OEL vs. Karlsson

[Chris]

I definitely agree that today, Karlsson has been better in the last three years (different drafts of course), but I think that chasm is closing -- and quickly too. As for OEL's goal, I don't think it really matters how clean a goal is -- though his 2nd goal of the night was an absolute rocket that the goaltender didn't even see.

Not saying that this kind of skill will be a staple of his game down the road, but it's impressive to say the least:

I tried this move awhile ago and I couldn't drag the puck cleanly on the toe without losing control of it.

I'll take NOW OEL over NOW Karlsson
