So, Ebbett now has 2 assists. Rust has a goal and obviously is a better player than Sill. And Farnham is bringing what Sill was supposed to. Energy.

Anyone is better on a fourth line than Sill. I hope we don't keep wasting a spot with him...

Solid game after the 1st period. Flower pretty much had to stand on his head in the first and on a few breakdowns later in the game as well. But that happens when your team is 1/2 AHL.

I really enjoyed the work done against Stamkos tho. He was just rendered irrelevant. It was beautiful.

Farnham is like a more bumhole version of Joe Vitale. If he had a little skill I'd like him more, but as a fourth line energy guy, I like him better than guys like Sill or Glass (I know, low bar).

Like Vitale though, I'm wondering if he can keep his motor running like it is now for long. Vitale always had a couple great games after being sat, then disappeared.

Cocaine, that is all he needs to sustain that energy that he had last night.

haha No but seriously he was flying all over the place but as you said the skill doesn't seem to be there. 4th liner for sure!

Yes he def can and will keep that motor running. He has built a very loyal fan base in WBS. He tends to put a lot of butts in seats which the team needs.

The kid is all heart to a fault. He won't back down from anyone, and I mean anyone even if he knows he doesn't stand a chance.

He can fight a little but not all too well. Everytime he steps on the ice you pretty much know he is there either from the other team getting annoyed or p.o.'d or from the fan reaction.

He has worked on his penalties a bit. The last couple of seasons he took a lot of bad penalties due to losing his temper, such as reactionary penalties and obviously as an instigator who already takes on a lot of penalty time the refs were always watching him which made it easier for him to get nailed with calls. This season that has slowed down quite a bit. He still gets called a lot but not like he was for hot headed nonsense.

Believe it or not he does have hockey smarts. I was surprised to find out he is a Brown University Alum so he is smart. He has good play making vision, knows how to read the other team. Knows where to place himself etc. He is just a little short on natural talent. As long as he keeps his temper in check he can be pretty productive for his roll and will def. provide energy, draw penalties, stir things up, get under some skin, and go to battle.
