Around SBN: Will Rhymes 'Fine' After Being Hit By Pitch And Fainting

I thought that he's been very, very good. This is what happens with coaches, you admire talent and skill, and you see the potential for upside, you don't know how it's going to go and get there and when that skill is going to become the full player. Then a guy comes in who hadn't made your team and he's doing all of the little things a lot better than maybe some of the skill guys. And that's kind of what's happened here. He's been more respectable about his offense, he's chipped in a little bit there. He's not a big skill guy, he's not one of the ones you'd find on the list over here, but he doesn't miss his assignments, he's responsible defensively, he's chipped in a little bit on the offense, and suddenly you start saying when you're putting your lines together you say "Oh, maybe, maybe that's a guy that's gotta play".

Well before the start of the season many had pegged him in the 4th line role. He wasnt impressive in the TC and hence lost his job to others. However it is good to see him play well here.

Brule wasn’t impressive either. Brule was slotted because of the waiver mess and Potulny lost out on that.
