Every week two of our hockey writers debate over one topic: it's the 2-on-1. This week, Adam Gretz and Kevin Schultz discuss the recent criticism directed at youngsters Linus Omark and P.K. Subban.

Adam Gretz: I don't know about you, Kevin, but Linus Omark instantly become one of my favorite players in the NHL on Friday night after that shootout goal against Tampa Bay.

Anybody that can rile up that many emotions -- glee, anger, excitement, outrage -- in his first game in the big leagues has to be awesome. As I said that night, the goal itself wasn't really all that spectacular, but the way he came in, the way he approached it ... it took some stones, and it was awesome. He's been a YouTube sensation of sorts prior to this, and I was waiting for him to make his NHL debut to see what he would do, and he didn't disappoint.

Your thoughts, not only on the goal and the way he did it, but also the reaction. Do you like it? Hate it? Love it? Are you thirsty for more?
