You think a 19 year old that hasn't even played for us has changed the face of the team?
I do ... he has name recognition that is recognized around the league & hockey world & as we see often the media can't get enough of him. IMO he will be talked about a lot this yr for many reasons including his skill level. He has shown in the preseason anyways that he is a force to be reckoned with & IMO others have taken note & are playing with more edge & tenacity. The team is better with him on it & the players are playing better because of it. I think he makes everyone better, he just has that personality that pushes everyone to do more & be better & never give up. I think his enthusiasm & his hard hitting play is contagious & others will follow suit especially the younger players. IMO he will change the personality of this team from being soft & easy to play against to a tenacious & hard to play against team which can't come soon enough.
He's a fine player and should have an impact when he's back, but you have to admit the comment did sound a little silly since he's yet to even suit up.
Sorry, I don't. I think he is that good already & showed he was better than so many thought he would be when they drafted him just from the rookie tournament & preseason. IMO he is changing this team for the better.
It was a joke. I’d been watching and posting all game. Thanks for the tips though.
