Nice ASSIST last night.
I'm hoping the line continues to produce and Newhook starts finishing some of the plays he's involved in maybe holding his stick too tight...

Im hoping he can finish the second half off going 10g-10a. That would give him a 17g and 30pts season. Not ideal given all the chances he got this season to produce, but it's still respectable production. 13g in 37 remaining games would give him a 20g year. That's my target for him.

I do not think he's played anywhere near as bad as his stat line has shown. He generates loads of chances, they just don't go in.

I would say it's hard to pick up apples when you are playing on a line where no one is scoring at ES, but he also didn't pick up apples riding shotgun with Cole and Nick (that is not to say he didnt generate chances, because he did).

GOAL WINNING GOAL FOR NEWHOOK

If it were allowed, Newhook would also have had the secondary assist. He'll just have to settle for the faceoff win.

Missed a few games of late but even if he wasn’t producing he was doing some damn good dirty work with his speed and tenacity.

Seems like he’s making less bad plays of late. If he cuts out the brain cramps and can stop killing plays on his stick he’d be a handy piece to have even if he doesn’t put together the offense that his tools should dictate.

But if he can put it all together there’s a damn fine player there.

Now I have next to no idea if he can do that consistently long term but he does seem to be improving of late.

Definitely rooting for him. His speed along with Anderson’s is handy to have.

I think people are not noticing the situation he's in and what he's been doing for Dach and now Laine on his line.

The fact that he has managed to score 8 times is a miracle.

Will be interesting to see who he has chemistry with in a bottom 6 role.

The following could be bottom six players in the not too distant future:

Newhook - Hage - Kapanen
Beck - Evans - Heineman/Roy
