Has anybody here been able to see or hear these playoff games? I wanted to know specifically your impressions of Caputi so far in his AHL career. Stats can only tell so much.

i went to the game tonight and i was pretty pleased with the way he played. he didnt play cautious or reserved, skating wise. his puck possession needs some work, imo (and, again, i've only been to one wb/s game this season and watched videos online so take it fwiw). he seems a bit indecisive/unsure of what to do with the puck and his positioning in the defensive end is a little iffy.

he's not afraid of anyone on the AHL level which is great considering his size (the program lists him as 6'3'', 185). With 15 lbs and some strength/conditioning, Luca could be a great asset for the daddy pens.
