Bouchard was a tire fire in this one. I hope Klingberg has a lot left in the tank and shows the squad what a legit #1 Dman looks like. Bouchard should have been benched a few times for his play.
Need something from Nuge eventually as well, sometime this year...
Both Skinners were pretty abysmal as well. Stu's going to flirt with .900 for his yearly stat. Not good enough for a starting goaltender on a contending team. Makes me shudder to ponder what his stats would look like on a legitimately bad team.
It was a decent effort, but the push for offense is wildly anemic if 97 and 29, or lately 33, aren't driving it.

I gotta feeling the Klingberg + Ekholm pair will eventually evolve to be the 1st pair.. and Klinger might take over PP1 QB..

I foresee the opposite.
Klingberg may be a useful player. Tough know if he can be effective. At best I expect he can be able to move up and down the right side as needed but will mostly be 5-7th on the depth chart.
I also predict his defensive abilities will make Bouchard look like a shut a down D in comparison.

I'm just going by what he's been saying about his skating.. says he hasn't been this mobile and able to skate pain free for years.. plus been skating for 6 months.. he's always had elite puck IQ and skating .. guess we'll see how it plays out! :)
