Believe me, we need your stories on all the great kids that are coming in the future. That said, I want to say that Matt Strome is possibly the next James vanReimsdyk. He and JVR play a nearly identical game. They both use their size To get in front of the net to create havoc. Strome is tough as nails and when you look at his expression, even coming off of the ice, he can scare you. He just looks rough and tough and his big frame is definitely intimidating. I’ve watched him at the Flyer’s development camp the last two seasons and he scares me even though he’s on the other side of the glass! He’s got that nasty look for sure.

Ok, so Matt Strome is scary, but I also noticed he’s a great team guy. He is a practical joker and uses his straight face to be funny too. You can tell his teammates aren’t sure if he’s serious or just a practical joker.

Strome has some nice skills around the net. He can’t be moved and he has nice hands. His skating has always been suspect, but so is JVR’s speed. I believe Strome could be a fan favorite if he dropped his gloves once in awhile. He could be a handful in a scrum I’m sure. Anyway, Matt Strome is a very interesting prospect. Is he the “Missing Link?” We shall see in the next year or so.
