NHL Power Shuffle: How the Hurricanes Surged to No. 1 and the Surprising "Our Guys" Shaking Up Every Team
So who’s #OurGuy from the league’s best team? We’re going with Jackson Blake, who’s off to a nice start after signing a bajillion dollar extension this summer. He’s notably stolen Andrei Svechnikov’s spot on the top power play in the early going which could put him in line for a productive season. Also, he has a movie star name which is important.
2. Colorado Avalanche, 5-0-3
Last week: 1
Sean: 2
Dom: 2
When it comes to #OurGuys, we tend to skew on the young side — the up-and-coming talents ready to make a name for themselves. We, uhh, don’t have a lot of options on that front with the Avalanche, so instead we’re going to root for the guy with the best story. That’s obviously Gabriel Landeskog. With two points in eight games (and a goal unjustly taken away from him earlier this week), Landeskog is off to an unfortunately slow start. But we have faith the Avalanche captain will look closer to the somehow-still-dominant player we saw in last year’s playoffs.
