Well, you might have read a previous blog of mine where I wrote about the return of Dubie. Well, like many other bloggers and reporters, that blog was written prematurely as Dubie was plucked off the waiver wire by the Columbus Blue Jackets.
Well, no matter. Yann Danis has picked up his 3rd victory tonight of the season. He played a solid game and, in my opinion, has showed improvements in each of the 3 games. (Specifically holding onto rebounds).
Does the play of Danis make decisions anymore difficult to decide who should be Rick Dipietro's back up next season? I think Yann Danis would benefit from another season in Bridgeport. He needs to specifically continue to work on his rebound control. Even though playing better, tonight I can think of 2 specific times that he left rebounds out there that shouldn't have been:
1. Was while the Islanders were on a penalty kill. The penalty killers were gassed and instead of catching a puck, he dropped it accidentally and that allowed the Panthers to continue pressuring
2. The second instance actually turned out to not be such a big deal because of a quick whistle. the puck landed on the floor on the side of the net and had the whistle not blown who knows what would've happened
The good news is that with Danis playing a few games at the NHL level, he gets some more experience and we get to see how good he actually is.
