with this "new" NHL, these young playmakers are pretty freakin' amazing. Ovechkin (now 3-for-3 in shootouts), Crosby, Stahl... these ain't names that are only going to be around for a year or so! the guard is changing folks, and it is a leaner and faster time for hockey. Like everyone, I hate to see the marquee players leave (yes, even Brett Hull), but the future is looking nice and bright.
