National Hockey League (NHL) top forwards today – Part 8
Teemu Selanne
Teemu Selanne is one of the few players in the NHL currently who, being one of the veterans of the game, managed to beat some of the youngsters in the league. He is currently 40 years old and age doesn’t seem to affect him.
Selanne has emerged as one of the strongest forwards of the league; his performance is one of the main reasons why the Anaheim Ducks are placed high up in the league. At the start of the season, it was speculated that he would not be able to perform, but
he proved this wrong by scoring regularly and at crucial times. The Ducks value him and realize that had it not been for him, they would have been in a much lower position. On the pitch, he gives all he has, and with his vast experience, he takes along young
players in the Ducks; this would also benefit the Ducks in the long run. Teemu Selanne has won the hearts of many Ducks fans and has scored 45 points in the 43 games he has played so far. If the Ducks are looking to make it into the Finals, Teemu Selanne is
the man who could certainly lead them there.
Milan Hejduk
Milan Hejduk plays for the Colorado Avalanche and week in and week out, he keeps on scoring goals. Though some of you might think that he just a forward, he is in fact an excellent centre as well, and makes some of the best assists in the league.
Milan Hejduk’s productivity is increasing even though the Colorado Avalanche are failing to come up with the results they are very well capable of obtaining, given the depth and talent in their squad. In the last game that Avalanche lost 3-2 against Minnesota
Wild, Hejduk scored two goals.
If he continues to do what he is doing, it is expected that in the next season he might move to a bigger team or even take Colorado Avalanche to new heights, if the players perform to the best of their abilities. Currently, he is in good form and certainly
capable of performing better than he is at the moment. He has scored 44 points out of the 44 games he has played so far, and things are surely going to get better with almost half of the season still left to play.
Jonathan Toews
Jonathan Toews is one player who performed very well during the course of the previous season. However, things haven’t been the same during this season as they have had a disappointing campaign. The Chicago Blackhawks, in their defence of the crown, depended
on Jonathan Toews but unfortunately he had a very poor first half of the season.
This, coupled with some other players underperforming, resulted in the Hawks being counted out of even the play-offs by some. If the Hawks are looking to make it into the play-offs, they need to step up their game and Jonathan Toews needs to increase on
his current 40 points during the season.
