Loved what he brought to the team.
-Good size and uses it
-Wins battles or relentless puck pursuit if he loses
-Pure shift disturber
-Solid two-way play
-Excellent work ethic
-Fearless in the "tough" areas, corners, boards, in front of the net
-Gets under opponents skin, draws penalties, creates a spark for the team.
Not the fastest guy but has some hockey IQ. I think he has more untapped offensive skill than we've seen at the NHL level.
Calgary 26 GP, 1 goal, 4 assists, 5 pts, 0+/- playing 9:08 average ice a game.
In Stockton: 31 GP, 8 goals, 12 assists, 20 pts, +22.
Added 2 goals and 2 assists for 4 points in 5 Heat playoff games.
Glad to have him back, hope he forces his way onto the team with his hard work and grit. I like watching that guy play.
