Alex Vlasic just loves watching what Boston University defense partner David Farrance does with the puck.

Vlasic sits back in awe as Farrance maneuvers with it, decides when to pass it, shoot it and sometimes even basically says, forget you all, I’m going to take this puck myself.

Vlasic has picked up pointers from the way Farrance plays. It’s definitely benefited him to be alongside Farrance at BU the past two years. At the same time, Vlasic knows his limitations.

“I played with Jack Hughes, I played with a lot of guys, and I think David Farrance is in the top three with how confident he is with the puck,” Vlasic said. “He won’t pass it if he thinks he can do something better with the puck. That’s cool to see and learn from it and take that into my game. Obviously, I don’t think I have quite the ability as him.

It pays off for sure.”  MORE…
