Gotta say, I wasn't unhappy with Gus' skating last night. The PP difference is going to be big.

I agree with his skating, I thought it was quite strong. His very first touch of the puck was a great hustle and clean and strong clearing out of the D zone.....something Brodie and Hamonic often bobble.
