I must have re-watched that whole play 10 times and was amazed at how fast he caught up. Things like that make me appreciate what a player he is. It's also quite enjoyable watching teams try and play dump and chase against him... that usually lasts all of about a half period.

The play for me that got me excited was when poked the puck away from Galchenyuk. Lays on his stomach, Pokes the puck, gets up, picks up the puck before Galchenyuk knew what happened and then fires a backhand pass to Johnny in stride which led to the Granlund goal. TJ is crazy good.
Helps too having a coach that believes in you and keeps toting that you don't know how good you really are...
