Prospect Impressions: Dramatic goals from NHL youngsters, Strome carves up Niagara,

SHL goalie 's lighter-side

Throughout the NHL, young players are making a major impact for their franchises as

teams are relying upon youth to lead their teams into the playoffs. In this week 's

Prospect Impressions, Rickard Rakell, Joel Armia, and Robby Fabbri are featured

with highlight-reel goals. Nashville Predators forward Craig Smith has his shot

blocked and you won 't believe who did it. Plenty more highlights including a fun

look at Dan Girardi 's pirate impression, and one SHL goalie who likes to have some

fun post-game.

Would you be surprised to know that Rickard Rakell currently sits fourth in team-

scoring for the Anaheim Ducks?

Is Joel

Armia about to unleash the fury? His second goal of the night and the Jets have a

5-3 lead. What a goal by Armia.— Illegal Curve Hockey (@IllegalCurve) February 26,

At the beginning of the season, there was an impression out there that the St.

Louis Blues were going to send Robby Fabbri back to junior hockey. In this case,

Fabbri 's play stood out and he simply forced his way into the lineup, where he has

been a consistent threat for a team blessed with a deep group of forwards. Fabbri

recently cracked the top-ten in NHL rookie scoring, and with 15 goals and 13

assists, he 's added his name into the equation for a Blues team expecting to make a

long playoff run.

Ah, Robby

Fabbri. True high-end talent for the Blues. A big reason why the competitive window

will remain open for some time here.— Jeff Gordon (@gordoszone) February 28,

With a final spot in the Minnesota Boy 's Class AA State Hockey Championship on the

line, 3,400 fans filled the Aldrich Arena in Minnesota. With the game knotted up in

overtime, junior forward Noah Cates sent his team into hysteria with a spin-o-rama

goal that will be remembered in Minnesota hockey lore for a long time.

Noah

Somewhere in Welland, Ontario, there is a minor-hockey coach smiling as Dan Girardi

did exactly what he was taught growing up: keep an eye on the puck at all

    The Wyong Roos spine including their interchange hooker stepped up in what is a critical part of the season to hunt down an early Newcastle lead and win a 30-22 thriller. Mitch Cornish and Jayden Nikorima were instrumental in the halves, Luke Sharpe was as devastating as ever, Mitch Williams put in a true captains knock and Grant Garvey made a massive impact off the bench in promising signs for the Roos just one week out from finals.

    As we get through OTA's and begin yet another preseason in Tampa Bay, we believe we have the right guys in place on defense. With the acquisitions of Vinny Curry, J.P.P., Mitch Unrein, and Beau Allen added to the defensive line, it adds the depth we have not had in a long time! The line will consist of Gerald McCoy and Vita Vea mainly at the DT position, with Unrein and Allen likely as reserves, but those two, just might end up playing a bigger role than anyone thinks!…

My first game exemplified the setbacks my fear imposed on my team when I frighteningly moved out of the way of an enormous player to grant him a free pass to the net in which he scored the game winning goal.

If you had asked me if I wanted to play a sport, I would have laughed at the prospect, so I surprised even myself when I answered yes to my mother’s inquiry about joining my school’s new flag football team. I worried about it for the weeks leading up to the first practice, but eventually I decided “Why not? It may end up being fun.”…
