A few excerpts
“He’s playing with more confidence,” said Barons coach Todd Nelson. “He has the skill set. We all knew that he has the skill set. You can see the way he skates. He just explodes. He’s got a great shot. He moves the puck like a pro. And he’s just playing with more confidence.”
Petry seconded that notion.
“Yeah, for sure,” said the former Michigan State star, in his first full American Hockey League season. “I mean, I played a little bit in Springfield last year, but then we had the whole summer off. This has just been a learning process and just getting more comfortable.”
Petry nonchalanted the Manitoba Moose to sleep last Saturday. He took the puck behind the Barons’ net, skated the length of the ice and behind the enemy net, then fired in a wraparound goal past the goaltenders’ right side.
It was the Barons’ most spectacular goal of the year.
“They were going through a line change and I looked up and had some ice and our forwards stretched out to make them react to that,” Petry said. “That spread out the ice. I looked for somebody in front of the net but didn’t think I could get the puck through, so I circled around and just threw one on net and snuck one by the goalie.”
