Yeah watching datysuk play the other day. he did it ,other times he faked it and he left the Center wondering every time.

Datsyuk is magician with the puck, he could probably deke through all 20 Oilers and score while blindfolded.

Yeah.

They got some major young talent. Gudreau, Monohan and Bennett.

Very very solid players for their future.

Jooris

The guy getting the drop pass has to pick it up with speed to carry it across, and then it seems to work...
- kaptaan

I always knew you were a 'drop pass' kind of guy.

Well that garentees him third line centre for next year

Wait until they add Sam Bennett in the future

I dont know quite what to make of Jooris to tell you the truth.

You have to be happy with the young guys on this team

Just saying, you can draw up any PP zone entry with him and it'll probably work. His hand-eye coordination is unreal.

If only Benning was and decided to trim the fat on this team.

No doubt. He's getting up there in age but still is probably the most complete player in the NHL. I love it when he just flips the puck over players stick to get by them.

They make it fun to watch.

So much better than last year

No kidding, night and day

What's the scoop with Burrows this year? Most of last year and so far all of this year I've been so swamped with work that I haven't been able to watch hockey all night like I used to, but he seems to be playing a much more composed, restrained style of play compared to what he used to.

Is this just a Minnesota homer observation, or has he been maturing the past few years?

Edit: looking at stats, his PIM have been steadily declining, but so has his point production. What do you all think about how he has been playing and changing his game?

Think of the coming years. McCann, cassels, virtanen, gaunce, shinkaruk. They will all be on the team in one way or another!

Honestly Did not think BoHo was going to be up here this year.

Living with this team for the last couple of year when their were so many oppurtunites to insert our young guys in the line-up and it never happened.

I was actually shocked the day Horvat made this team.

But I aint complaining
