It Came From Twitter: Tarasenko Videos on #stlblues

A sticktap goes out to Russian hockey writer and friend of the blog Alex Seren Rosso (@AlexSerenRosso) for sharing the links to a couple of Vladimir Tarasenko videos on YouTube via the Blues #stlblues hash tag today.

Checkout the sick shootout goal…

..and this KHL promotional clip featuring Tank…

..and for good measure here is a compilation highlight reel. Sick hands, smooth skating and off the charts presence of mind.

After watching the videos all that comes to mind is “Tarasenko is a Russian Oshie”.

Let’s hope he scores more than Oshie, & parties less than Oshie. & stays healthier than Oshie. My T.J. Oshie ‘honeymoon’ phase is over with. Oshie needs to shape up or he’ll be shipped out . . . hence the one year contract.

But yes, Vlad is exciting indeed!! Let’s hope we see him in N. America next season . . . finally.
