Not claiming blazing speed, but more mobility than TJ Brodie is used to looking across the ice and seeing.

Good start for sure.

Any guy brought in as a 4/5 isn't going to dominate a game.
I recall that moment as well. Caught a little flat-footed, and I thought "uh-oh", but he made the pivot and made it back in position. Not blazing fast, but given the concerns of his game, I thought the Pred would blow by him. Not so.

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
