So glad we got Kinky today.
It's an entirely different team. Getting players back, in on the forecheck, shutting down the neutral zone, finishing checks, challenging the points... Now if only we could get the PP going. Usually I would expect Kinky to help that, but...
Also very exciting to see Chytil take a big step this year--looks far more composed and confident, showing some real flashes. I've been excited since we picked him, but it's nice to see it coming together. Same with Buchnevich--folks talking about trading him? HAH. He's got a killer shot that he showed a bit more in the Cherepovets days, and his defense has really improved over the years.
