  1. Do you mean like when kole Lind created the one time wrist shot?? :-)
  2. Is it my post that you would like to down vote? Or alflives post?
  3. Fair enough alflives. Not saying you are lying, I do however stand by my statement, I have definitely seen MANY one time wrist shots in my day. Maybe we just watch different games, or by some incredible coincidence you are always after the cat when these moments take place. Again not trying to be a jerk, just seems odd to me that you have never seen this before. Particularly at 68 years of age.
  4. That is skill no doubt about it. I however have to question how much hockey you have watched in your life. Not trying to be a jerk or anything, but I would say I have seen players do this hundreds of times in my time watching hockey. Great talent to be sure, but certainly not the first time I have seen this.
  5. September 2020 is 2.5 years away. 1.5 years will be around September 2019. Not trying to be a dick just seemed that you were under the impression that his contract was only for one more season when it is in fact 2 more. Hope you are right about him helping us tank for a high pick for the good of the teams future and he come back when he feels we are ready. Don’t think that’s it, but you never know I guess.
  6. Cool. But September 2020 is 2.5 or so years away. 1.5 years from now is September 2019 ish
  7. Ya, but it’s in the back of the net.
  8. Try has two years left on his contract. So he must think we need 2 more top 10 picks?
  9. I meant dahlin of course. But wth right. Though I did misspell his name and meant dahlin, there have been pp that are all forwards. It’s certainly not unheard of.
  10. Thank you. #%$& me the last 3 pages were a work out. I think my eyes actually crossed a couple times there.
  11. There have been no players identified as generational that didn’t flourish very quickly. That is part of what makes them generational. They are better than EVERYONE else. Start to finish. No time to flourish. They are the best from the get go and everyone knows it. And no. Having 3-30 point seasons followed by 10-90 point seasons would not make you a generational player. And it’s not my rational. Its the mean of the word, tryamkin is not now and will never be considered generational. Im not going to continue this discussion any further as it’s not worth the time. If you want to call tryamkin a possible generational player be my guest.
  12. I don’t mean to interject here, but tryamkin is not now, nor will he ever be a generational player. The term generational in this context means best of their generation. Since I can remember hockey (so early 80s) their have been 4-5 players who you could call generational. Gretzky, Lemieux, maybe jagr, Crosby, and McDavid (who may or may not actually become generational). Thing about all these players is they were all identified as EXEPTIONAL talents before being drafted, and have all achieved a great deal by the time they where as old as tryamkin is now. He could become a dominant player for sure. He could be chara dominant, or even better, but that would still never make him a generational player. It’s too late for that. All the players I mentioned above entered the league very young and where all considered close to the best if not the best in the league within 3 years in the league. Tryamkin will never be considered generational. If he comes back to the nhl and dominates he may be considered a franchise player, but he will never be the best player of his generation.
