Have not had the "chance" to watch a game for some time so some random thoughts since my last time:
- Dvorak is a finesse passer, he is improving quickly in every aspect, I am very impressed. A cornerstone for the future.
- Similarly Crouse is a very different player now than earlier in the season. He crushes people and has some nice skills. He plays a lot bigger now.
- Chrychrun is amazing for his age, and incredibly resilient. Could be a leader for us in years to come, perhaps even captain material
- Dauphin brought a lot of energy in there, he looked more confident and the NHL/AHL split seems to work for him and his game.
- I agree with the assessment that Golo is settling in now
- I like Schenn, and I have since the start of the season. Perhaps many will disagree, but he does what he needs to do and he does it well.
- I did not miss Hanzal one bit; I appreciate him but time to move on
- I missed Domi a lot; so very little skills in the game (including the Isles players also), hopefully Burmistrov (with reasonable low expectation) will help a bit on that front
- OEL, I am baffled by some of his on ice decisions. Really looks like his self confidence is very very low.
On a side note, Tavares always underwhelms me in any game I watch him. I am not sure if it is him or the Isles system in which he plays but it is puzzling.
