He's also a good guy to sit next to at the hockey games.Segment 1Which NHL match-up are you most excited for? Ottawa vs Carolina is intriguing.
Avs vs Kings will probably be non-competitive and un-watchable. Evaluating the offense:TJ Hughes - Hobey Baker level season. Jayden Perron - Dramatically exceeded expectations. Led the team offensively in the post-season. Nick Moldenhauer - Previously minimal production, huge breakout season.Michael Hage - High-end playmaker, season cut short due to injury. Malcolm Spence - Up-and-down freshman season, started hot. Adam Valentini - Limited in size but played a bigger role as the season progressed.Cole McKinney - Strong in faceoffs but underwhelming offensive production. Will Horcoff - Highly productive, highly streaky. Aidan Park - Depth freshman, lacked consistent impact.Kienan Draper - Praised for role mastery, leadership, and penalty-kill value.Josh Eernisse - Depth player who improved on offense and defense.Kason Muscutt - Exceeded expectation in limited minutes. Teddy Spitznagel - No meaningful playing time before leaving the program. Segment 2Evaluating the defense and goalies:Luca Fantilli - Unexpected breakout senior year. Became a reliable leader.Tyler Duke - High effort and physical despite his size. Took too many penalties.Ben Robertson - Dependable, steady presence on the blue line.Garrett Shifsky - Elevated his game late in the season, gets a special shout out.Drew Schock - Limited as a freshman, grew throughout the season.Dakoda Rheaume-Mullen - Inconsistent with turnovers.Asher Barnett - Excellent as a freshman.Everyone else didn't contribute enough to get a fair grade.Jack Ivankovic - Delivered high-level all season when not hurt.Steven Peck - Exceeded expectations as a backup.
