Umm wow.
9/10 last points taken... 4/4 against Stanley cup final Stars on the road?
Playing timely defense and A+ special teams too. Most impressive is the fact that all these aspects of good play are being displayed by our surprising depth. Janmark 5 goals lately, Kurashev and Suter bouncing around showing speed and top 6 skill.
Beaudin maybe the most surprising out of anyone. He is playing in all situations and getting 2nd pairing TOI. He looks calm and smooth and has some good activation awareness which is something difficult for Zadorov and Boqvist. He looks good. Makes some of the other guys look expendable.
So far this season they’ve hit on all their trial guys.... Hagel looks tremendous, KL32 an instant starter, Kurashev a top 6 playmaker and Beaudin maybe a top 4 surprise.
Mitchell has been ok... maybe better in first week. His best asset is still his passing. Excellent passer to second blue line.
Zadorov still bad... de Haan average / smart as heck, but very average to below average skill.... and the biggest worry is Boqvist... which skipping RIH is becoming a clear misstep.
16 pts in 14 games is a huge surprise... if you told me they had 8pts in 14 games before season I’d say that was about right.
