Makar wins the Calder.
I didn't think anyone would challenge Makar but Hughes was so good this year he would have gotten my internet vote. He was legitimately carrying Vancouver to the playoffs.
Makar wins the Calder.
Draisaitl wins the Art Ross, the Lindsay, and (seemingly) the Hart trophy. What a year for him.
MacKinnon would've been my pick for the Hart, but Draisaitl deserves it too.
Yeah, that seems to be the biggest difference between McDavid/Draisaitl and Crosby/Malkin. Crosby and Malkin elevate their linemates. Crosby even plays better without Malkin.What is interesting about Drai and McDavid is how they play together on the ice. Drai basically is the center out there when they are together. If Edmonton is ever going to be legit cup contenders these two have to be effective without each other.
Hasn't Panarin played on a line with Zibanejad, one of the most underrated centers in the entire league? He didn't carry that team all by himself.I'd give Hart to Panarin. Not sure if he's ever gonna have a year like this. He was nuts on an awful team. I doubt Mackinnon has that big of impact if he plays for rags. Not saying Panarin is a better player, but he had a monster season that could very well be an outlier for rest of his career.
Also another tidbit is Mack the good ole canadian boy was less favoured by media than German and Drai dominating despite his extension being crowned as huge overpay and killing RFA market for the future.
Anyway back to Leafs Petro talk
Panarin is going nuts for the Rags...
1st in the league in 5v5 points (54)
4th in the league total points (83)
A 23 point gap between him and 2nd place on his team in scoring.
To compare, that's like the gap between our top scorer (Couturier with 55) and our 7th place scorer (Provorov with 31).
His most common linemate is Strome and...
Strome with Panarin (783:39)
57.57 CF%
60.91 xGF%
Strome without Panarin (437:34)
33.06 CF%
33.57 xGF%
Back when I was university, our local pub on campus simply put up some signs saying "Bare Naked Ladies Friday Night at 10pm at the Goresbrook Pub"BNL are in the same tier as Green Day and Red Hot Chilli Peppers,,,,,
PURE SHIT !!
You can't seriously think McDavid/Draisatl don't elevate their linemates. The fact that they play together isnt a factor since their team is so effing appalling it would rival 13-15 buffaslugs. Ever since Pronger asked for a trade that franchise has been the mother of all things ineptitude.Yeah, that seems to be the biggest difference between McDavid/Draisaitl and Crosby/Malkin. Crosby and Malkin elevate their linemates. Crosby even plays better without Malkin.
Playing for what would have been a non playoff team hurt Panarin. To win the Hart, he would have needed to been head and shoulders above the pack. Plus he’s a winger, and they seem to favor centers for MVPPanarin played only 233:01 of his 1078:55 at 5v5 with Zibanejad.
His most common center was Strome, by far, with 700:48 at 5v5. And to say he carried Strome would be an understatement.
I posted this back on February 23rd:
Stat | McDavid+Draisaitl | McDavid alone | Draisaitl alone |
5v5 TOI | 553:21 | - | - |
CF% | 46.89 | 49.15 | 48.90 |
xGF% | 47.11 | 49.77 | 51.93 |
Draisatl is big doe.HockeyGuys: Defense and 2-way ability is the mostest important! We hate 1-way players!
HockeyGuys: Let’s vote one of the worst defensive players for Hart because look at dem points!
I don’t actually care. I just love the eternal mixed messaging. Just don’t give Carlson the Norris.
now you know why this site hates the leafs and leaf fans
Nico Hischier is going to make 7.3 million next year.
I live in Canada where we see Leafs practice hi-lights and interviews before we see the rest of the NHL. I live in western Canada I should add. Also an angry leaf fan tried to fight me at a game once. So there’s that
