That said, he has good positioning, can make good passes, and likely gives Bennett and Dube a bit of extra space out there, which they need. He’s likely a guy that will have a bigger impact as a series wears on — and I’ll give him the benefit of being a vocal leader and veteran presence in the room.
Bonus points for the fact that when he scores, I think that’s as demoralizing as it gets for the other team  |
He definitely has issues, but I think he’s been the glue of that line this playoffs.
The crafty passes he made with his 2 assists had me impressed. He probably should’ve had 2 goals today as well. He’s definitely not the black hole that James Neal was. I think against even heavier teams, he’ll be even more important.
