Bouchard has added Sandpaper to his impressive O skills.
Agree Shane on the 'unspoken player.'
Jacob Golden is a good player but not consistent with his game at key times.
imho:
He has the 'skill set' to be a good player but maybe should reverse his thinking
on what that means.
Victor Mete is the template of what fits for his size and speed.
If that may be true, then Jacob would need to start to intensify his focus on defence.
Yes, Mete is a dynamic force on Offence but it's his D coverage that frustrates the
biggest and fastest opponents he matches up with in the corners and in front of the net. Rather than using 'bull' Mete is a surgeon with stripping the puck and moving it quickly to his
team-mate on the tape.
Take care of your own end first and the points will rack up naturally.[/QUOTE]
I think it’s kind of unfair to compare any players to Mete. Mete was an unique and would be quasily impossible to copy by anyone. The player in question, I reserve myself the pointing of a player when there are a full cast playing along side of him. Each players develop there own personalities and skills sometime others do better. We can scream and call out a players all we want and he won’t hear us but a pierced stare by his own peers, coaches and fans will sometime do wonders to a players.
