dragonballgtz 273 Report post Posted September 24, 2010 So I was watching the replays on TSN and looked at the TB vs Edmonton game. The way that Paajarvi moved I thought I seen a younger version of Fedorov. He split the defense, nice little wrister from the boards, and he wears #91 . I know its just preseason but I was impressed, just wanted to say that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hak 21 Report post Posted September 24, 2010 (edited) I've been waiting for SOO long for magnus paajarvi to age and get to the nhl. I've seen him play since he was 16 and from the first time I watched him play I knew he was a special player. He was disgusting at such a young age. I'm really excited to see him play in the nhl.. Some info about him and his career so far: He has the most points ever by a swede playing J16 team sweden hockey (18). As a 16 year old, playing in the J18 tournament "Memorial of Ivan Hlinka" in 2007 he won the scoring race and also led team sweden to a tournament victory. In 2007 he became one of the youngest players ever to play in SEL (16 years old). In 2007 he became the youngest swedish player ever to play in the worlds junior hockey championship, still at age 16 (he scored in his first game:P). Sweden lost against Canada in the finals. In 2008 he had 7 points in 6 games for sweden in worlds junior. Once again a Swedish loss against Canada in the finals. In 2009 he had 10 points in 6 games for sweden in worlds junior. Bronze this year. 2010 he debuted in Tre kronor and in his first game got the GWG with a "foppa"-shootout goal. 2010 world hockey championship in germany he had 9 poitns in 9games (3rd overall in the tournament). Won +- race and was voted on to the tournament all-star team. 2011 calder trophy as the nhl's best rookie ? ;D Edited September 24, 2010 by hak Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paulwoodsfan 52 Report post Posted September 24, 2010 An impressive debut, but I think I'll wait until he has played at least two exhibition games before awarding him the Calder. A hat trick in his first game could be the worst thing that happens to him because expectations are now going to be sky high. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Four Report post Posted September 24, 2010 (edited) He looked fantastic out there. I was watching the game and he really looked a lot older than his age the way he was skating and making plays. Give Oilers a year or two and they'll have a Datsyuk/Hank like combo with Taylor and Magnus. He was so awesome last night and his goals aren't even all dekes, he can shoot lasers too.

Saw him play like ten times last year he looked pretty good Because he's physically immature atm... Paajarvi and Hall are both 6'1 and over 200lbs already and can handle men 1 55fan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dropkickshanahans 463 Report post Posted September 24, 2010 I think this team's going to be so sick in a couple years or more. Three young future superstars in Hall, Eberle and Paajarvi, plus they already have decent scoring forwards. Could be another Capitals-esque offensive team in the future.
