Revvy Is Not A Calgary Hero

 

Revvy is a good, mediocre hockey player, but he is not a superstar, and never will be in his time with Calgary. He has had a ton of success in his career, specifically his time in the VHLM and his one season where he was traded to Helsinki but for Calgary, who initially traded for him from the now-defunct Quebec City, he has been, well...just there. When you look at his one season with the Titans, he had 79 total points and a +/- of +21 and was one of the leading scorers during the Titans run-up to game 7 of the Cup finals. Maybe the style of play for the Wranglers is affecting Revchenko but he has not had the same kind of success with them. Expected to have taken a major leap this season after his breakout season in Helsinki, Revvy is regressing back to how he played before the trade. Currently, through 67 games, Revvy has 55 points, not an awful number, but much different than his 79 in 72 games last season. The style of play in Calgary seems to have Revvy in more defensive scenarios as he racks up more shot blocks and hits in Calgary than he did with Helsinki, though at the same time, he is taking more shots than ever. With his extreme pass-heavy style, it is interesting to see him be shooting a lot more, but it isn't his game. Revvy may never fit in with Calgary in terms of the style of play and maybe the team ships Revvy out as he gets older or maybe Revvy calls it quits early, stay tuned.
