Put me in the camp that thinks Ferland has been playing well, although the points aren't there.

I watch the little things he does every game and I believe the guy has some high hockey IQ, natural ability, thinks the game at high speed, plus has some great hands. He always uses his feet to kick the puck up to his stick, quick reactions to situations and his hockey mind is crafty. I think he is highly skilled, much more than most people believe he is at this point in his career.

One of my favorite Ferkland moments from last night was Bennett getting in and putting a little hit on a Sharks d man as Jones covered the puck, right as the whistle went. Ferland skated right up to Bennett and stood in front of him as a Shark was coming at Sam. The Shark just turned off while Ferland gave him the stare down.

Seriously watch him closely every shift next game. He does so many of the little things right, I'm really surprised people are being harsh towards his game.

I have the feeling he will start putting the puck in the net and his line mates will start burying his set ups and the critics of his game will quickly come around.
