Having followed David's journey since this thread appeared in 06/07 I have a trip to Edmonton in January and will get to see him play live, can't wait!
Followed DP since his draft year on here. Have always followed the Oilers so easy for me. I think this will work out well for David as he is a good fit for the Oilers. Looked like last season's lockout cost him some foot speed which I am sure a summer of crazy perron off ice training will put right. Can't wait to see what he does in EDM.
Congrats on the season you are putting together. Great that you come on here and twitter to share some of your experiences. Your journey, practise habits and love for the game are an inspiration. Keep up the great work.
What? Couldn't find anything but saw a pic on the Post-Dispatch of him taking a blocker shot to the face from Budaj - that broke his visor in half? http://stltoday.mycapture.com/PHOTOS/STLT/...0/22187423E.jpg Looks like his nose is still taking quite a mashing. Matt D'Agostini caught a PUCK squared between the eyes on Friday night in Buffalo...didn't crack the visor...but obviously pushed it back on his face enough that it bloddied his nose....if that punch cracked David's visors...that one hell of a punch. And the coaches always tell you good things happen when you drive to the net.....
There is a nice little montage of goals by 07 first rounders if you look in the Recent Highlights section here http://www.cbc.ca/sports/player/ Nice bit on David and shows a few of his goals.
