He was great, and I've been a Chicago fan ever since he left us. I just think that the Natty and the points tip it to BB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackheart Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 42 minutes ago, yzerman19 said: Do I think Toews is a better hockey player? Yes. Did Toews have a more impactful and better freshman year- no. Toews rookie year we also had Zajac and Stafford and Oshie and Duncan, so it wasn't like he didn't also have a supporting cast. IIRC, Toews had just turned 17 when he arrived on campus for his freshman year. Pretty impressive for such a young player. Wasn't he hurt part of his first year? Or was that the next year when Duncan won the Hobey? ("Best player in the country? I'm not even the best player on my line.") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to hockey db, Toews played 42 games as a frosh (05-06), and 34 as a sophomore (06-07). Duncan won the Hobey in 2006-07. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend of mine, who was (and still is) on the Hobey committee at the time, said he was the best player in the country as a freshman. Guess he knew what he was talking about.

tnt Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 So, does Will Butcher still entertain signing with Colorado after this year, or does he go elsewhere because of the snub last summer? How do you not try sign him after last year? That's why Colorado is a mess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what they are going to do with their goaltending, seem like they will move away from Varlamov. I expect them to take Patrick 1st overall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to believe a kid that young could be so good at possessing the puck in the dirty areas. He was long but not mature physically. Mentally? Far beyond his years.

Another reason that the Avs are having a tremendous run. I'd have him on the blue line the day after that national championship if I was the Avs. That is if they have a game that day.
