http://www.usahockey.com/world_junior_cham....aspx?id=210980i'm sure we all are well acquainted with the hype surrounding Okposo, but Rakhshani is another one who looks good. he's produced at a point per game level in college and has earned praise for being a very slick and creative player.. now that he's made the national U-20 team he will get to strut his stuff at the highest level of international competition for his age.

Let's hope he gives a good showing!!!!
Haha, I just saw BU play the US U-18 team... it was pretty awkward.
The entire U-18 team was a good head and shoulders shorter than us, and definitely looked <17. So of course we chanted things like "you can't vote" and things about lunchables, recess, buying cigarettes and porn, and one of my favorites, "the wheels on your bikes go 'round and 'round ... 'cause you're 15."
(That one, of course, adapted from the ever-popular "the wheels on your house go 'round and 'round ... 'cause you're white trash." We save that one for UNH and Maine.)
ANYWAY.
Good for Okposo and Rakhshani.
And another BU note: Brian Strait and Colin Wilson are up there. Cool.
Seriously, watch Wilson. He's gonna make it big.
Rakshani scores natural hat trick in the 3rd to complete a comeback against St. Cloud State.

impressive. clearly the best player on the ice. he's going to need to get stronger on his skates though. I spent alot of time on the ice after contact.
