I don’t think his skills really translate as a forward either. Average speed, below average shot. I mean it doesn’t seem to translate into a defenseman either. Quite frankly, I’m not sure he’s an NHL caliber player.
So anyone care to discuss why Val James couldn’t be in person today? Maybe he has to work or something? I just don’t know how you have this game without him there in person. Or is it worse than that?
Girgs interview pregame gave me chills. He’s clearly a leader and takes several pride in donning the blue and gold. I can see why the Pegulas paid him over market. Kinda guy you need on the team. Maybe Captain Material but if he’s a 3rd 4th liner can that really work.
