Thought he played very well last night. His coach said during an interview that there was an emphasis on simplifying the game for the newcomers and he wanted to see a lot of N-S ... which in fact happened. The NBC commentators were suitably impressed and made the point that he had 900 NHL games under his belt and was unlikely to be intimidated. But gosh, it sure was fun seeing him in prime time after SO many years of toiling in obscurity.
Also of interest was the fact noted by Emerick that UMass-Llowell had 3 alumni playing last night for the Pens. Wow!
Guessing that Bolton and all the ECHO towns are on the verge of getting a serious case of Stanley Cup fever. It may not be the Black and Gold team we are used to, but that is not gonna matter.
