He's still going to get better. Hughes will be in this thread again.

I think the much maligned Cody Hodgson and Gillis deserve a few recognitions.
How good Coho was and the steal of Gillis drafting him at 10.

Hodgson is still 1, 2 or 3 and in the top ten in WJC team scoring in per game averages, ahead of Gretzky even.

Still #2 in points per game and #1 in assists per game.
Even though he didn't have a great number of games, 6 but the Great one only had 7.
Numerous awards in junior and leading points player in WJC U18 and 20 tournaments, twice player of the year in junior and outstanding player.

Gillis had only two picks ever in the top ten, Hodgson who if he didn't have that disease could have been great and Horvat, both AAA winners. Home runs on both. Even in the year Gillis was let go he waned Larkin.

Just putting it out there about how wrong the spur of the moment and influencing of the media can lead and sour fans on people.

so i’m sick and quarantined in a little room by myself and between slipping in and out of consciousness, watched the majority of the last game of the 1991 regular season.



what a game. winner makes the playoffs, loser goes home. spoiler: we came back from a 2-0 deficit to win 3-2 in OT.

man, momesso was such a force. so weird how he went from looking like prime tom wilson when he got here to settling into his 15 goal third line banger role.

and jesus, look at the total lack of depth. the lines were

courtnall ronning linden
momesso larionov bozek
capuano rookie nedved sandlak
valk murphy mazur

imagine how bad that team was before we added courtnall, ronning, and momesso? btw, the goal scorers? momesso, ronning, and courtnall in OT.

2/3 of the D were also mid-to-late-season additions: diduck, murzyn, kurvers, and dirk. this game only cemented my memory that diduck, not lumme, was our best dman of the quinn era.

It'll always be Burrows in Game 7 until we win it all.

Game 2 vs Boston hurts too much given what happened.
