What has gotten into PDG these past few games? He looked like a lifeless plug for the entire season and suddenly he looks like a skilled playmaker and sniper. Totally different player these last 3 games.
Williams is giving me an ulcer with his turnovers. Not that they are just turnovers, but seemingly at the worst spot on the ice which leads to the other team getting a great chance.
Foegele looked nervous at first, but he looked very good. The goalie gave up the short side (which we'd crucify Darling or Ward for) on his goal, but Foegele's hands and play along the board in getting the puck, getting separation and then taking it to the net were the most impressive part of the play. He's fast and physical and has a motor and he came in, played as advertised and even got to PK. I realize it's probably because it was his 1st game, but he looks like a player that just loves to play.
Zykov is a tank. Guys were bouncing off of him when they tried to hit him. Thought he was a little "too selfish" at times last night as there were a few plays where he had either Aho or TT but chose to shoot. Hard to complain though as the coach told him to do that and if he sticks in the NHL, that's what he's going to be, the shooter and he's been producing.
