The effort is definitely there, and that's all that you can ask of these kids right now. I LOVED Cronin's criticism of the offence after the Boston game. Where we sit at the Ponda, you can see shooting lanes develop during the play. Way too often Terry, Zegras, McTavish try to make one or two extra moves rather than taking the shot that's available to them! That's how Boston scored their 2 goals in the third, threw shots on the net, and got rebounds. Shoot the puck, boys!
The kids definitely look promising, though. For all of the hype on Zellweger, Mintyukov looks like the real deal. LaCombe looks future top 4, too. But man, Drysdale on IR worries me! I'm hoping he doesn't turn into another Joffrey Lupul or Ondrej Kase.
