I think he tries to be the Brad Marchand of the Midwest. It’s too bad, the kid does have some skill. Last year he was on a tear. Hard to help from the box and his numbers show it. Looked on EP and he has 1 goal.
Deep in the heart of a abandoned Cold War missile silo, our hero goes to work. With the clock ticking, and fingers flying across the keyboard, can he do it?!
I don’t think that is the case. I think they are reactive to the team they are playing. If they get an inch, they take a mile. Otherwise they need to ‘find it deep within’ to get rolling. That speaks to leadership. Not everyone rolls over like Miami. Even CC makes it a game because they will themselves to fight. And teams react differently so it’s not team ‘A’ or ‘B’, it’s who showed up that night.
