I mentioned in a recap last week that I really like our team, and I do. Whether it was assembled accidentally on purpose by POHO/GM Kyle Dubas or not, the end result is the same. He’s constructed a club that pretty much has all the elements you need: size, speed, spirit and skill.
In a word, balanced.
Although not an overly physical team by fighting/hitting standards, we’re “hockey tough.” Virtually everyone on the roster, including the stars, sticks his nose in and competes. Our gritty fourth line of Noel Acciari, Connor Dewar and Blake Lizotte, a prime example.
