Went to the game today. Not the best performance, but a few notes anyway:
Vaakanainen - best player on the team by a good margin. Scouting report on him is wrong, has great offensive instincts. Looks very thin though, so not much physical game and not a heavy shot.
Zboril - paired with Vaak and the two played rally well together. Got a ton of ice time. Actually caused Z to wear down by the end, which is a knock on him. Does have great poise with the puck, and instincts in all three zones. Heavy shot, but overpasses on the blue line.
Donato - did not look good at all. If he isn't scoring, just not very involved. Has a habit of gliding a lot.
Fitzgerald - looks really sharp. Quick, skilled and smart. Could be our forward version of Grzelcyk. Needs a look in the NHL soon.
Senyshyn - has similar problems to Donato. Doesn't do much if he isn't on a scoring chance. Did sprint the full length of the ice on a set play and it was awe inspiring.
Stempniak - clearly a NHL experienced player. Super strong on the puck at this level, and poised too.
