THN is bővebben foglalkozott a kisgyerekkel:

"Veteran NHLers have seen him train this summer and they shake their heads. This guy’s a machine.”

Ez meg annyira jellemző, advanced stats nácik mindent megmondanak előre. Csak azt nem értem, hogy a mindenható corsi és fenwick statjaink tavaly is olyan szarok voltak, hogyhogy mégis nyertük a divíziót és kis híján mentünk egy kört a playoffban?

"Because of Colorado’s puck possession troubles and how they overachieved last season according to advanced stats, many are projecting them to fall back to the pack this season. Semyon Varlamov played outstanding last season with a career-high .927 save percentage that will be difficult to duplicate. The loss of Paul Stastny to the St. Louis Blues will hurt. The defense is still a drag. We are projecting the Avalanche to finish fifth in the Central Division after they won it a season ago."
