Islanders fans I've talked to have been happy with how he recovered. He does a lot of hitting and is one of the toughest forecheckers on the Sound Tigers. The biggest concern is still that he can't generate his own offence...like Iginla, he's simply a great finisher. When the entire team struggled, he couldn't pull them out himself.
