I can't believe that Pageau has only 3 points or whatever since his call up.  It feels like he should have 10 or more.  He's everywhere, has great speed and hits as hard as anyone on this team.  I probably see things sometimes watching, but it looked like in the Rangers game he hit a few guys and they looked at him like, who is this little dude who hits like this.

Pageau is a grade "A" pest.

Claesson? Did I somehow miss that he got called up and not notice him playing?

I think Stone had a really good game too.  He reminds me of MacArthur a bit in that he's so smart...the small plays he makes to either break up opposing rushes or initiate a rush...very impressive.

Right now I'm personally cheering on Hoffman and hope to see him climb in the rookie scoring race.  He's gotta be in the convo for rookie of the year if he can pass Forsberg for the goal lead, considering his limited ice time.

Play hard, young guys continue to progress, and quite honestly if they keep playing the way they are playing right now I am fine win or lose.  The progression has been great since Dec, you see it coming along and I am enjoying the Sens more right now aside from the old vets who are now the healthy scratches (shocking ) than I have since the playoff win against Montreal.

Ekblad should be winning it hands down.  Gudreau and Foresberg are right there too.  Hoffman is having a great year but I don't think he can climb into that race unless he ends up with 30-30 which I don't think is going to happen.

It's Ekblad vs Forsberg.  Hoffman needs to add a ton of assists to be in the convo - and even then, his age will take him right back out fo the race.

Should be Ekblad.  He's awesome.

If Hoffman can take over the lead in goals, with a decent margin, with his ice time, I think he's at least in the convo.
