W-GDT Apr 26 game 3 in Nashville 5pm PST splortsnet

[Cousin Strawberry]

He was what...21 and producing against a far bigger, more talented Vegas group that went to the finals? I'd say those were pretty solid stats considering his age and the fact that he was probably buck sixty at the time.

[Topper]

You have been saying he was dominant in those playoffs, now pretty good for a buck sixty kid.

[Cousin Strawberry]

I'm not sure I said he was dominant. I said he wasn't intimidated by a bigger team and when on his game he's Datsyukgretzky...

Over a ppg through 3 rounds, a couple of game winners...those are decent playoff numbers. Maybe not his regular season Datsyukgretzkyian dominance when on his game but very acceptable imo

[donlever]

Datsyuk Gretzky again?!

Smh...

Datsyuk has 2 Cups, an Olympic gold, 4 Selkes, 4 Lady Byngs and a Hart nomination.

Gretzky is Gretzky.

EP is none of that and a bag of Indica.

You're muddling your own argument.

...as far as the Covid playoffs go we have become a pretty good team (far from a contender imho) with at least a chance to win (where we need our best to be our best due to an inferior lineup as compared to the best of the West) and he's a debateable no show for what...25 games and at times looks inept.

What he did in 2020 menas sweet fuck all now.

Which is what he is currently achieving coincidentally.

[Cousin Strawberry]

The comparison to both Datsyuk and Gretzky weren't made by me btw. Those names were tossed about early in his career in van.

"Moves like Jagger Datsyuk and a shot reminiscent of a famous Gretzky slapper from the the top of the left circle"

I just grasped that straw and never let go

[donlever]

Let go....whoever said it was remiss in their assessment.

[Cousin Strawberry]

Donny my fantasy scenario is the only one that could possibly see us win a cup this year. Reality sucks so I choose the half full glass

My strawman is real dammit!

[donlever]

Gotcha....I'll let go then.

Carry on....

[Topper]

The Gretzky comparison began with the similarity of their first goals.

And ended there.

[5thhorseman]

If I remember correctly his first goal was coming down the right wing looking off the defender and firing the puck top shelf.

The Gretzky comparison was with the goal coming down the left wing, a slapper. Against Calgary, similar to Gretzky's goal vs Vernon.

[Megaterio Llamas]

Way to go Cuz!

[CrzyCanuck]

geez these old farts

Gretzky comparison was never really about the slap shot

It was about the hockey sense and playmaking

and it was made directly by Gretzky himself

and of course no one thinks Petey is the next Gretzky, he's still a damn fine player, and possibly the best center this franchise has ever drafted.


Petey is only 5 years in his early career

yet you are all so quick to write off a 2-way top center that has more than 1 ppg to date in his career?

lmao

how many people dissed on the Sedins and gave up on them too? and this is when the Sedins actually sucked while being sheltered by the WCE.


What did our current core players have? none but themselves.

...another user who doesn't read.

And lobs insults for no reason as well.

Tbh I don't even know who you are.

List #3.
