Strangely I think that was his best option to score there

54 points in 64 games on a very bad team is pretty good
Would be torturous to decide if he'd be better off with Zegras or McTavish since the latter had excellent chemistry with Bedard at the WJC. But all told, I don't see Anaheim winning the lottery. It's a shade of a chance finishing dead last and Gibson's heater leading into the trade deadline might have put last place out of reach. It's nice to dream though.

He’s not like Getzlaf but when has he been “bullied”?

Yep. That’s the thing with a bunch of his plays - it really isn’t showboating, he’s just able to execute certain high-skill plays to a degree that they are just regular tools to him and regularly present themselves as the logical/easiest solution when there’s no substantial risk of not being able to execute the play involved. This is another nice example of that.
It’s frustrating though, with this skill, he’d easily be at a PPG or higher if the Ducks had a competent PP, a better system, and more depth. He had Brock McGinn on his wing last night. Shows how bad our depth is. Ryan Strome missing open nets has not helped his case either. Lol.

Was that move impressive? Yes.
But was it necessary? Also yes.

Yeah, it was either that or try and roof a backhander shortside.
That move was the only way to get back to his forehand. And you do see that attempted somewhat often, it's just not usually converted.
It's hard to get enough mustard/elevation on the shot going against the grain to score, Zegras did. Nice move.
Far from showboating or hotdogging.

69 point pace (nice) on the worst offensive team in the league at 21 years old. But no, he sucks. The people that think he hops the boards and only tries Michigans all game are right.

I enjoy that you mentioned both mustard and hot dogs in this comment, solid content.

That settles it, I'm having hot dogs for lunch.

He's a solid player for sure. Will only get better.
He's just a bit of a nerd.

Prob his cockiness.I don't know what it is about that kid.
He also isn’t the “norm” in terms of hockey players…. He’s got a big personality(for better or worse), where most star players are pretty boring/uninteresting.
Those aspects are going to make him a very popular player, but he’s also going to get a lot of haters for the same reasons.
Its hard to put my finger on it. I think part of it is that he plays it off that he's genuinely clueless why he rubs people the wrong way.
Maybe its just his face, IDK.
I like the entertainment value of those moves.

I get why people dont like him. What I dont understand is how hes been labelled as overrated. I dont recall him ever being hyped as a generational talent who would rival McDavid or Crosby. I think it's mostly salty Canada fans still bitter about the World Juniors who run with the overrated narrative.

It’s more over hyped.
He got a huge hype wave after dominating 2 world juniors, ended up being runner up for Calder in his first full season, and had the Michigan flip play and all star appearance, and that also pumped up the hype around him.
No one to my knowledge has claimed he’s a future mvp…. But he should end up a ppg player who makes plays comfortably that most players wouldn’t try at nhl lvl
