1. I love this entry.. and I love Pavel. Pavel and Trevor together…those were the glory days.

2. oohhh the good old days. It was soooo exciting to watch Pavel play. We’ll ever see another like him even tho we need one sooooo badly. He drew us in like magnets then left us forever mortally wounded, all for the sake of a U.S. dollar.

3. Thanks for that–it did not disappoint. The thing I loved about Bure, and the thing that made him great, was that he was utterly fearless. He had a top speed faster than anybody in the league, and he’d wield it with wild abandon. That, of course, led to the injuries that slowed him down in later years.

   Indeed, his effort was inconsistent. Still, he was exceptionally fun to watch. I had a chance to see Ovechkin when he was in town last year, and he’s similar (though bigger and stronger)–incredibly quick, and a threat to do something magical on every shift.
