Yea nobody wants JG to score 80 points more than me, well maybe a few people, but I am right up there. I spent a large chunk of my Stag driving half way across MA to watch him play a college game. I skipped out on 12 minutes of the 3rd period of a Bruins game that I paid 250 bucks for a ticket, and my boy Iggy was playing in and DOMINATING to watch him play. I waited around for a hour after the game to get him to sign my jersey that I had dropped $150 bucks on to get made SPECIFICALLY for that game.
All in all I spent almost an entire day of four days I had in Boston revolving around JG with 9 of my closest friends and it by far my favourite memory of that trip.
I have been told if I mention JG's name one more time in my house that my fiance is leaving me. I don't think she was joking either.
I think you are quick to the defensive here my friend and you will need to thicken that skin a bit on this board, trust me.
That is enough wet blanket in this thread, I am just a man of numbers and facts and I like to know what is going on behind these NHLE expectations before I climb aboard the train.
Baby steps, make the team out of camp. Let's move forward from there.

Based on the historical averages, he should project to be a great player—dare I say, an elite level player.

That is what I was looking for, thanks.
