Mrs. Random and I were at the game today. Taco Jr. looked very impressive, and I noticed the coaching staff trusted him with some key defensive-zone faceoffs. Good game at both ends of the ice.
But I don't know about that kid. It took him more than half a period to get off the schneid, and the game was half over by the time he got up to a PPG for his entire AHL career to date. Has he always been such a slow starter?

He didn't even drop the gloves for the Gordie Howe hat trick. Smh

A born-and-raised Calgarian who had captained the NCAA powerhouse while playing on the power play, penalty kill and serving as the Pioneers’ first-line centre? Yeah, that sort of sounds like a potential X-Factor, doesn’t it?

“He’s going to gain the coach’s trust with his consistency and trustworthiness on the ice,” said Carle, whose name has consistently come up during NHL head coaching searches over the past few years. “That’ll be how he gets his foot in the door and then his offence will continue to grow at that level, as well.”
