The best part of the first two weeks has been Di Iorio/Edwards both looking like natural centres. Both support very well in the d-zone. As you said yesterday Di Iorio especially has made a number of good defensive plays thru the first five games.
Awesome to see Edwards get the rookie of the week. I was looking yesterday and he's only the fourth true rookie (16 year old) in Sting history to score four goals in the first four games of the season. Eric Himelfarb (99-00), Steven Stamkos (06-07), and Alex Galchenyuk (10-11) were the only other ones to do it. Pretty good company if you ask me. Can't remember the last time I was this excited about a future 1-2 punch down the middle
I was wondering myself about 4G first 5 games. Thanks for that info. What company to be in! U know Letang is giddy about those 2 being the top Cs when they are 18-19 lol.
Yah you'd have to go back awhile. Especially as homegrown Cs and not a trade deadline addition. Very exciting.
I've also been super happy with Kostuch. I figured he'd start really slow after having mono and missing all of camp. He's flying out there. He's throwing the body a lot too.
Wainwright scored OT winner game 1, wasnt credited for it.(doucette got it)
Wainwright scored goal again in flint but was called back. I think he will be fine as will Di iorio and Brown who yet to bulge netting. When they do flood gates will open.
PP needs to score at near 20% if not we need to change alot starting with D on it.
Barr played preseason and has yet to quarterback pp.
Need net front presence!! Without we are in effective
Yah I've watched the replay for that OT winner 10 times and I don't understand why Wainwright never got credit. Very clear he jammed it in. Hell if the PP could just be 18% (still bad) it'll be big lol.
I'm hoping they r just taking it slow with Barr after he missed the 2nd half and had an injury then mono. But I think they are just being stupid about it.
