To give you some background that is the first round of the NCAA playoffs, Agostino's Yale (18-12-3) were playing one of the tournament favorites in Minnesota (26-8-5). On the first goal, Agostino's read of dropping lower and finding the open room was terrific. The shot that he executed was even better. This was huge for them to get the first goal of the game. Clutch shot.
On the overtime winner watch the slow mo to see the play he makes. He pressures the D into making the turnover. It looks like he makes the Dman think he's going to hit him, but changes direction and takes the puck instead. He makes a quick move around the net and gets it out to his teammate who ends the game.
This guy plays hard every shift and makes things happen when he's on the ice. I see him being a terrific third line player for us.

To add to this, it was Agostino who caused the turnover to create the opportunity for that 1st goal, he didn't just bury it.
