EVENT John Reid Memorial Tournament
The longer I watch Boris play, the more I see how effective his puck control and decision making is in tight spots. He loves to pull the puck to his backhand, brace himself for the physicality of a defender, and try to pull to the inside around them in tight spots. He did that numerous times against different opponents which led to short side opportunities or the ability to backhand pass into the slot. He grabbed an assist off one play. His confidence and puck control along the edges is quite nice which means cuts to his backhand, delay plays, and cycling to the point. I think the biggest thing to improve on is simply the pacing of his motions since he doesn’t have that explosiveness that necessarily dominates possession and has to lean on his puck control tricks to create space. Overall, fantastic weekend for him.
