GOALS ASSISTS PLUS/MINUS 3 20 +9 YEO Huge impact in so many areas. The assists are the first one you're going to look toward, but the leadership and the poise that he has in certain situations.especially late in games. Instead of just whacking the puck away and hoping to get rid of it, he's going to make a play. That sort of thing is contagious for the rest of the group. He's been unbelievable. He's really gone to another level the way he's controlling the game and controlling the play - and producing offensively, that's just a bonus for us. I mean, he plays 30 minutes a night. It's pretty impressive.It makes life easier when you have a guy back there making good plays like that. PARISE BACKSTROM I was just used to playing against him so I didn't know how it feels to play behind him, but he's playing 20-plus, 30 minutes of solid hockey every night and I think he shows all the other guys how to play.
