My thoughts- Main players
A majority of the team struggled today, majority of the time was spent in our D-zone. Our 4th line wasn't too good, Campbell was 3 for 16 from the face off dot. Calvert showed his typical hustle, but none really stood out. They looked better as the game went on though.
Johansen was good. Bobrovsky other than a questionable decision early on in the game was terrific. I thought Tyutin had his good and bad moments.
Prospects-
Sonny Milano needs some 2 way work, not overly impressive(but only Johansen and Bob really were). He tried to cherry pick a couple times, seemed a bit confused/lost/lazy on defense, not too worried.
Michael Palliota- He had his good and bad moments overall I thought. I would need to re-watch tape to have a better feel though.
Veeti Vainio- You can see why he is known for his questionable decision making/defensive abilities on the ice. One bad centering pass. Another play or two that could have ended badly. But, he was out there for the power plays, had a good deke/fake and put a shot on net I believe. Needs to eat, develop, and learn to play smarter, but I still like the pick.
Paul Bittner- I like him. Some questioned his signing an ELC, but he has good size, pretty good speed/skating for his size, and a good shot.
Forsberg- Allowed his first shot faced to go in but settled down after that.
