All the talk and whining about homerism gets stale.

What the heck are you talking about? Pettersson is an incredible hockey player, I basically have to fight the urge to be a fan of his based on the amount of damage he’s going to do to the Flames for the next 10 years.
Which is what I said.... I’m not sure why you quoted me.
I also praised his ability to avoid getting injured despite being dangerously small. The league is full of humongous men who hold nothing back. Guys like Gaudreau and Pettersson, regardless of their strength, simply don’t have the mass to take a full speed impact from someone twice their weight. They have to always be aware, and be great on their feet. As they both are.
Have I cleared this up for you?
