I wonder if there'll be a fight between the 2 Whitby boys, since over the next few years, they'll be fighting for the same job? Might as well start early.
From what I remember, Duncan Keith was terrible those first couple years - slight, constantly losing pucks and falling to the ice. I remember a Canuck sped by him scoring the winning goal while Keith wiped himself out at centre ice. It was only later on that he became a stud.
Zack MacEwen 17-18 stats - 66 games 10 goals 23 assists 33 points.
Lind won't be matching ZM's stats (although Zack was older last year than Lind is now).
My bad. Eyesight playing tricks on me. Earlier when I was watching it, it sure looked like a left-handed slapshot. Now it looks like a right-handed slapshot. Sort of like the crone or young girl with Victorian hat illusion.
Thanks, UH. One would have thought JD would be more battle ready since his dad was one of the better European corner/board players in his time in the NHL.
I see QH as a Torey Krug type, only with better skating. His shot can be improved via practice, time in the weight room and improving stick technology.
Aside: who was that 5'9" defenseman with the Leafs and Canada's WJC team with the wicked shot. Press guys were saying it was the stick technology.
Will he end up having a Scott Neidermayer-type career or a Paul Coffey-type career? Neidermayer would have had Coffey/Bourque numbers if he was anywhere but Jersey.
