Is Robert Thomas a 1C???

Post by TAFKAP »

Only Blue since Brett Hull in 96-97 to have back to back 80 point seasons.

Yes. Yes he is.

Everything about his gameplay reminds me of Doug Gilmour

Gilmour had a better motor and didn’t stop. There was period of time where he may have been the best player in the World.

Crazy to think Thomas has like 60 pounds on him

Back to back 60 assist seasons for him; and this year he did it in 70 games.
Bobby Tommy is absolutely a #1 center.
And I'm not sure 100 points is completely out of reach for him at some point.

Theo is actually right about Gilmour..
For a couple of years in the mid 90's,
He may have been the best all around plsyer in the game.
I think Andreychuk had at least one 40 goal season playing with him.
He showed glimpses of that with the Blues when he scored 100 points in 86-87.
He was tenacious and fearless.
Thomas is similar in some ways and I would expect him to cravk 100 points a time or two in his career.

I concur re: Gilmour. Thomas is trending in that direction, we'll see what he can do in full seasons with the young snipers. Gilmour was all-time elite defensively.

The butt end of that dudes stick was jammed into Thomas leg after the faceoff. Probably a groin, knee or hamstring injury to Thomas

Go easy on him. He's having a bad month. Blues set win streak record, make the playoffs. He can't even start next season talking about them missing for 4 straight years. He's got the blues. :lol:
