Closer game than it should've been, absolutely horrific bounce on the Pete's tying goal and at that point I thought Kingston was destined to lose the game but holy did Uronen have other plans.

Ok I'm not sure how hot of a take this is but I think Uronen is their best overall player. Obviously Battaglia has the ridiculous hands but he sometimes tries too hard to make fancy plays and it ends up in turnovers.

The other thing I noticed with the Battaglia line tonight - they absolutely refused to use the D. There were at least two shifts where Battaglia/Hopkins had Pieniniemi wide open at the point and instead of passing took a weak shot towards the net.

The only other comment I have is that Bowen has an absolutely chicken$#!+ habit of throwing the puck at the other teams net after a goal scored that'll likely get him in trouble against some teams.

Was thinking this exact thing today. Battaglia is great but turns the puck over too much and doesn’t utilize his teammates enough. Also Uronen plays the grit game and can play defence.

They both seem visually frustrated. Mann should separate them and keep the Guindon line still with heyes Miedema and Guindon that was the best line tonight but Uronen best player

Would love to see Uronen McNamara and Battaglia and then Soto with Hopkins and pickell
