I also went to the Heat Roadrunner game on Friday. A few observations and my read on things. Very excited sell out crowd. Lots of fun, very noisy reasonably knowledgeable crowd. Jankowski looked very good. Plays big and willing to go into dirty areas. When on ice he is noticeable every time and plus with skill too. Hathaway and Vey stood out and seemed to both want the puck. Klimchuk looked like he has progressed a lot. Nice goal and skating skills have improved. Has some finish. Would not be surprised to see him get an injury call up. Poirier had one scoring chance but I was not impressed. Shinkaruk was not all that noticeable. Bollig will not be back in the NHL. Defence was not great. Anderrson and Kilington were the best two. Wotherspoon did not look NHL ready even now. Apologize for name spelling mistakes.
