People are starting to take notice of young Alex Goligoski’s Paul Coffee like abilities and why not, this kid is proving to be #1.
If you question his ability to play in pressure filled situations, look at the job he did filling in for Gonchar in the playoffs for the Penguins last year and the year before he led the WBS Penguins to the Calder Cup Championship leading them in scoring. He also has experience playing on a world stage playing for the U.S. in the 2005 World Junior Championships.
What does he think of all the attention? “There’s so many guys, who knows which way it’ll go, It would definitely be a cool thing. Obviously it would be unbelievable. … It would be a great honor. We’ll see.”
He has made it onto many hockey writers short lists:

Lets just hop Brian Burke comes to his senses and notices that Goligoski’s presence would be the only thing that gives Team USA a chance. His scoring ability, powerplay ability and his ability to bring the puck up the ice should make this a no brainer.
