The Q has also reduced it's season to 64 games, so the players get more rest, and have more practice time. Prorated to 68 games however, Desnoyers would have 102 points (!). Desnoyers playoff performance, 30 points in 19 games, was 1st in the Q playoffs for PPG (1.58), which ties Jonathan Huberdeau for 48th-all-time by a player 18-and-under, and is 18th all-time by a U-18 player.

-He had 5 points in 5 games at the Hlinka last summer, putting him in 5th for Team Canada (the leader had 7 points), ahead of Kindel (2 points), Martin (4 points), Cootes (1 point), and O'Brien (0 points).

-He put up 5 points in 5 games at last year's U-18 tournament, putting him 9th on Team Canada, despite missing 2 games, and playing a defensive role.

He's an absolute beauty, and never cheats the game.

And this is why I never dig into stuff. Because unlike him, I do cheat the game, and rely on posters like you to educate me lol.

Thanks Sandman, always dig your insights.
