensively and he’s almost certainly not going to get there either.

Hedman at 18 in the SHL: 21 points in 43 games
Edvinsson at 18 in the SHL: 19 points in 44 games

Hedman at 21 in the NHL: 23 points in 61 games
Edvinsson at 21 in the NHL: 21 points in 50 games

Hedman currently - 25 EVP
Edvinsson - 20 EVP

Totally fair and reasonable to not expect Edvinsson to develop into a top PP QB like Hedman did, but I have no idea why we have to pretend they're not "in the same galaxy".

You’re right. Really just limiting my expectations but the stats are similar so far.

Not sure how Detroit fans feel about there team, but this habs fan is loving the way the kids are growing and having fun on the ice.

Breath of fresh air compared to bargain bin days.

Considering the recent run has been driven by the core and the young kids, Wings fans are feeling pretty good as well.

Dach isn’t good and Laine just got benched again. This is for all the habs fans insisting laine was going to be different for them and that dach will actually be a difference maker. It’s funny how as soon as habs fans started to try and make fun of Detroit and gloat about their team, they tanked down the standings and Detroit passed them while winning head to head. Montreal has absolutely great prospects and are on the right track, but the way some Montreal fans were talking about them in comparison to Detroit was insane. Detroit is ahead right now, but that could change in the future.

Those teams are really close.
