It's been a while since New York has had a dynamic power-forward like Rick Nash. The most recent comparison is Jaromir Jagar from his 52 goal performance in the '05/'06 season. Nash is not only a prolific scorer, but his 6'4" 215 pound frame makes him nearly impossible to defend. With 17 goals and 18 assists Nash is playing at a perfect point per game pace. The most amazing stat that he has put up this year is his "goals by period" mark. In just 35 games, he has tallied 12 of his 17 goals in the third period. That is an outstanding statistic which illustrates how much this guy can ramp up his level of play in crunch time.
Playing on a line with budding Center Derek Stepan, Nash has recorded 5 goals over his last 5 games. He has mastered the power move to the net in it's most beautiful fashion. Last night his skills were on display as he used his patented move twice to notch his third multi-goal game of the season. Here is a look at how it's done:
Yeah, he's really good.
