Nobody on this BYU team does anything as well as Mag defends.

Goatnapper'96

I’d say Dallin’s facilitating ability was getting to that point

puntersarepeople

I think Hall is a better all around player but Mag defends better than Dallin

Goatnapper'96

6:24pm

Looking at the last ten games Dallin had a pretty great AST/TO

Yes. Dallin is a very good D1 pg. Mag is an elite D1 defender.

He was blessed with amazing teammates: Messier, Kurri, Coffee, Fuhr, etc

creameryon9th

I just can't believe Ovechkin is even in shouting distance of Gretzky's goal record. I thought it was untouchable.

Spiff

6:13pm

Both Ovie and Sid really lived up to their expectations

creameryon9th

6:18pm

Much more so than Lindros

Spiff

6:22pm

Gretzky was a natural playmaker. Hence his untouchable assists record and points record. Even then his goal record

I was living in Edmonton when he was traded. Yikes.

Until Berke actually commits somewhere else, there's always hope. Mag's commitment shouldn't deter Berke. Berke would

This cat can really guard all 5 positions. Fouss certainly can't. Keita sort of can, but Mag is even more versatile.

Except he can defend the perimeter. Something neither of them can do

LakeshowCougs

He’s not the most consistent shooter but takes shots Keita and Fouss don’t
