London Knights said:Yeah, they will not have control of the puck sometimes, but when the majority of that time is when the goalie is fishing the puck out of the net, who cares.
I find it quite funny how people drool over Brent Sutter and completely ignore who the coach is in London. A guy some of you might know who goes by the name Dale....Dale Hunter. The same Dale Hunter who had the guts to bench Rob Schremp during the critical playoff series against Guelph last year because he didn't play defense. I am not going to say that Perry is a defensive stud, but the guy isn't allowed to completely float in London, and he won't float at the WHC.
Perry is great at controlling the puck and making solid, and highly creative, passes. That is going to fit well on the line as all three players are top level offensive talents.
Never underestimate the effect of having weapons on the ice and how a team plays based on that. Teams are less likely to be agressive offensively with that line on the ice because one bad pass and you are watching an odd man rush that 85% of the time will result in a goal.
Get ready to sit back and enjoy something special. If this line clicks and stays together there is a very real chance you see these guys 1-2-3 in the scoring charts at the end of the tournament.
Great post,my thoughts exactly. People must also realize that Perry was a plus 30 for the Knights, second on the team only to Syrvet. Can't wait to see this line pick apart the defenses it will face. Give the line one game together to prove themselves and I don't think we are going to see them being broken up anytime soon.
