So, after game 1, what's everyone's opinion on Fowler? I was trying to pay attention to his strides, his speed, how aggressive he was playing...seemed a bit on the light side on defense (hanging back a bit further, like how he played that eventual goal by Larsson). And no, I don't mean light like he was super physical before...meaning maybe lighter than usual.
His speed and movement didn't look too hampered to me...hard to judge if he's not going full speed because it's not strategically sound vs his knee doesn't feel 100%. He did have one rush from the defensive to across the offensive blue line that gave me flashbacks to his injury, lol, and that makes me think he's feeling pretty good.
