I was at the Wranglers game tonight, fun game with a solid comeback by the guys.
Hunt-Kerins-Pelletier were a very good line and scored the massive tying goal on a tic-tac-toe passing play. Pelletier's passing in particular was perfect on that play. In fact, I thought Pelletier was the best player on the ice. Played with a ton of speed and confidence, tenacious on pucks and he has very slick hands.
Morton, Duehr, Hunt, and Kerins were good up front as well. I didn't love Bishop's game but he scored the game winner by battling for a rebound and also crushed a guy with a clean hit so he made an impact.
On the back end I was most impressed with Kuznetsov. Big, strong, skates well, defended really well, scored a goal and was making smart passes throughout.
Brzustewicz was good too although he got caught defensively a few times. This is going to be a big development year for him in that aspect and it seems like he's already made a lot of progress.
Solovyov has a solid game and Poirier was most good as well.
Ignatjew was really good. After giving up two he really shut the door and gave his team a great chance to battle back.
Stromgren was a bit disappointing but he got clipped with a hard shot and had to leave the ice and then he got cheapshotted so I think it was just a painful and rough outing for him.
