Jonathan Drouin is going to go in the top 5 of the next NHL entry draft, mostly because he’s ridiculously talented. His performance at the World Junior Championships over the past year put him on my radar, and I quickly became a fan. Or a fanboy. Whatever.

The goal above (versus Bathurst) reminds of the stuff The Professor used to do on the And1 Mixtape Tour – juke someone, flat beat them, then head back to where they started because, whatever, I can do that whenever I want. Those kids he’s up against just aren’t in his league.

Florida Panthers v Buffalo Sabres

Sabres goalie Ryan Miller kept the score tied at three late in the third period against the Penguins after absolutely robbing James Neal of his 12th goal on Hockey Day in America.

Neal was on the receiving end of a beautiful pass from Sidney Crosby, but Miller read the play perfectly and makes an incredible glove save.

San Jose Sharks  v Columbus Blue Jackets

San Jose Sharks goalie Thomas Greiss unveiled his new look mask today, and boy is it ever awesome!

This is the greatest video over, and I feel the need to share it for those who missed it over the weekend on the Buzz.

Dated February 4th, all I can tell you is that it’s from a game in Russia, and the way the ref takes off his bucket as if to say “Welp, this is happening” is amazing.

Los Angeles Kings v Detroit Red Wings

The Red Wings Pavel Datsyuk scores a great goal against the Kings, splitting the Kings defense and going top shelf on Jonathan Quick after taking a sweet pass from Henrik Zetterberg.

Datsyuk is just so, so good.

He is 20-year-old Petr Mrazek, and he appears to be The Coolest Guy. Petr Griffin in the house.

I wish him the very best of luck. I’m already a fan.
