Ya cause he'd give up more rebounds

Are you saying McDavid is a Daigle?

For Buffalo's sake I hope not. Daigle was probably more hyped though, at least that's how I remember it.

Can I go back into Leafs manic phase now, or should I stay depressive because it was Buffalo? Mixed states are confusing for me.

Former Sens coach told me Daigle was literally afraid of getting on the ice when he got to the NHL.

Tyler Johnson certainly doesn't need Stamkos to light poop up.

Nope. Daigle was more in the Taylor Hall hype class. McDavid is probably closer to Crosby. None are as hyped as Lindros.

I just remember hearing people say Daigle might be the next Gretzky. I'm not even really hearing that McDavid might be the next Crosby let alone Gretzky.

Bernier is a scrub. Reimer would've had 15 saves tonight

Your probably right. Reimer would of let out at least 10 rebounds tonight.

Daigle it was always Mario.
You'll really start to hear the McDavid hype at the World Juniors and the Memorial Cup.

Bob Mack says Lindros hype was the highest, then Crosby and McDavid roughly the same. THen I guess it would be Nate and JT, followed by Stamkos & Spezza. Daigle was more in the middle class of all these hype kids/players. What takes away a bit from the McDavids and Nates is these other wonderkids like Eichol and Drouin.

Lindros was the man at 16. He was playing in the Canada Cup at 18 and hurting grown men. He truly was something unreal and special. Nothing like him, not even Neely was in his class at his peak. I wish we had gotten to see more of him before the concussions and collapsed lung took hold.

Although I appreciate you evoking the 92-93 Sens, the correct reference here would be the Philadelphia Quakers.

What up, biz-nitches? Missed the game. Sounds like the Sabres really rolled over and thought of England. Gonna suck when McDavid is in our division for the next 12 years.
