We all want to see more production, but his goal today was beautiful. He’s also only twenty-one, and his game has improved a lot this season. I’m still a pretty big believer in him.

That was a beauty and the kind of goal he’s supposed to provide. Hopefully that’s just the start of something more for him.

I don’t think he’s going to be the first line winger we expected but I think he’s turning into a solid 2nd liner. With Raymond, Bert & Vrana we’re pretty well set at wing. Add Zadina, Raymond, Berggren, Soderblom and Tyutev (whatever) to that mix and we have an embarrassment of riches at wing.

Last night, Raymond made a quick brilliant no-look pass in front of the net to an open Larkin. I don't know if Larkin would have made the same play. I think he would have just shot the puck.

I hope they put him at C at some point. Maybe not this season, but, given his high IQ and speed, I think he could supplant Larkin as the top center.

That spin around pass was deflected right to Larkin. Kind of lucky.
It wasn't deflected. It was a beautiful precise pass. Wtf?

You cannot be serious. Where’s lilja4mvp, this calls for a Professional troll.
It was my understanding there would be no math in the debates.

This is the key shot. The puck going back and to his left. Shot from the front and right. Totally inconsistent with the pass from Raymond. Again, back and to the left. Back and to the left. Back and to the left. Back and to the left. So what happens then? Pandemonium.

Right, So Roger McDowell or Lee Harvey Oswald should have gotten the primary assist.

Yeah there was no deflection on that pass, strange calling it lucky. You would be singing a different tune if your boy AA hade made that pass though.
