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  |
I felt the same way. He has a lot of turnovers as well which could easily be mitigated by better decisions with the puck.
But he brings a lot more to the table, and clearly has pushed the Flames to be a tougher team to play against here in the playoffs.
