I take part responsibility.... Blowfish and I shared a beer at a Guelph Storm game and Matty P. was cheating towards the blue line all game while in the defensive zone ...I pointed that out ... it stuck ... I'm a grade A influencer.....specifically when beer is involved
Watching Matty P as a Bruin (against seasoned professionals much older than him) as opposed to a Guelph Storm (against kids...I think he got bored and was experimenting his last season) converted me ...kid has uber high compete level (no quit), super active stick with defensive acumen , lack of fear of going into corners (maybe not a good thing for someone his size last year), and creative capabilities with #2C upside ...all things I'm sure you saw when scouting him for prolonged periods...hence why I'm not a scout but instead a beer drinking influencer ....Go Matty P!! (Go Merkulov as well...I want him to have a prolonged shot to see if he can elevate)
