damn shame the media coverage of this team is so awful that there has not been one write up/analysis of the developments from dev camp
Molendyk looked good. He laid out Stiga at one point when the puck got caught in his skates and he caught him looking down. Rung his bell and he missed a few minutes shaking it off. He was on gold team which offensively didn't have as much consistent pressure, and he seemed to be carrying the puck well with nowhere to take it once he got the zone.
The new kid Gibson looked good. He was paired with Molendyk which seemed like a really nice complimentary pair.
I know I mentioned this already, but Surin had as strong of a debut at camp as I can recall. He's physical, and just played at a different pace than everyone else. Things tend to get choppy and sloppy in these games but when he was on the ice it was almost immediate possession with a very calm presence. Gibson put him on his ass at one point and Surin immediately started laughing like he'd been waiting for somebody to rough him up.
Wood has a wicked shot...but he's still rarely able to get it off because of his skating and his first touch is so awful. Really hope he can make strides in his skating. He reminds me of watching Phil Myers skate at this point.
Stiga does too much at this point, but he gives me Evangelista vibes.
