I was about to respond to Alf and then stopped after seeing this. Let's just appreciate EP magic a bit longer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 EP has had a knack for big time goals - he is the king of last minute goals. Unequivocally, EP has taken his game to the next level and showing he is the REAL LEADER of this franchise. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boudrias Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 Canucks haven't had a player who can dominate a game like Elias since Bure. I don't consider the WCE in this as they did not play a 200' game the way EP40 does. His pass to Miller in the Oiler game was a thing of beauty. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Googlie Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 Did the Kraken and Oilers players line up at centre ice after the games ended to congratulate Petey? Jets' did. Ovi earned that #1 star 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm - but it was during that week that he passed Howe. Across the NHL more mentions were made, more accolades given, for Ovi's feat than for Petey's. The recognition is for "Star of the week" and while 5 points in a game ( or 7 in 2 games) is meritorious, it's been done hundreds of times before in the NHL. Ovi's feat has been done just once before. Case closed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion, the award should focus solely on the play during the prior week. Ovie will get his due for 800+ goals when he probably goes straight into the HHOF, waiving the usual three-year waiting period. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will be a game to remember. Watch young EP-D at the WJC. I am wathing him more than Lettermaki. Edited December 25, 2022 by Boudrias Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toronto signing 3 players averaging 11 mil per is the very definition of what you are suggesting. They must have thought the cap would be 90+ mil by now.

That's in the Barzal range, which is what peeps were thinking Pete was at a similar level. This season, he appears to be breaking out and is already a much better player than Barzal. He still has another season before his current contract runs out and I'll bet his development has skyrocketed. His ability to play both offence and defence at an elite level will put him in a small group of special players in the NHL. If Covid and injuries hadn't interfered with Pete's early development, his comparison could be heading in the Mackinnon direction Management need to sign him before the beginning of next season. Pete is becoming a franchise player. If he signs for under $10x8yr I will be surprised (and very happy). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
