Not being a big Spezza fan, and with Alfie being a Deity in my home, I was really worried about my attachment to the team, atleast the intensity, when Alfie retires, but Karlsson will suit just fine.
Am I the only one thinking that EK is the closest were going to see to a Bobby Orr-esque player? Of course Orr is, well, Orr.. but Karlsson is just so dynamic in every facet of his game. Truly beautiful to watch him play, and i'm a Leaf fan (don't yell at me)..
I've always been the type to say NO NO NO, to whenever they compare them. But if you think of how both have gone outside the norms for their own position, but have done it in an exciting and not detrimental way, yeah they are very similar.
I thought Lundin was fine too. Of course he wasn't spectacular -- but he was solid enough. He made some really good plays, and when he did lose it a bit -- he fought hard to get the puck back.
Its his first game in a while, I think he's doing fine (horrendous is FAR from a word I'd use).

No this is accurate, the way he plays and effects the game is similar to Orr but I don't think he will ever be equal to better or than him though.
You could also compare him to Paul Coffey and Ray Bourques first couple seasons but I don't think he will get as many points since the competition around him these days is better than what was around in the early 80'.
I saw the puck hit the post on Neil's shot... Could be mistaken, I was eating a 14' from Domino's Pizza

At the same time, people keep complaining how bad our defense is but not a lot of NHL teams have been able to score more than 1 goal against us so far, so we MIGHT be doing something right. Unless people really think it's ONLY Karlsson and Anderson, wouldn't surprise me
