Varello is no secret he was a highly touted recruit who held his own and excelled on Long Island! He's a good size for a face off guy and has raw strength, I've noticed successful face off men around the league are pretty much the same size mid height stocky build with strong arms and legs! It's becoming the same as miniature attackman with great skills and quickness!
Great to see Varello see extensive mins and will get him the experience he needs for the future, for some reason the team doesn't look quite there this year but are still finding their way with new players, transfers and injuries.
Our coaching staff have been very successful in making adjustments to maximise improvement throughout the season! It has been a trend in the last few years that the team that wins it all doesn't start the season well but finishes it as the best, maybe just maybe!!! There is always a hope.
On the flip side we have the basis of a very strong young team that is going to be hard to stop in 2 years time in my opinion!
