Now the big one, was very pleased with Doan he certainly didn't look overawed and was getting involved over all the ice. 2 goals on his debut was just fun to watch and his Mum and Dad were ecstatic. Loved it.
The big thing I noticed about Doan is that wherever there was a right place to be to play the puck, there he'd be. I noticed this because so damned few of our players have that gift and I've gotten used to guys chasing pucks, chasing the play, overcorrecting or stretching to make up for being out of position over the years. It was just startling - and refreshing - to see a guy with next-level hockey sense and anticipation playing the game with our crest on his sweater.
