O'Quinn quick catchup

[David O'Quinn 115]

Right now, as Vancouver sits 3 pts out of 1st place in the VHL, with a diff that clearly separates the top 3 from Vancouver and those following, O'Quinn is relatively happy to be in Vancouver, especially considering how poorly the team he left - the New York Americans - is doing. On the individual scale, O'Quinn is having a rather decent season. He's not playing like a star - but no one expected him to. O'Quinn's stat line leaves him with 21 pts in 36 games, a modest 36 pims, 78 hits and 48 shots blocked. Though he's on pace for nowhere near as many blocked shots as he obtained in New York in his rookie year, O'Quinn has already eclipsed the point total he achieved in his rookie year with the Americans. Interestingly, O'Quinn also has more hits. Whether this has been encouragement from Vancouver coaching staff to play a more physical game - or just the evolution of O'Quinn as a player, is unknown. O'Quinn's production has majorly ramped up since he joined Vancouver, and hopefully this trend will continue, as well as his growth, which after some down weeks has been trending upwards.
