Noah Popa

Big, strong forward who brought plenty of energy and intensity to this game. Played with an edge, throwing some heavy hits and getting under the opposition's skin with his physical play. Doesn't possess a high-end skill set, but understands his role and was effective when keeping his game simple and playing to his strengths. Was rewarded for going to the net, picking up a goal from in tight. A strong showing built around physicality, compete and a willingness to do the dirty work.
