I like the fact they were willing to take the risk. The #20 pick in a not-so-great draft is a great place to take a shot. There's never a guarantee on anybody, but they were willing to take a swing on what sounds like the best pure talent avaialable there. Glad they did.
I mean, if ever there was a prospect that clearly emulated Ovy, it's this kid. That clip where he got the puck in the neutral zone and cut to the center from the left wing to scorer on the wrister is incredibly Ovechkinesque.
Initial reports were talking about Hodgkin's, yet I don't think there ever was any official statement.Everyone keeps reporting different things about his cancer diagnosis. Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's can be very, very different. Sounds like they caught it early either way, but between all the draft tweets and site blurbs about this kid, it's like 50% reporting Hodgkin's and 50% non-Hodgkin's. Simple thing to get wrong if all you're looking at is the word, but it's actually a big deal.
Again, sounds like he's doing well regardless, but between all the conflicting info and the likely more reliable sources being written in Cyrillic, I'm confused.
Semin in his prime had a better release than Ovi so I’d be down with that.
When he wasn’t sending it wide of goal and out of the zone!
I just read on one of the threads on HF that he's been cleared to train for next season. I'd suspect we'll find out where he stands fairly soon. It's not like he's expected to make the opening night roster.
Looks a little bit Romulan…Kids got some eyebrows on him.
Is it me or does he have the brows of this emoji?
yeah it tripped my brain out for like one second until I actually bothered to read through the middle syllables and now I'm not really sure how else you'd try it.
