The youth movement in the NHL was in the spotlight on Friday in the victory of the Flyers over the Habs and the Oilers over the Wild. The youngsters which are shining in this new NHL season are showing in the scorecards on a nightly basis.
Claude Giroux is proving to be a sensation for this year's edition of the Philadelphia Flyers. The guys is a machine. He tallied two more goals against the Habs in a 3-1 victory on Friday night. The kid is young, fast, and he has great hockey sense. He is the leader of the youth movement in Philly and we think he could easily become the heart and soul of the Flyers for years to come. The burden on Giroux was huge after the blockbuster trades by Philly in the post season. His maturity in dealing with the new responsibilities should give Flyer fans something to look forward to for years.
The young guns for the Edmonton OIlers came to life on Friday night again and carried the Alberta boys to a 5-2 win over the Wild. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Taylor Hall notched goals for Edmonton for a team that seems to be a clear contender in their division. The success in Edmonton is the product of years of planning with smart drafting and trades. The kids on the Oilers squad are the future of hockey in this great market and the addition of Ryan Smyth has proven to be the leadership influence which was needed to get to the next level. We really this team and the fact that they can bounce back from adversity so easily. Just like Giroux in Philadelphia; Nugent-Hopkins and Hall show maturity beyond their years and unlimited potential.
