The Luis Arráez info is interesting. Looks like old school slap hitter. Lots of singles. Would be cool to see if he can hit 400. Would they defrost Ted Williams’s head to break a hot streak?
P.S. My Habs just two years were one of those teams that came back from a 3-1 series deficit (albeit in a first round series), against the Toronto Maple Leafs, and Florida has already done it once in this year's playoffs, against a Boston Bruins team that almost everyone thought was a lock to win the Stanley Cup.
