He's either in the Gretzky convo or not by results. who started this whole gretzky convo thing anyway? i watched Gretzky play multiple times. Fantastic player. Magical. Nobody should be in that conversation (or very few), especially a kid that has played like 15 games. That said, he didnt have Goldobin on his wing, and Pouliot feeding him pucks. he played with some legends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the few who has been saying that and taking a beat down for it at the height of trading deadlines and draft dates since 2012 apx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ref said they can't look, Toronto makes the call there. When you look I think it's obvious. But at the same time I grew up playing soccer, every hockey player plays soccer before games so I don't know if the Toronto guys are big soccer fans or not." - Markstrom LOL that passive-aggressive poke.

Pettersson is going to rise to the Gretzky convo or not. Ultimately, Petey needs to be a difference maker on that same level. It's early in his career but he, himself, needs to get us wins ... and more of them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone has to give EP40 time to be Great....because he will be Great, just a matter of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RWMc1 Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Transparency? Whoever makes the calls in the "war room" in toronto need to held accountable when they make obviously bad decisions. That kicked in goal changed the game and deflated our guys. Sucks when we need to beat the other teams and the officials!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the Big Four of sports the NHL has been at rock bottom, makeup calls for example has forever been a stain to the game. In the NFL and NBA there can be a huge disparity between teams with fouls and penalties but never in the NHL in the decades I have watched. NHL referees like to manage the game rather than letting the athletes determine the pace or the action and eventually the outcome. Just some of my thoughts.

It's early. personally im rooting for him to get the calder and somewhere between 80 - 100 points.....implying that he should be a difference maker on par with one of the greatest athletes of all time, at this point, is a tad too much pressure...but thats just me.
