Johncock to miss first month due to knee injury, but gets second game

SAN FRANCISCO — At right wing, it’s Tyler Toffoli, and at center, it’s Andre Ethier, the young core still developing under coach Marco Bernier. But how will they fit in with the rest of the lineup?
„I think it’s definitely going to be more of a pairing, more of a pair up front,” said the 26-year-old Toffoli, whose team has won a few games in each of the past three games. „There’s obviously going to be a bunch of guys going to see a fair amount of minutes here and there.”
For a small-ish sample of the roster, that might not be as interesting.
But because the Canucks, still without their top goal scorer (Chris Higgins) and the absence of its third offensive defenseman (Alex Edler), remain relatively young, there’s little they can do now until they can find someone better with whom to play.
Toffoli did not hesitate to take notice of the shift away from Matt Beleskey. After being given a three-game NHL assignment on Monday, Toffo카지노 사이트li signed with the San Jose Sharks on Thursday and will be available on Sunday when the NHL club’s schedule is announced. He’ll likely be added to an offensive pair with rookie center Justin Abdelkader (3 G, 11 A) and fellow rookie winger Alex Biega (2 G, 9 A).
„I can definitely play in both leagues,” Toffoli said. „I’m ready to be a part of it and help our team win. This is a good time for me to be doing what I’m good at.”
If Toffoli and Biega succeed, expect the San Jose Sharks to give him more바카라 responsibilities. He said he thinks he can still be a leader if he can be more consistent.
„That’s probably where I’m most comfortable in my game right now,” he sai카지노 사이트d. „When I’m not playing well, I feel that it’s the responsibility to try to help the team out.”
Of course, there is an obvious flaw. After seeing the Canucks close out the season in the first round of the playoffs, Toffoli did not want to take anything for granted. With a big group to play with on the way, even a good start would have been a steal.
So he’s got to win the trust of Bernie
