Check out who gets stripped of the puck for OV's 50th. Soooo overrated. Shame Vegas won it in OT.

And, I wouldn't want the Caps in round one. OV saw 50 on the horizon and boom boom he's got it. He's been holding back all season and he has 50. No doubt Wilson has another gear for the playoffs too. You want the Pens in round one. OV might be a goalscoring wreckingball in the 1st round.

To bad when Eichel fell on his arse at his own blueline in OT that he just got enough of the puck to avoid giving the Wash player a breakaway, that would have been a fitting ending.

One season. He only wants to play one more season. It couldn't line up more perfect.

He also comes in and immediately takes all of the media limelight. Just like when Ryan Miller did 10 minutes of media after every game in the post Drury Briere years. The Flower is a Superstar. He can sit with Paul Hamilton and Mike Harrington for 20 minutes 3 times a week and Power, Dahlin, Quinn, etc never have to answer a question unless it was a good game.

And the 41 sellouts would be nice.

I also recall Tuch saying that everything he learned about how to carry yourself in the locker room and the media he learned from MAF. While I get why Vegas had to part with him I wonder if moving him is part of the reason that they are having problems this year.

Because it's a one year deal and it allows MAF and a select few others to deal with distracting stuff like the media while players who have yet to hit their incredibly high ceilings - like most of the team - to focus on getting better.
It allows an easier path for all of our young guys. Specifically, Mitts, Cozens and Krebs might all get asked tough questions every night if they don't appear on the stat sheet. It's easier if they don't have to do a ton of media as 2nd year players.

Asking hard questions is all about developing and Maturing as a player you need to have that done early and not hide just my thoughts

There are no cupcake opponents in the East. The playoffs should be a helluva good show this year. Can’t wait for game 1.

I didn't watch much on him, seems like a good net front guy, hand eye is insane with how many deflection goals he gets. You like him or just think it's a probably pick though?
