Perhaps the fifth or sixth game so far out of 28 that Janko's been kinda good this year and he was very good tonight. That was a great sequence from all 4th line members there. Janko with the shot block & interception and lob pass, Rieder with the wheels and great pass, and old Fro with the finish.
It's play like THAT that Janko will need to keep showing to ensure any future of sticking in the lineup for the rest of this year when Bennett & Czarnik get back.
Forget any excuses about mostly bad luck and/or teammates as to why Janko's been a huge nothing burger until now. That's a no good argument as it takes the onus off the player when he's sucking and it also cheapens him when he makes an actually good play. Those plays that Janko made were all skill and no luck.
