Power healthy and stronger

[dudacek]

Says he’s spent a lot of time in the weight room, and with the new strength coach.

Feels confident in his body and focused on being better defensively.

Unless he suddenly learns that he needs to be mean in his zone and not just lean on guys but impose himself, he could be Hercules and it wouldn't change much.

If this guy does not show he has an ounce of piss and vinegar in him this year, he is dead to me.

Power reaching a new level and getting 40+ points again, that would be great. If he was above even in his own end and then good to elite offensively in the offensive zone, he'd turn the tables because Buffalo could spend 50 minutes a night with 2 defense pairs that are nightmares. 

He better work hard and mean.

When did the Inkification of Liger occur?

I don't think of Lidström as "mean" - by way of example.

I'll settle for Power being heavy and physical in his own end.

I don't think there's much, if any, "mean" to tap into with him.

Lidstrom was an elite defensive and offensive player almost from moment he came into league. Would love Power to play the positionally genius way Nick did. He does not, and appears lost at times.
