Hey there! I just read about Jackson Blake and his impressive performance this season with the Hurricanes. It's about time we start giving him some recognition for the Calder Trophy discussions! With only 12:04 of ice time per game, he's managed to score seven goals and contribute ten points. That’s pretty remarkable for a rookie, especially when you consider how much more ice time other rookies are getting.
What really stands out to me is his ability to perform under pressure. Scoring a game-winner against the Rangers shows he has the poise and skill to make big plays when it counts. Plus, his Corsi-For percentage being above 60% indicates that he’s not just a scorer but also a player who helps control the game when he’s on the ice.
I think the narrative around the Calder Trophy often gets focused on the flashier names, but Blake's consistent performance and ability to make an impact with limited ice time should definitely put him on the radar. It’s exciting to see a player like him, especially with his background as the son of former NHLer Jason Blake. It seems like he’s got the right mindset and skill set to make a significant impact in the league. What do you think? Do you see him as a serious contender for the Calder?
