That acceleration/jump from a stand still is absurd. There might only be a handful of guys in the entire league with that kind of explosiveness.

He had Karlsson (a world class skater) scared sh*tless.

Idk if anyone remembers those "The shift" commercials the NHL used to make where they'd highlight otherworldly shifts from a player (Mike Richards vs MTL, Giroux G7 vs BOS were ones) but this one would fit right with those.

I can't get over the play. At that speed to see 1 pen coming from above, sense one on your back & then somehow backwards self pass it then dance letang (fck that guy forever) & to top it all off he falls to one knee, keeps control then gets skinner + kindle to totally bite on the shot fake before dishing it to 19 for a tap-in.

There are honestly probably only 10-15 players in the world who could make that play.

I also forgot to mention he did all that SHORTHANDED.

Idk if he'll ever fully piece it together, but this dudes best is ridiculously good & he's putting on a show thru 2 games while being banged up.

I like many have said multiple times over the last year we should trade him.

Watching these last 25 games + 2 playoff games & I think I'm changing my tune.

This dudes a tank. He's made Erik Karlsson look like he's never skates before... Erik Karlsson....

Add in he's annihilated at least 3 pens and he's having himself a fricken series so far.

I'm so ready for him to blow someone up Wednesday.
