2000 Eastern Conference Finals, Game 7. The very mention of the game creates an uneasy feeling in the minds of Flyers’ fans.
While the Oilers have fallen on hard times, 'The Kid Line' has been integral in helping the club's poor PP of last year improve immensely. Right now, it is the only successful aspect in Edmonton's game.
Those risks made this organization make the playoffs for 11 consecutive seasons and 12 out of their last 13 before missing last year's postseason.
Excellent job and I totally agree. Duchene is the real deal & probable winner of the Calder this season. Anyone compared to an Yzerman or Sakic has to be looked at as a player to watch through the years. Another thorough Calder Profile!
Good piece! Love this kid and think the Avs finally have the youth in place to move forward. He was one of my 3 building blocks for the Avs young group of forwards when I wrote up my RtR: Colorado piece.
He is part of a team that I have a secret crush on. Haha.
Dave – to me, the mentions and comparisons are great and it’s also nice to see Richie’s name within that list because to me it’s like he has been given the same comparison.
Jose – I agree man. The kid is a force, and btw – your RtR on Colorado was fantastic.
