I thought the first few games he stood out, but not in the good way. He's completely misplayed a 2 on 1 at least twice, maybe more (To be fair, I don't think any defender on this team knows what to do when they're facing a 2 on 1. They all get hung up trying to decide whether to take the pass away or step up on the shooter and inevitably leave their goaltender out to dry.) Early on, I thought he was going to be a disaster (and yes, I realize making those sort of judgments after just a couple of games are silly. Even now, I've only seen him play in person 7 times, I think....)
He's improving though. I'm noticing him here and there for good things, and there are fewer bad things that I see.
Seriously though, at least 2 of the 2 on 1's that he blew were right in front of me (we're on the blue line in 114) and I wanted to throw something at him. Both those were pretty early, so he caught my eye as being suspect defensively then, and now he looks on par with the other defensemen.
