In spite of a suboptimal showing in his fourth preseason game on Saturday, Rodrigo Abols’s stock is holding steady.
After what’s been, on the whole, a very successful preseason for Rodrigo Abols, last night’s matchup saw him hit a bump in the road, in his fourth start in seven days.
Something in the configuration of his line — having him moved over to the wing to play alongside Jacob Gaucher and Garnet Hathaway, at least to start — wasn’t really working last night, and it was evident pretty much from the jump, with one particularly rough shift which saw them hemmed in and getting cycled on, looking helpless while no one seemed to be able to step up to make a play to break them out of the zone.
