I agree that he is irreplaceable. He was tough last year and even though we didn't get past the first round. What impressed me most about him then was that hit on Pronger. He was trying to give a hit, or he took one, and he was upended and he landed on his head and he kept on skating. He is one tough cookie, sort of like Stevie in a way with his heart. HE always comes back for more no matter what happens.
I love his grit and speed. I think that will benefit him in the playoffs. I think the turning point for him offensively was the SHG Penalty shot and then that helped him in the SHG.
He is having the time of his life and he appreciates everything that he has. That you can't help but appreciate.
