I'm actually a bit surprised by the proportion of shots attempts Nylander has taken that actually hit the net being higher than I expected. This doesn't account for blocked shots though.

This is pretty fun to play with.

Remember when Sundin was criticised for his skating and work ethic?

Yup and how sad was that? He was skating slow because he was carrying the opposition on his back most nights. Remember the good ole days of clutching and grabbing? Could you imagine Sundin with this group and playing in this era where the clutching and grabbing are all but gone?

If Sundin was playing today with wingers like Marner and Nylander, he'd be top 5 in scoring for sure.

Ya the best winger he ever had was a slightly used up Mogilny

Almo and Roberts were fantastic linemates.

The Hogland's, Modin's, and Jonhson's not so much.

They were def good but certainly not in their prime when Sundin played with them.

  I was pretty sure Nylander hadn't forgot how the game was played. It just took a lot longer for him to get back to where he needs to be than everyone expected it would.

I don't remember Sundin and Mogilny playing on the same line very often.

I remember Quinn playing them on the PK together at times in the playoffs though

They didn't. And yes I remember that as well.

I'm still somewhat upset the MAD line was ever broken up.

The Mogilny was indeed Sundin's right winger in the day before his hip ended his career. Wish we had him for a few years prior when he was a Devil. I also loved Elias from those Devil teams.

Refresher please...

Quinn started a season with Tucker-Sundin-Mogilny (Mats, Alexander, Darcy) and they scored about a bazillion points but they were also a trainwreck defensively so he split them up pretty quickly. That was one of the few times I remember Mogilny playing with Sundin at 5-on-5.

Thx. Didn't remember Tucker being there with them.

I guess its my memory, as in my minds eye, I seem to remember Mog playing with the sun god all the time.

Off wing one timers all day long.

Nope.

Nylander has finally come into form. He?s playing great. He might have some extra gas left in the tank for the playoffs. I really like his play lately. And the third line might be a better spot for him. Weaker opposition.

So who centred Mogilny more than Sungodin
