This is what goalies looked like in 1966

In the finals he absolutely was. The three series before that he wasn’t.

No matter how thin you slice it, it’s still baloney, and it still has two sides.

It's a big part of why Gretzky's records will never be broken. Obviously also because he was great

Great, dahlin reached your expectations. You set them lower than me.

9 goals? Really

Quick look has Bobby orr at 13 goals and 41 points his rookie year









In 61 games

Why are goals the only things that matter? If Dahlin gets 15 goals but only 5 assists is that good for you?

Power play points don’t count, and secondary assists don’t count either.

I'm not sure why you keep trying to convince me of MY expectations.

Dahlin was awesome, but I was thought he would score more goals.

I expect close to 20 this year

Michael Pachla: The Rasmus Ristolainen saga is front and center once again
In an interview with Finnish TV, Ristolainen says "situation is open" and he'll be in an NHL training camp.
- Michael Pachla

I like the way this Philly fan thinks! This is in reference to Garth mentioning a trade of Risto for Couturier...I know, I know but still...

"Flyers need a 3rd line winger. If hey can get the Sabres to include okposo and 4th I can see a deal for couturier...."

A pretty basic fact everyone in here should definitely keep in mind.

I expected 76 goals in his rookie season because I'm a reasonable human being.

This whole discussion started when broads gave phail lousley credit for dahlin having a historic season.

Ovi gonna break the all time goal scoring record by Gretzky. Different apples?

The expectations are correct, but you're far from reasonable.

There was 1 20g defenseman in the NHL this year. 55 points was #10 in the league.

If he puts up 55, I don't really care how many goals he scores. It would be a great 2nd year.
