‘Power showed confidence in his defending and the poise he had with the puck, especially on breakouts. Power improved quite a bit for the Sabres after Jan. 1, but what I saw in this tournament was even better. Power gets crucified by a faction of Sabres fans because he’s big and doesn’t hit like Jacob Trouba. The fact is the 21-year-old wasn’t drafted first overall to hit. He was drafted to play like he did in the second half of the season and with Canada this past month. His coaches trusted him with Canada and it put him on the ice where he thrived in the most important situations.’
