Although I agree with you BlackIce that Protus is the story of the year for the Caps as a player., and certainly the player of the year with most post impact and most improved compared to previous season, etc....It is only a story of one year. (so far)
Ovi's chase of Gretzky's goal record is epic. It is likely the biggest story in all of hockey. It's an accomplishment (or rather, will be) of epic proportion.
For decades, most everyone thought it could never be done, yet hear we are. It will go down in history forever in the record books.
And you are right about Ilya Protas as well. That friggin guy now has 50 goals and 74 assists in 61 games in the OHL....which is 2.03pts per game, and he's a +58. He had a hat trick and 4 pts 2 games ago to get to 50 goals making him OHL player of the week, then slowed down for a mere 5 assists last game. In 61 games, he has had only 8 games with no points, and has 31 multi-point games,
Listed at 6'-5", 200lbs, I expect he will put on more weight as he gets older (currently 18).
Sure hope he progresses into the NHL as his brother has....we could have a heck of a tandem with those two.
