Here is the link to a great article written about Sammy Pahlsson a client of my athlete representation firm, Eclipse Sports Management.
Sammy scored the game winning goal in Game 6 of the Western Conference Finals to knock the Red Wings out of the playoffs, and then came up big in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Finals scoring the only goal in the Ducks 1-0 victory over the Senators.
While he's scored big goals in the playoffs its defense, not scoring, that is Sammy's forte as he is among the world's best defensive players and one of three finalists this season for the Selke Award as the NHL's Best Defensive Forward.
Sammy provides an excellent example to young players of the importance of players who can bring different skill sets to their teams and make substantial contributions at both ends of the ice.
