New Vasyuki mode on...
I mean I'm waiting for Burakovsky-Backstrom-Johansson line for Sweden
How do you like that? Low-end 1st line for National team, I understand. But they will be better around 2018.
Also, I hope Kuzy can push Backstrom a bit further. Backstrom is often playing safe and rarely makes those cross ice passes in PP, because he knows that becomes the mistake. I'm sure Nicky can do those passes Kuzy does but refuses to do them until some brilliant opening occurs.
Now he has to defend his 1C status and I feel he's using more tricks from his arsenal (both PP and ES). Risky passing, shooting.
Both of them are on pace to score around 30 goals (a little less). That's unheard of for Caps, right?
PS: Also, Williams, Johansson, Oshie and even Chimera are there with them (13-16 goals for now).
PPS: Ovi scores more from left circle @ PP lately. And he's obviously scores more "other goals", so he has a fat chance to get to 50.
