I really like this signing, Lomberg definitely earned it. Went to Penticton this past summer and he was one of my favourite players to watch. I was surprised that a no name like him caught my eye. There's just something entertaining about watching a guy who laid it on the line every single game and was clutch when he needed to be. His mouth never stopped chirping during, between and after each play. You could see that he got under the skin of every opposing player. Tkachuk and Lomberg definitely didn't make any friends in the rookie tournament.
My buddies and I were so impressed that after one of the games we chatted with Ryan Huska about Lomberg. He said that he's not only a good hockey player, but a great human being. Glad to hear that he got a contract and I hope he can make it to the show one day.
