slothfacekilla Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 I think the Griffins got eliminated from playoff contention, it would be cool for Berggren to get a few games here with the Wings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sagnam Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 (edited) This game reminds me why I hate draft lotteries. Imagine having a shot at a legit #1 scoring 60 goals. Nah, we’ll put that guy on a playoff team. Edited April 27, 2022 by sagnam 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sagnam Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Matthews gets 59 and 60. Really looking forward to this team getting bounced from the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordstanley Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 (edited) 60 goals is quite a season for Matthews. When he was drafted, I thought he'd be an average #1 overall pick. Seems he is better than that, especially with #1 overalls recently being less than stellar. Apart from McDavid and maybe McKinnon, I'd have to rank him no lower 3rd of the past 12 years. For the record, the last twelve 1st overalls have been: Taylor Hall, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Nail Yakupov, Nathan McKinnon, Aaron Ekblad, Connor McDavid, Auston Matthews, Nico Hischier, Rasmus Dahlin, Jack Hughes, Alex Lafreniere, and Owen Power. I know it's a bit early on a few of the more recent ones, but I don't see why any of them would match Matthews.

lordstanley Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 So what's that, 9-19-4 since February 15, I believe. Has wiped away any of the positive feelings I had the first half of the season about progress. We played 82 games to discover that Raymond and Seider are really good picks, Larkin and Bertuzzi are strong, and Vrana was a nice trade. Plus a ton of question marks at best after that.

Not all question marks. We've resolved DeKeyser did not/will not make a 100% recovery, that Hronek only looks adequate when the only other comparisons on the ice are terrible, that Veleno and Zadina are not going to be anything more than journeymen. I'd say plenty was resolved, just not very favorably. As for question marks - i'll grant Rasmussen is still one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might become serviceable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
