He's always in the right place at the right time and made one amazing save that absolutely should have been a goal (I forget which period). The fans took up the chant of JB, JB, JB several times during the game.
The Lazar goal was amazing. That kid will be our best player next year on a team that should be better than this version of the Oil Kings is. He has world-class speed. It wouldn't surprise me to see him go high first round in 2013.

Agreed on Lazar...one thing have noticed though is that the Oil Kings shelter his minutes perhaps more than any other player in the league.
In one particular game against Kamloops, Lazar only played about six minutes in the game...the team rolled 11 forwards and he sat on the bench. He got icetime for ONE defensive zone start...and on that occasion coaching staff was giving him special instructions for something. They did not trust him against top pairings and lines and they did not trust him if the faceoff was in their own zone.
Despite this he showed incredible speed, hockey IQ and scored a disallowed goal. Has looked more impressive this year at 16 than Ryan Nugent-Hopkins did at this age.
