Watched Ben Danford Last Night
My stream wasn’t great, only really caught 3 shifts where I noticed him. Curious what others saw.
One shift- really great patience under forecheck pressure waited till they closed on him and made a great outlet pass to escape it to his other d-man with extra time and space as the forecheck closed on him
Another shift- completely misread opponent break out and got burned really badly after missing the check giving up a 2 on 1
Other shift- made some great break out passes
Part of a shift- really only saw him on the ice for Rifai goal but that’s a +1. don’t think he did anything but come on the ice.
His calm under pressure seemed really great (almost too calm on the time he got burned), crisp passes and seems to be a really fluid skater
Overall- Ben Danford = Cale Makar 2.0 aka start planning the parade we got a Future Norris Winning D-Man lol (sarcasm) but really hope he’s good and builds of this
