Good for him, well deserved. I must admit, I was a little nervous with him at the beggining of the year but if he can keep this up, not only will we be up in the standings but he'll get the recognition he is supposed to have. The thing that I like about his style is the way be is able to control the puck, very little rebounds. I think he'll be one of the main factors in just about every game we play this year weather we win or lose

Contrats !! Actually he had a rough start ... inconsistent in our 1st 4 games ... but has smoothed it out over his last 3 starts. |

Don't forget, you're only 8 games into the season...there's plenty of opportunity to screw up yet |
