Wednesday, December 29th, 2010
If you are looking for an under-the-radar pickup, Evgeny Dadonov may be your man.
In eight games since his recall from Rochester of the AHL, Dadonov has registered eight points and has been one of the Panthers’ best players. The 21-year-old right winger has offensive potential as evidenced by some productive seasons in the Russian Super League and the AHL. Keep an eye on him.

Evgeny Dadonov Proving To Be One of Florida’s Most Dynamic Players
Wednesday, December 29th, 2010
It’s obvious that rookie winger Evgeny Dadonov is enjoying his stay with the Panthers and doesn’t want to go back to the minors. Brought up from Florida’s AHL affiliate in Rochester, N.Y., because of all of Florida’s injuries, Dadonov has been one of Florida’s most dynamic players over the past few weeks.
In the eight games he’s been up, Dadonov has two goals and six assists. Thursday marked his second two-point NHL game in the past four games. Both came against Buffalo. Dadonov had a strong season in Rochester last year and a very good training camp before losing the numbers battle and being sent back down.
Winning Is Everything For Samuelsson
Wednesday, December 29th, 2010
Mikael Samuelsson has had massages to trigger points in his lower abdomen to relieve right-leg stiffness. But nothing triggers a response from the right-winger quite like when it’s pointed out that his goal total has dwindled and that he’s playing a secondary role with the Vancouver Canucks.
Not only did Samuelsson snap home a third-period goal Sunday to help spark a 3-2 victory over Edmonton, he’s on a four-game points streak with two goals and three assists because his stride is noticeably stronger. So is his resolve on a third line with Manny Malhotra and Raffi Torres to prove that an NHL playoff pedigree really means something now and especially next spring. Even at age 34.
“I obviously want to contribute and I know I can — that’s why I’m in this game,” Samuelsson stressed Monday. “I get pissed when I’m not getting ice time, but you’ve got to have that drive or you can quit this game. Once you’ve been up to a level, as soon as you go down it’s tough and not so much fun.”
Revitalized Khabibulin is back in action
Wednesday, December 29th, 2010
Retirement is going to be a problem, proclaimed Edmonton Oilers goaltender Nikolai Khabibulin.
He has never really considered it, contemplated it or even thought about it until a herniated disc in his back pulled him away from the game for 10 long months.
Now that he’s playing again, and playing with a renewed zest for the game, Khabibulin is relishing the here and now.
“I definitely missed playing,” said Khabibulin, who faced 30 shots in Tuesday’s 2-1 loss to the San Jose Sharks.
“I think the longest I had been out with an injury was eight weeks. This was 10 months and it made me think of what it’s going to be like because, at some point, I’m going to have to stop playing.”
