zohorna gave the best presence in front of the net (/net driving) we've seen since last season
twice he crashed the net and was fishing for rebounds that were there
made some fearless plays behind and around the net
I was amazed at how he could fish pucks with his long reach and then maintain possession under pressure
he was extremely effective as the 4C, whereas the vets on that line to this point in the season were largely perimeter players despite being big guys that shouldn't get pushed around physically
I didn't realize how badly we needed that kind of energy and tenacity (and skill) there and how much it was missing before this game
