I think this guy is great! Noticeable on the ice, versatile and a great attitude.
Hope he makes the Team…really like his approach!
Class. Pure class?
He’ll be here
With the Oiler's cap situation what it is, it looks like either Ryan or Janmark will need to be waived and assigned to BAK for opening night. They've both played good during the pre-season. It's a shame one will have to go down even with a 21 man roster, but it's a good problem to have I guess.
Couple things for you to work on Derek:
1) Zig-zag crossovers for acceleration = more deceptive & quicker acceleration
2) When you're turning, stay in your crossovers. Don't break into straight-line skating. You lose power. Pick a line where you can keep crossing
3) Off-ice stickhandling at least 30min everyday.
4) Gym, don't worry about HEAVY squats/deads. Recovery is too long. Do a variety circuit-type stuff (lunges, step-ups, upperbody, flexibility.. high volume) and do it everyday. Athleticism & strength will be through the roof
Yeee
