Yeah Dallas is a tougher matchup than St. Louis for sure, hopefully the Blues take out the Stars. Heiskanen is pretty damn dope, and if Bishop can stay on a roll, they could make a solid darkhorse candidate.
Heiskanen has transformed Dallas practically overnight.

He's already surpassed Benn and Seguin as the Franchise.

He's a Norris Trophy just waiting to happen, at 19 years of age.

He actually reminds me of Lidstrom.

And I remember Lidstrom as a rookie.

Lidstrom never played in the NHL at 19 though, Doughty did, and you could tell he was Norris Defensemen in the making at the same age. That's what I mean, wasn't a stylistic comparison or anything.

Tru.

Although Lidstrom did put up 11 goals and 60 points at 21.

He wasn't that much older when he came from Vasteras.

Heiskanen is having a similar effect.

Dallas was weak on the back end, suddenly you drop this Lidstrom like kid into the mix, boom, they are in business again.

Meanwhile Sweden won the under-18 IIHF World Championship. Anty interest for that over there? Fun to spot some new talent and good to know the future of Hockey looks bright.

Sweden defeated Russia 4-3 after a hat trick by Lucas Raymond. The first one was beatiful.



Two other names to remeber is Alexander Holz and the goalie Hugo Alnefelt.



Canada lost the bronze game to USA after having been defeated by Sweden in the semi.
