Oh, I guess it's because of the drool-worthy skill he's showing:






Clearly plays Jankowski can't make

Heck, that pass is nice - yet isn't even as impressive as some of the passes Jankowski was making in the Frozen Four.

The guy hasn't even lit up the AHL. HIs 25 points in 39 AHL games have an NHLE of 23.
Know what Jankowski's NHLE is, Jankowski the bust whose numbers suck? 24.5.

So far Teravainen's NHL production isn't exactly amazing. Hot playoffs, yes. But overall he has 17 points in 47 games. If that were Sven we'd be begging for him to be sent down.
Pretty sure a lot of posters would like to believe differently but a huge difference between D1 college and the NHL. 17 points in 47 games.... As a 20 yr old on a Stanley Cup finalist?
Yep...really impressive,
