From this site, and the old RWC site, any who know me (not that you would) understand how much I loved this pick.
I was pegging him as a Calder winner an instant add to the line-up, etc. I said it above, his skating, hockey IQ and flat out determination to win and get better
oozes from every pour. He has learned how to use fartlek training (for the Swedish fan base) and methods to deceive and burst by opponents. he has improved his skating leverage, added muscle and I am thrilled someone brought up faceoffs. This guy came into the League and wasn't very good in the circle. He worked on it and in his 4th season was over 50% and never looked back. He takes near every critical face off. He'll roll out their for the D zone PK faceoff. If they win it and send it down the ice, he shifts. Freeze the puck, he skates out again. this guy became Captain the old fashion way, he earned it.
Mickey calls him diesel for a reason.
Props to the Captain.
