100% read that as "steal the win"...

 

[Artnes]

JVRish but not charmin soft on the boards. I'll take it at 57

I'm tellin ya, he could be awesome. It'd be one thing if this was a shifty little guy, but he's big and physical and making those plays.

 

[Preston]

Yeah he plays the way jvr should have played with his combo of size and skill. Hopefully that translates to the show.


And no, I still can't get JVR out of my head when I watch that guy.

He has the build and frame of JVR, and when he's around the net maybe resembles him, but I don't think JVR was this type of player.

JVR was a great skater when he was younger! Speed, skill, strength, size. He's got the same package really. But yeah he might be grittier and better on the boards and puck battles. JVR was a bit of a bitch but he was capable of more.

 

[hockeylover]

Wouldn’t mind seeing him pick it up a bit here in the second half but yeah, pretty comparable numbers to JVR. Two assists off.

Looks like the way he plays would be a nice complement to elite players too.

1st 10gms: 4gls, 7pts
2nd 10gms: 3gls, 13pts

Wish they broke down PP scoring but I'm pretty sure he wasn't on the top unit to start the year.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Definitely a Leaf. Goals are down now that he's on the top PP unit.
