I also reached out to one of our guys, Jody Shelley.

Great leader.

They love him.

He's one of the best guys in the league, extremely well-liked.

I said to Jody Shelley, I go, any nuggets tonight, anything to look for?

He goes, Biz, Marchenko battles to get pucks back.

Team toughness in front of our own net has improved.

Gabranson has a good impact on that, who I think he scored the goal off that one faceoff by Coyle.

P.P.

Wierenski is one of the best at chances below the circle, and they were actually rolling his highlights

I mentioned when I was in Arizona, they would put Chikrin on the power play in the bumper position, which is essentially a forward position.

Yeah, because of how lethal his shot is.

If you watch a lot of the power play goals, Wierenski scores them with snapshots, wristers from below the top of the circle.

So if he gets a look, and even if the goalie could see it clean, he doesn't telegraph it.

He can pick and fucking beat goalies clean.

That's how good a shot it is.

And that's why he's, I believe, in the league lead for goals by a defenseman, if not tied with Jacob Chikrin.

So a lot of similarities there, and that's why I mentioned him.

It is.

And then let me finish this.
