That game would have been a good learning experience for our prospects. There was little flow to the game and Laval closed down time and space quickly and had good defensive sticks.
I found Cole was in his usual good spots but was having some issues doing what he wanted with the puck through the first two periods due to the tight checking. I thought figured things out by the third and was dangerous once again. I just love how he moves and his decisions with the puck in the nz. His vision is top notch, best I have seen of a Jets prospect.
Samberg I though struggled with his breakouts tonight, the forwards didn't help him out much though but he miss fired a number of times. He was still sound defensively and I like the physicality. I would like to see him up with Morrissey if Poolman is down for a while.
Heinola - Used his jedi mind tricks to make the Laval player score on his own net with a rocket slap shot for his first goal of the game. His second goal was a beauty shot. Other then that he was steady in his own end and moved the puck well.
Chisholm and Gawanke were solid.
Kovacevik is playing like a goon and needs to cool it on the head shots. I like the guy but I dislike headhunting.
