Alexander Radulov has been a fan-favourite since his return to the NHL and it’s partly due to the emotion he shows when he plays.
He’s an excitable player who is often on the ice to create some exciting plays. Pair him with two other high-octane talents, like Tyler Seguin and Jamie Benn, and there’s he’s going to be excited a lot. Yesterday was a great example of that as he watched Seguin give his team a lead with a beautiful breakaway goal. As Seguin rounded back up the boards, he was tackled by an overly-excited Radulov.
William Nylander pulled a similar move off this past summer when Sweden won the World Hockey Championship. Henrik Lundqvist wasn’t feeling quite as good as Seguin was after this spill though…
