So you missed EJ's skating clinics vs Norway and Finland? He had an end to end with a one on one move even. The guy is 17, 6'4 220 can skate like the wind, pass like Blake and deliver crippling hits. One shift on a PP, he faked a slap shot, which opened the lanes and faked the goalie, then delivered a tape to tape bullet pass for a one timer down low. Scary talent from EJ.
Defensively on one play, he caught up with an opposing breakaway forward and calmly took his stick out of the play while leaning on him to take him off the puck killing the chance. He doesn't look undiciplined. He just looks like a moose with great wheels, a booming point shot and great instincts. He''s unquestionably the US answer to Chris Pronger in a few years.
