If you’re even considering buying a @Mcr_Storm ST or going to a Storm game next season, it’ll be worth it for just to watch Eric Neilson!

Needless to say that signing Eric Neilson has completely de-railed my “Hockey hibernation”. Been able to handle the post-season until to now

Can’t help but feel a bit of jealousy towards Storm managing to sign Eric Neilson. He will be a big hit there.
