I'm sure many of you have seen it by now, but I figured everyone else was posting it, so WHY NOT!
Here's the thing, this wasn't some OHL rookie or marginal roster filler. Strome undressed Whalers captain Beau Schmitz on the play. Here's another thing, the move was done at top speed, which is obviously incredibly impressive. Lastly, for those that aren't familiar with Strome and the way he plays the game, these stickhandling displays are not out of the ordinary. He's an incredibly creative offensive player, especially off the rush. You'll see him turn a defender inside out nearly every time you watch him play.
The scary thing is...what happens when he gets even faster and even stronger?
Hats off to you Mr. Strome for a thing of beauty. Speaking of hats, I'll eat mine if by the end of the year, Strome isn't in consideration for the top 10 (if he keeps playing the way he's playing).
Strome's move looked a heck of a lot like Taylor Hall imho. textbook.
