1. Dennis? Huh? What kind of lame insult is that?Thanks Dennis. I still don't see what the relevancy of Drai doing something 4 years ago when he hasn't maintained that level of play.
Nobody said Chara played with scrubs, and none of those players were apart of the thin defensive core that I mentioned Chara anchored. The Bruins defense wasn't very deep, and Chara logged lots of minutes.
Chara was an endurance freak. He was also an important leader, I believe he won the Messier award during that cup year.
I just can't see how Drai has put himself on a higher level. That is where he seems to be getting credit for something he hasn't done. Chara helped lead a team to a cup. Drai has the best player in the world and a good team around him, and will have other chances.
Anyways... You should probably check out his stats page. It would show you that he's consistently hit or paced for at least 100+ points in 6 straight years (5/6 he hit it). He's one of the most consistent elite goalscorer and passer threats in the league, as evidenced by being tied for most 50 goal, 50 assist seasons since 2000. Very good chance he becomes the sole holder of that title soon.
2. You basically just did. He had some top end defensive forwards AND defencemen playing with him, as well as two elite, superstar, Vezina winning goaltenders. Give me a break.
3. I'm not sure what you're not seeing about Draisaitl and the playoffs. Once again, since you continue to gloss over it, he's one of the most dominant playoff players EVER in the NHL.
Look, if you value "fitness freak" and the Messier award more than the Hart and Lindsay, then you do you. Have at it.
