From where? Surely not from the course, 4.5 points?
F’ing pitiful

Jeff O’Neill wore #92 because it was the year he was the first overall pick in the OHL Draft.
By all accounts they say he is still finding his way in the Canes system but once he masters that the sky is the limit. Glimpses of the big booming hits and great shot but still adjusting to the North American game. A shame that three of the regular D guys have been banged up most of camp which has thrown things off I would imagine on the defense as a whole so far.
Positionally he's still a mess, but he's processing quicker with the puck. He just needs a good chunk of time to get settled and I think he'll be fine. And by that I mean a useful, reliable NHL defender that you won't have to hide. Personally, I'm gonna give him until Christmas before I have any expectations beyond watching him learn.
He's an efficient skater. Long, strong strides. The kind that had neanderthal fans complaining about how slow and lazy Pitkanen was. He's got a good wrister. He's strong, and can lay people out with his hits. But he picks his spots, and doesn't do it often. He appears to be a smart player.
