little update on our friends who are in Boston right now:
Petr Prucha is wearing 16 for the Coyotes while Dawes is wearing 14, number 45 remains intact.
Dawes and Prucha are both on the 3rd line while Kalinin actually is leading the entire team in minutes played.
Prucha is -1, no stats for any one else.
To follow up on my previous post:
I watched the highlights from the coyotes game, and all three of the former rangers looked cool and calm, especially Kalinin, who was actually 3rd on their team in minutes played. He looked a lot like a 14 year old playing with 10 year olds if that makes sense. Prucha played with some fire and set up a great play to Doan which missed wide, Dawes got an assist on the 2nd goal and looked calm doing so.
It would appear all three rangers were somewhat nervous in their time here, I feel particularly sad Dawes had to go, but good luck to him in the desert.
Thanks for the updates Evan. I saw Dawes' assist on the highlights. Pretty sweet.
