I went to the oil kings swift current game last night and saw Coda Gordon for the first time.
From this game he seems the kind of player who can slide into the open spaces ( got into the slot for a one timer ) and will go to the front of the net to screen or try to deflect shots. The second swift current goal was a result of him going to the net and screening/distracting the goalie. He was used on both the PP and PK. He wasn't overly physical as he lost most of his battles for the puck down low and his speed seemed average/ slightly above for the whl. Of note it was a pretty lacklustre game with for both sides. The most noticeable players were Moroz for the oil kings and Honka and Heatherington for swift current, Griffen Reinhart looked disinterested.
