Except that we do, actually... his one NHL game and Worlds tournament this year. Those were all against bigger, more physical professional players. It's a small sample size, but it's very much an inclination as not only did he not look out of place, but he was the best player on the ice for many of those games.

Why do you feel the need to do this? Using the word "we" like it pertains to the entire forum or fan base. Yes, a very select few might have said some outlandish things, but all in all, the excitement is warranted for the most part. There is just no need to make blanket statements like this. If anything's happening it's you reading one or two odd comments and letting them effect your overall read of the situation.
