He's on the verge of breaking Bure's #Canucks rookie record for goals, so you may be hearing that comparison a few more times.
@jabo_vancouver Huge asterisk attached if he breaks the record
@jabo_vancouver Because comparing their “rookie” seasons isn’t fair when Kuzmenko is too old to even qualify for the Calder. At 26, Bure had 51 goals and 90 points. Mentioning them in the same breath as each other is ridiculous.
@TheRealJoshKang It doesn't change the fact that it's his rookie year in the NHL. Please learn how asterisks work.
@jabo_vancouver And it doesn’t change the fact that he’s too old to qualify for the Calder. Ever hear anyone talk about Sergei Makarov had one of the greatest rookie seasons ever? No. Cause he was way older.
@TheRealJoshKang That doesn't change the fact that Kuzmenko is going to set the team's rookie record for goal scoring. He could be 40. It's just a fact and people will talk about it.
@jabo_vancouver And thus, why I’m saying there should be an asterisk next to it
@TheRealJoshKang That's NOT how asterisks work. He is in his rookie season. The fact that he isn't eligible for the Calder is irrelevant.
