Dose of Doan

Shane Doan may be the best player, playing in this years playoffs, that nobody is talking about. In two games, nobody has made their mark like he has. After 9 hits in the first game, including many bone-crushers, he continued that pace in game 2, but this time added a goal and an assist. There may not be a more all around effective player right now.

He has not been in the playoffs since 2002, and is making every shift count. There is some criticism that he is playing over the line, but as one of the classiest players in the league, he is representing what the NHL playoffs are all about. He can play offense, defense, fight, hit, and lead his team with grit, determination, and class. He epitomizes playoff hockey. Don't be fooled if you think this is going to change anytime soon... and it shouldn't.
