Not much in the GDT tonight. From what Ive heard Holtby was our best player again. And heard Orlov and Kempny were a bit out to lunch. The player I'm most curious about is Bowey. I think he has played fairly well recently. I know he got extra minutes tonight. Can anyone tell me how he looked.

Rierden mentioned postgame, that Bowey’s been making a good case for himself to remain a starter. I’ve noticed a solid steady improvement with him the last couple weeks. I wasn’t as high on him last year. I saw in him very good potential, that was just a shade under ready, for an NHL shot.
I now think the wait has paid off, as his growth, confidence, and maturity, are improving nearly game by game. He is the top bright spot talk, right now, in the organization, IMO!
Obviously a low scoring game. BOB was damn near impenetrable tonite for the Jackets. Holtz played very good too. We had some great SOG chances that just didn’t hit the twine!

Bowey in the beginning of last year was so bad I thought he head zero potential. By the end of the year I thought he was playing pretty well and he could possibly stay in the NHL. This year I think he has been really solid and I’m hoping he continues to progress.
Maacoshark:
I agree that Bowey has been a bright spot. He was a bit slower at making the transition to the NHL than I thought. But it looks like he is getting there. I think he may have passed Djoos on the depth chart. With all of the prospect dmen we have Djoos might find himself out of the NHL.

Hey Beags.
I’m trying to remember where I was sat with Bowey, just before the playoffs last year. I just can’t recall. I probably put put him up on the shelf, somewhere early in the beginning of last year, when the team was in a more chaotic shape.
He’s definitely on the good radar screen now! Hope to see more of him!!
Hope you’re doin well!!
