Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo disappointed in Samuellson so far though. Yeah he did well with the twins against LA last play-offs but that's about it. I'm not sure if I'm correct but I think I see a pretty big Kovalchuk-syndrome with this guy; basically just looking for passes to shoot but rarely has the grinding aspect in his play to generate possession or chances for his teammates.
I mean, yes he has a great shot but there's really nothing else to write home about. Hitting? Nope. Forecheck? Nope. Goalie screen? Playmaking? Backchecking/defense? Nope. I wish this guy had more to offer, more dimensions to his game.

It's like he's reverted back to his Detroit days and aims for the goalies logo every shot now. I don't really care if he rips it up during the regular season but I hope he'll still be clutch come playoff time.
