Re: UMaine '18-'19: Back to the Nationals!
According to Larry, when they were reviwing the play, he won't be playing next game.
I agree with you on the streaky thing, I don't understand it either. In two of 3 games he got the number 1 star of the game. He is on the top line as a rookie in his first games as a Black Bear. I don't think you get to do that unless it is obvious you deserve it. He is a great power play weapon. But he has hands that can turn 5-on-5 seemingly benign and routine shot for most into a goal. A.K.A. he is a sniper. He also plays with emotion and plays physical. He is impressive. I am shocked he went undrafted. But I think teams must have not cared for his skating. But he has nhl hands/shot. If his skating improves the sky is the limit for him I believe. I realize it is only 2 games in... But it is kind of obvious to anyone. So no, I am not seeing streaky right now. If anything his play on first line and power play will allow him to contribute on the scoring sheet regularly.
