A Star Is Born

So, I lost power last night. It literally just came back on 15 minutes ago, and it was down for 24 hours. (Aside: I lose power a lot. Every time it’s windy out, I lose power. I’d invest in a generator, but I’m moving in the summer. Not because of the power issues. But, that did play a (small) role. But I digress).

Anyway, I had to listen to the game on the radio, which really isn’t the same. But, the name I kept hearing was Artem Anisimov. Anisimov with the puck. Anisimov with the defensive play. Anisimov with the goal. It appeared that Anisimov was the best player on the ice last night (Those who watched please confirm or deny).

Anisimov is not going to score 30 goals this year, like he did in Hartford. But he may get 20. He’s quickly learning the defensive side, and he’s a really good in his own end. He can play on the power play, and kill penalties. In the future, Anisimov will be a 30 goal scorer. He’ll be great in his own end.

My point is this: Anisimov is a star in the making. He’ll center the first line for years to come. Best part: He’s homegrown.
