Would have preferred the series be a Home-Away-Home. Losing G1 in a 3 game series when the teams are so close is never going to be good.
I don't think Gus was injured. BSens blew game 1 up 3-0 going into the 3rd . Outplayed Rochester in OT and didn't score on some good chances.
In game 2 Belleville outplayed Rochester for most of the game .. Rochester scored on a their chances. MDZ could have been the difference in both games.
That 3rd Rochester goal
2 minutes after we made it 2-1
No one on the BSens is seriously banging the door down ... Kastelic and Kelly can be serviceable 4th liners. I found both seemed to play better in the NHL.
Sokolov I find is too slow . His skating still needs improvement. He will get more looks but not sure if he can displace anyone.
Jarventie had some growth in his game. He became more confident with the puck occasionally beating people one on one .. his overall pace improved and he has a bomb of a shot. He will need to take that to the next level in Belleville ..become more of a consistent force. Consistency needs to improve. He's got something .. just needs to keep improving.
JBD I think showed quite a bit. He and Heatherington were the two go to guys for Mann in the big defensive situations. He doesn't panic. He has a really good mind for the game. He needs to get stronger and improve his speed/quickness. Played well under pressure. Potential is there.
Thomson has the skating and agility and the shot. More of an offensive role in Belleville. Can jump in the offense and produce chances. Plays hard. He needs to get stronger and be more consistent defensively.
Reinhardt is very much an up and down winger with decent size and speed. He works .. A 4th line callup option is where I see him now.
