@jasondemers5 @NHLFlyers He’s also a young developing player. With the skill he’s a already exhibited, on top of the fact that he has taken the defensive game more seriously lately, imagine what he’ll be like in a few years

@jasondemers5 @NHLFlyers This is his floor. He barely speaks English, is 20, had to deal with Torts, and lives in a foreign country. Really let that sink in just how good he is going to be.

@jasondemers5 @NHLFlyers Fans calling this cherry picking don't know what cherry picking is. Watch the exact second he turns up ice, 99% of the time he's making the correct read that a turnover is in route. We start to see opposing dmen start to cheat back a bit with him which opens space for others

@jasondemers5 @NHLFlyers Great breakdown guys. He should have at least 10 more assists this year. He's been better than advertised.

@jasondemers5 @NHLFlyers first time seeing these two on screen together, they did a great fucking job

@jasondemers5 @NHLFlyers

@jasondemers5 @NHLFlyers Love it. You gotta be able to roll your own tape forward though guys

@jasondemers5 @NHLFlyers That aerial pass he said the light was in his eyes or he would've scored. I believe him
