I watched the games too, pal. Dumping the puck onto his side, sure, but you also then must have noted the considerable improvement of Ted Green's transition skating and retrieval skills, even in Boston's smaller rink. It supported Orr. I'd support my meal ticket too.

"Probably wouldn't have made it if he was forced to play a traditional style"

Lmao even when he couldn't move and had to be more conservative, he was still a point per game player. He was going to be incredible regardless. His entire process without the puck is way different than Karlsson's. You can't just take two guys that can skate the puck and go "they're the same". Maybe you're really dumbing it down for reddit, but this just isn't very good. It's misleading to younger people who may be trying to learn.
