Big fan of Heponiemi hockey. Uses space well, always working to get the puck across ice, go against grain of defenders and make them move

Really like Filip Chytil. Clear why he made the big club. Great skating/hands, plays for the unit. Check out the entry + lateral dish plays

Another good example of his team unit hockey. Win battle, give and go for exit, headman puck go in with numbers. His shifts are full of this

I mean check out this shift. Provides target for outlet, faces immediate pressure, regroups back to DZ maintaining possession for team (1/2)

Then swings behind net with puck, give and go to exit zone, gets around NZ checks for entry. Team hockey. Pass and move, pass and move (2/2)

One more Filip Chytil. Passing exit, through NZ isolate D for mini 2on1, net drive, grabs puck slid up, pass from shooting spot for the dunk

This is insanely good. I mean from Hossa and from Darryl x.com/kikkerlaika/st…

Really really smart player. My favorite Hossa clip this year: x.com/bobrbrts/statu…

Really like Tolvanen. Fantastic finisher, great shot and great at creating shots. Here he slinks out to strong side soft spot and buries one

Then this goal which is just absurd. Gets the defender to pivot, then drag and shoot between his legs hiding release from goalie

And here's Tolvanen using that shot as a threat... weight shift showing shot, goalie commits hard, then slides that puck back for the dunk

Entry cross and drop give and go. Confusion in coverage, forcing defensive decisions. Turns 2on2 into 1on0. Beautiful hockey from Pettersson x.com/canucks/status…
