Thanks I hate the days that you don't do these.

I knew I made a mistake reading the hockey writers--I always stay away from partner sites and that article is a prime example--the article over looks how Roy has interacted with Yakupov and I think that has been thing and Yak has played better in the last ten days. While Roy is a small center--he knows how to play at the nhl level and deal with the nhl mayhem. Others, not so much
