I have a different recollection of that game.

I recall him getting absolutely dumped at least twice.

Not to say he didn't have a good game, because he clearly had a fantastic game.

But seeing him play in the NHL did nothing to convince me that he's not going to get murdered at the NHL level. I still see that as a very real possibility.
