Mike Sullivan a déclaré que le PO Joseph était à des années-lumière de ce qu’il était à la même époque l’année dernière. « Je pense qu’il est un peu plus rapide, simplement parce qu’il a une année de compétition dans la LNH à son actif. Et juste son niveau de confiance global, vous pouvez le voir dans son langage corporel lorsqu’il est là-bas. »

I definitely agree. I was one of his biggest critics the second half of last year. He really fell off a cliff with the workload he was given and was completely responsible for a not insignificant number of goals against in important situations.
So far he’s looked like the best Penguin on the ice. Obviously he has more experience than everyone else in these first couple games, but there seems to be a swagger there that was missing last year and his skating looks very improved.
I don’t doubt that he spent the summer making sure he would be ready for another 82+ game season after disappointing last spring.
He’s streets ahead.
Last year he was streets behind.
That encouraging to hear. Our defense may be, dare I say, ***good*** this year. At very least miles better at moving the puck.
« I’m still not goign to play him, though. » Sullivan followed up. « Fuck them kids. »
