Really liking Ferlands game and attitude. I mean how can you not like this?

Ferland, especially, muscled into the picture.

Markus Granlund legged it into Jets territory, snapping a shot on net. Hustling over was Ferland, who, in a single second, showed off his assets — expertly converting the rebound, then meanly decking Jets captain Adam Lowry, six foot five.

“I always hate playing against Lowry,” said Ferland, referring to their Western Hockey League feud — he in Brandon and Saskatoon, Lowry in Swift Current. “He’s a good guy. I’m actually good friends with him, but I hate playing against him.”

Curiously, Ferland downplayed his night’s toil, despite uncorking a number of heavy hits, despite seeking (unsuccessfully) for a willing dance partner, despite authoring the game-winning goal.

“I got a few licks in on guys, but that, too, felt a little late, a little slow,” said the 22-year-old, who played with Granlund and Jooris. “I didn’t feel the way I wanted to feel. I’ve still got a lot of work to do if I want to make this hockey club.”
