Evangelista is easily this years most improved player

I was sitting in Windsor arena yesterday, looking at the stats sheet before the game. And I remembered what a big deal it was when Windsor traded for Will Cuylle. And I remember how many were wishing we could have drafted JL Foudy.
But the stats sheet doesn't lie - Evangelista has more points than both of them.

He sat last year while they put up points. But this year, the field is level.
Evangelista shouldn't feel slighted about missing this game, especially after what he went through last year.

For the team or the league?

For the team or the league?

I think he meant team. Daws has to unanimously get that title for the league. BUG to top starter and team Canada.

 

[HockeyPops]

Doubt it would be unanimous. There are other players too that deserve mention (McMichael, Josling, Jenik, Foerster, ...)

It would be an interesting poll.

 

[PhlyerPhanatic31]

For the team or the league?

On the Knights Roster. Went from a 4th liner with no ice time to a winger on the top line on the team. Big jump and the kid has embraced it and ran with it

Full marks and I tip my hat

Daws' story is amazing. He knew he had to work hard to get down to a comfortable playing weight and he worked his ass off this summer to shed 25lbs and get trimmer,leaner and quicker. I love hearing stories like this. He's got a good head...I like his style and his compete level. I hope he rises from the group and steals Canada's hearts this Christmas

Rick Steadman on the young Knights vs Windsor
By: Mike Stubbs 980News
Those missing bodies have had young players in new roles over the past week and
Steadman admitted it can take some time to get use to more ice time and tougher matchups.
“We came out of the gate flat again. We got onto our heels and they got into our zone. They got some Grade A chances and they scored on them. By the time our feet were going and got
back into the game, it was too late.”
“They are coming around. I thought we were in the zone non-stop in the second
and third periods and I thought our power play was very good,” said Steadman.
London Knights spot Spitfires early lead in Sunday afternoon loss

Thats good we could use him

We need him more than the US does right now(being a bit greedy)

Sucks for the kid not to make it after being there in the past though

The Knights' plan right now is to give both Myskiw and Brochu
a start on the two-game trip.

Is there that much talent or are they punishing him for coming to the CHL?

The answer to this question is probably yes on both accounts.

Good job by the Americans to take the kid all the way to the Cech Repunlic then cut him a day later and send him back to North America. Not a classy move if you ask me..
