Foligno is just doing Foligno things.  Nothing new here.

It's concerning that Trenin looks like a less effective version of Foligno thru 4 games.  Unable to make hockey plays and too slow to play an effective physical game.

I think they have played better with Khusnutdinov on their line.  They seem more focused on defensively sound play and letting a faster player doing what rare offense they get.  

I think Hynes is valuing the speed Khusnutdinov and Lauko bring on the PK.  The problem is for what they bring, the PK is still ranked pretty putrid (29th I think).

Foligno and Trenin are doing the little things that work and aren't fucking anything up.  I'll take that over the complete incapability of doing...ANYTHING that some of our depth has last year.

For how much they are paid I think it’s slow. I thought we brought Trenin on the team for more of an enforcer role. I would like to see him and Foligno fight more. I thought Foligno’s fights have been pretty entertaining, especially that Superman punch one.

If Foligno and Trenin don't let pucks in the net all that often and hit people, I'd rather they not fight people.  Fights can lead to injuries (Dumba) and the team doesn't need that.

Frustrate opponents in other ways and focus on winning
