Curious on your take of Talvitie so far. One thing is clear, the kid is a sniper.

I've only made it to 4 of the games this year. My impression of him is that he is strong on his skates and plays really hard too. One thing stands out - he back checks well. Not every player likes to back check. Overall, I underestimated the PSU team coming in to this season. With the maturity and improvement of the guys coming back and the addition of players like Larsen and Talvitie, this team should be real good by the end of the season.
