Leafs vs Avs

Oh by the way, Connor Brown sucks.

Not really, no. He's just a normal human being, comparatively, unlike the three super-rookies/mutants in our lineup.

And FWIW, he's top-15 in both rookie points & rookie goals, and has an almost even possession mark for the season despite the time he's spent on the 4th line.

Meh
 
Yeah, seriously, what is there to complain about with Brown.

There isn't even anything to complain about with Hyman, other than Babs' usage of him.
 
Yeah brown isn't ever going to be a top 6 scorer but as a 3rd line guy who isn't an anchor offensively he's pretty ideal.

I felt like we were taking a lot of low quality shots because the Avalanche were doing a good job boxing us out. We almost never got into the slot and most of the shots close in were coming from bad angles.
 
Connor Brown is such a hard worker that I wouldn't bet against him turning into a legitimate top 6, complimentary offensive player.
 
He also has a distinct element of skill to his heavy boards and cycle game. He can rush into the zone, he can snipe a bit. There's really nothing not to like.

Now Hyman...sheesh. It would be so ****ing fun to just see JVR or Komarov take up residence on that line, just to mix it up, just to see.

I can't believe how much his skating has improved over last season. I had written him off, but he's made significant improvement.
 
Connor Brown is a hell of a lot better than anyone could've expected when we drafted him. He's really crafty and i wouldn't be surprised in the least if he developed into a solid top 6 complementary forward.

He's the type of guy that we need filling our lineup and not costing a lot. As soon as he starts to get expensive he'll need to get shipped and replaced by another "Brown". Similar idea to the Blackhawks selling off Bolland, versteeg types as soon as they wanted money.
 
Brown is a good prospect and a good player for a rookie. The only questionable point is - is he a good fit on Matthew's wing? And of course he's not going to be as good as Nylander (or Marner) cause these guys' talent level is in another level altogether. But I also see the biggest asset of Matthew's game at this point in his cycle game, and Brown isn't a very proficient cycle player.

I'd say Nylander and Sosh are the best young players to play with Mathews on this team right now. And I can't understand why Babs would never put the big 3 on the ice together, even in the dying minutes of a game behind by a goal. If nothing else, the excitement alone will be worth it .

Yeah, its really like watching different players. Rarely is an improvement like that so obvious and noticeable.
 
Brown sucks, Zaitsev ain't top four ... "lmao", Marner exceptionally average ...

I think there's something wrong with your tv, MIz.
