Sharks 19 year old rookie Thomas Hertl scores 4 goals, the fourth from between his legs..

Hertl doesn't speak much English, but the Sharks or their fans don't care.. he has a total of 6 goals in his first 3 NHL games..

1. That's a Mario Lemieux move right there.

Kid has some serious skill. I have him on my fantasy team.

2. He looks like the real deal that's for sure..

of course playing on the same line with Joe Thornton doesn't hurt. He literally is just a kid, even brought his mom, dad and girlfriend over from the Czech Republic..and as you can see, grew up a big Jaromir Jagr fan..

3. I have no problem with that shot but I understand

that the kid was taken out after this goal. He is now a target.

5. Thought that was a smart move by McLellan...

hockey games have a tendency to deteriorate in the latter half of the 3rd when one team is routing the other. Plus Brad Stuart had knocked out Rick Nash with a shot for which he's now been suspended 3 games. The Rangers weren't happy.

Hertl says he likes the physical side of the game and my Center Ice free preview says he's telling the truth because he's already taken and delivered some big hits. At 6' 2" 210 he can take care of himself...the Sharks veterans are looking out for him too.

6. That was some crazy shi*t!!
