Hagman Is My Hero
I really enjoy watching Hagman and Kulemin on the fore-check.  For two small-ish guys they play big in the corners and aren't afraid to go to the net.  Hagman, in particular, is willing to take abuse.  Hagman came back from a concussion to score a goal a game from in close.  Also something that brings me much joy is the Tikannen-esque attitude that Hagman throws around at times.  The staring down at Nabokov after a late goal in a 5-2 loss to the Sharks was as satisfying a useless goal at the end of a game as I can imagine.  I hope to see the Kulemin-Hagman-Grabovski line sticking together, especially to get Kulemin off of the fourth line.  He isn't going to get any better offensively playing with Deveaux, but he may learn a bit about taking the body.  He does fine now, but he could be even more physical to great effect.  I have a feeling there will be another Hagman goal tonight, assisted by the lately-silent Grabovski.  I am calling a Toronto win of 3-2 with Pogge getting his second win of the season.
