Yeah i've noticed it to. Maybe its just me but he seems like he's finishing his checks more and just being more active overall on the ice. I like it. Hoping the rest of the team follows suit.I'm really impressed with how he's rounded his game out from an overall perspective. His backchecking, forechecking and leadership skills all seem to be improved this year in addition to his significant improvement in the faceoff circle... Like he is finally starting to grow into the C that we've been looking for ... I understand it's early but there's just something different about him this year..and I like it.
