Chytil looked so back last night. Best player on the ice. He was not ready to miss virtually a full season and then jump into the intensity of playoff hockey, but this could be a great season for him. Had 1+1 (both primary). The goal was epic because he got his legs tripped with a dirty play, was visibly upset and mixing it up with the Bruins players, and then on the ensuing power play unleashes on them. Said he used the whole summer to work on his game because he already had rest during the regular season. Great attitude.
Chmelar also played, which is a good sign for how the organization views him. Plenty of the prospects don’t even make it into the preseason NHL games. He’ll play AHL this year.
