Oh we notice him. He has looked good. His skating is very strong. He isn't afraid to take chances with the puck. He has shown some pretty good stick handling out there as well.
and that's not going to change. Weber will get all the credit for Josi being so good even when they're not on the same line.
It's fascinating to see that despite his obvious elite potential there isn't a lot of talk about him. Everyone is raving about OEL, Del Zotto, Subban, because they have already a much bigger (offensive) role on their respective team. But IMHO Josi has easily the potential to reach and even exceed those players in the next two or three years. The big question mark with Josi is if he can stay healthy.
Yesterday against Dallas : 4pts ; so let's not loose our reasonability but hopefully Josi got his snipe back !! (he had it in Switzerland and didn't adjust until lately i guess)
If it is the case, he will be on for a 1 goal every 4 to 5 games.
great to see him blossom like that.
Sort of an off-the-wall question about Josi........Anyone know what language he grew up speaking in Switzerland? I know it's like a melting pot of cultures over there.....and if I had to guess I would say German, but I'm just curious as to what accent he has when he speaks.
German ... he is from Bern, the political capital, a german speaking region.

Yup. And Austria as well. Basically the German language version of the game I believe. It's awesome.I didn't realize that Josi is on the cover of the Swiss and German editions of NHL 2013
