Ya they did..too bad. That shot was probably going in no matter if someone touched it or not.
Ill give you guys my amateur review of Keenan's performance.
First off Kanzig and Harmsworth looked good together as the second pairing. They were burned early on the first goal but I didn't really catch how the play developed and I am not sure who was out of position but it ended up being a two on one goal.
The rest of the night they looked solid and it's what the Hitmen needed. Earlier in the year French would break up the top pairing Sanheim and Thomas to help carry other DMen which hurt them. But now they can have a legit top 4 so I doubt he will have to do that anymore or much more rarely.
Kanzig definitely has a presence on the ice and his skating wasn't *all* that terrible. He seemed to be in good defensive position most of the time. He intimated a few guys in scrums and didn't take it too far other than 1 penalty at the end of the second. I thought he was pretty composed in general though.
Anyway I was happy with his performance. He is a big (no pun intended) addition to the Hitmen D corp but I don't know if he will ever crack the Flames line up on a regular basis.
Also after watching some interviews he was very well spoken which I don't remember him being from the past.
