Nelli -impressed..Been keeping an eye on his play since he got here ..I like the kid - good skater - great hustle and looks fundamentally sound ..
I think we are under utilizing him.. I’ve seen him want to jump in the Zone and contribute .. then he realizes and does a u turn and heads back to the blue line like a scalded dog... looks like he was used to pushing up perhaps in LDN but probably was shuffled back in their lineup due to them being loaded this year .. we traded for him - USE HIM!!set the kid up kind of like a D Raddysh and let’s get more use and points out of him .. God knows we need it ..
Positives from the game were we hung w the Soo for basically 2 periods .. needed a goal that first period and didn’t get it - maybe hit the post a few times..the 3rd goal was garbage and bounced off the boards I think and off Murphy and in the net for 3-1.. then of course coach thought we had Strome - Cerelli and DeBrincat in the lineup and could score 2 goals in 59 seconds and pulled Murphy for a 4-1 final score..
I was sitting right in from of the goal on the weird bounce. It literally hit off the boards and trickled in. Like i'm not kidding it hit the boards, rolled towards the post and rolled over into the net. Murphy moved his skate slightly, unaware the puck was there and pushed it over the line.
