Firkus was MY guy last year. Just ridiculous skill.
Him and Yager together is just deadly. I don't have a data point, just that it seems like they chew up the other lines more than Savoie's line so Savoie has been given the "shut down" assignment which is more like mitigation. They aren't going to stop 'em, just try to make it not be as bad. Rysavy I liked at the U20's, he fits in there too - his shot really pops and it seems like he does some of the dirty work to get the other two the puck.
I didn't realize that the 16-year old who scored the pair the other night is Sasha Lakovic's nephew. Or that he was one of the four MJ players suspended for the balance of the regular season for
something that they did on the road in Edmonton. At least the local police said it wasn't worth a criminal charge, but man, that was harsh so I wonder what the hell they did. It certainly dampens interest in the kid for 2025 until we know more.
