Plays a lot smaller than his stature would indicate.

Yup

OK, OK, OK... can we agree that Linus played it worse than Dahlin, but Dahlin could've played it better, and then move on?

Pageau just skated by him.

Ugh

I did also. It was a very different viewing experience. The compete level is noticably different.

Watched the Bruins and Caps tonight. Bruins go down 3-0 and come back to win 5-3. Pretty good scrap between Trent Frederic and Tom Wilson. Everything we used to love about hockey. (sigh)

I am concerned about the leadership. I’m an Eichel fan, and maybe it’s me, but when I see them celebrate a goal, it doesn’t seem as joyful/enthusiastic/celebratory as other teams. It doesn’t seem like they look at each other. I contrast that with the Bills, who genuinely seem to like playing with each other. Again, what my eyeballs tell me.

When you have as many #1/2 overall picks, “generational talents”, it comes down to scheme, chemistry, and leadership. It’s never one single thing. I’m (still) trying to figure out which is the primary root cause.
