I expect them to come out with a bit more energy for the 2nd period. They need to outwork the Canucks, but they haven't come close to matching them there.
Pelletier I thought looked better.
Duehr has also looked better than in the past few games.
Honzek continues to shine in my eyes.
Parekh has moved so much from his first Penticton game. Looks good out there.
I expect more from Poirier. Terrible start to the game, and I felt he was too passive on that last play leading to the goal. Coronato lost his man, but I would like to see Poirier do a better job of challenging the puck more, and making sure that the pass doesn't make it through. I have liked his skating, however. Hopefully it is just a bit of nerves or rust.
