27 games into Kaprizov’s 23 year old season: 10g-15a-25p and we declare him savior of the franchise
27 games into Boldy’s 23 year old season: 12g-15a-27p and Basseyes declares him a dumbass dipshit who has something wrong mentally and plays soft
He can both be soft and still score. Not saying he isn’t talented. He’s playing with KK, so guess who gets all the attention. He’s young, but sometimes his hockey iq isn’t stellar. Again, not saying he’s not gifted, talented and fully understand he’s still young. Just want more out of him because he has way more to offer talent wise than what we are seeing. Hoping he grows into a dominant player, and yes we all know his stats. Keep posting them like nobody knows that stuff already. RS had great stats too but was/is a douche canoe. Not comparing him to RS, cause I don’t think Boldy is or ever will a cancerous tumor stuck in second gear his whole career. But stats aren’t everything. What would Jojo’s stats look like if he played with KK every shift? Probably way better than they are now, and Boldy is far more talented than Jojo ever was, is or could be. Don’t hate Boldy, he’s just as frustrating to watch at times for me as Jojo. Probably more so because of how gifted the kid is. When he looks for and finds open ice playing without the puck he’s phenomenal. When he gets lazy and stands still he’s awful, which he does a lot more than I like to see and that is an issue he has. But if that’s acceptable because he’s got good stats now, imagine what those same stats would be if he was more in tune to the little details. Hopefully he keeps learning the devils in the details and can add another level to his game in the next couple years. If he can, he’ll be an absolute beast of a dominant player not far behind KK. That’s what I want out of the kid.
