There are tons of players in the past and present that have turned there game around when given a change of scenery.

Especially when highly ranked players are being dressed in blue and orange. And it's not for the better... but I guess I didn't have to clarify that. :bag:

He's f'n fast. Now let's see him finish. Maybe another Schrempie surprise.

Impressive speed. I think he's pressing a bit and shooting a little early. He should settle in and net some, IMO. With that kind of speed he's gonna get chances. Strikes me as one of those guys that needs a few to go in off somebody's butt or whatever, then he'll be more confident. Kinda like Comeau...

Each game, Grabner looks more comfortable in the system. There were a few times i really noticed that he used his speed to backcheck and it was impressive. I really like this kid and think he will turn out to be a great pick up by Snow.

I didn't like him against the Pens. He had a number of turnovers in the neutral zone. Last night looked really good. He actually forced a turnover on the forecheck that should have easily been cleared out of the avs zone, just by getting getting there fast.

There was more physical play against the Pens, last night was pond hockey, only 6 hits for each team. This is one of the areas that he was criticized in. Schremp had the same knocks on him and used his shot to his advantage. This kid has to be given a long look and a chance. It's up to him. I thin patience with him will pay off. When you see a kid try to go through guys with skill moves and use his speed to get open, you have to kep encouraging it and work through some of the defensive deficiencies and lack of physical play. You can always work with them on defense. Cannot teach the skill.
