you want him to double his brain cells?
- Symba007

I know, that's a lot to ask...

Right now yes, if he finds a couple more brain cells he could become a 4-5 someday...
- BashCH

I was being slightly sarcastic.

I think he could be a #3.
He has the skill set but right now, this season, he is having wayyyyy too many brain cramps and bad decision making.

only if you are asking ME to double my brain cells.

I miss Sekac and his KHL strides

He needs to learn his place and play to his strenghts instead of seeing himself as an offensive juggernaut. He's not in juniors anymore, he won't have the same offense as he did there.

I say 1, in OT.

3-1 Canes, Byron with the Habs goal.

agreed!

But i think he is really good at bring the puck into the o-zone and has decent passing skills in the o-zone.....i feel his play in his own zone is the real issue with him this year!

You know who's looking like a great pick right now?

Lekhonen.

Love that kid.

they need to give Radulove a rest, he's obviously not 100% since his injury, they need him top shape for the playoffs.

really surprising that this team hasn't hired you as an adviser yet

A solid ten minutes before Octagon's hockey camp session is set to get underway, Lekhonen gets the sheet to himself. He saunters down to secure the nets, not wanting to wait for targets. His blades cut the sounds of NHL strides. His shot blisters off the crossbar at NHL speed, transferred from wrist to stick-tape with the ease you expect from an NHL sniper. He dangles, smoothly and precisely. He smiles when Tampa Bay Lightning forward Jonathan Drouin steps on the ice, as the two exchange saucers and bullet-paced one-timers before the heavy lifting of intense drills play out over the next hour and a half.

Lekhonen takes on the drills with determination, aiming to perfect them. It's play, but for Lekhonen, it definitely looks like work. The others--prolific NHLers like Milan Michalek and Martin Havlat, Michael Frolik and P.A. Parenteau take the opportunity to catch their breath in between the high intensity drill circuits while Lekhonen hunches over his stick for a second before grabbing six or seven more pucks to shoot. There's a hunger there, and it speaks even louder than the impressive skillset he displays.

By the time these guys are done with this boot camp, the ice needs emergency surgery. Lekhonen is among the last to step off, no worse for wear.

Yeah, not too shabby of a first NHL season. He really has a great wrist shot. Plays well in both ends.

To be honest, I thought he was frail and I'm surprised he's that effective.

Ok wait in the middle of the street I'll be out shortly.

King is totally invisible out there.
- BashCH

Perfect. As a 4th liner and PKer, that's exactly what he's supposed to be.

Couple of frail guys starting to find a way to play with the bigger guys in the NHL.

Maybe. But one thing is 100% definite - Jeff Skinner will score.
