Picked a great night to watch my first Aeroes game live last night, team as a whole looked great.
A few takeaways for me in terms of individual performences. Always get a true indication when you can watch a game live.
Frankly, thought a guy like Medvec showed some real potential. I realize he doesnt get alot of positive press, but he was effective, skated better than I thought and had better hands.
Fontaine is very quick with great release, Dowell is a pro--great team guy, positive influence on the young guys no doubt. Dasilva a nice pick up, played a solid game.
Phillips, is going to be a very good NHL player, great hands, vision, good size and his skating looked good. His goal off a great feed by Larrson was a goal scorers goal, off wing with a quick release.
Larrson, looks NHL ready ! I see him as a solid NHL'er for a long time. Likely a third line center, who plays a 200 foot game. Created offence and played in dirty areas.
Kuemper, looked great, very poised and confident.
Biggest surprises were Larrsons offense, Phillips skating and potential of Medvec--all much better than the impression youd get reading this board, IMO.
Looking forward to seeing Bulmer, remember this kid didnt look out of place playing in the NHL a year ago--tons of upside there.
