Bruce Kerlock

He had three really good games.

Looked like an AHL player already.

Tommy LePrenier, you know, just turned 19.

So younger, a little bit, you know, a little bit less sure of,

where he should be, how he should play.

To be fair to him, he played a lot of center this year in Kamloops.

Here he was playing right wing, which he has played.

But, you know, as the game, as he got more and more shifts, looked a little more comfortable, his speed is noticeable for sure.

And his goal, he beat a goalie from distance at top of the circle, no screen with his wrist shot.

And that is one thing.

that I'm quite surprised about is how good his shot is and beating pro goalies from distance.

That's music.

So, I don't know that it's deployment, Bob.

Like, when I watch the games, I see, you know, he gets, you know, similar ice time to what he's had previously.

He gets yanked off the power play a little bit more than he did prior.

But it's just...

Hartley has this different way of coaching, and veteran offensive players get a lot of rope with him to make mistakes, and younger players, and he's not that young at 24, but it's hard to, they just don't get the,

He plays a robust game, but he's playing much more north-south and much more dump and chase, which in the big ice surface is a bit strange to me.

And I just feel like, yeah,
