| Organizational Comments: |
What GRC says: 2008-09: Galvin improved slightly in the second half, but seemed unable to regain last year's form. The usually solid defender was guilty of turning the puck over, and had problems in his own end. Part of this can be attributed to the adventure of playing with Kindl as his season deteriorated. Tom's contract is up, and it remains to be seen whether he will return.
2007-08: This season's feel good story, Galvin earned a two-year contract with his strong, steady defensive play in the first half. His second half fell off a little, but he still led the team's blueliners with a plus 10 defensive rating. A smaller stay at home defenseman, Galvin is positionally sound and makes a good first pass out of the zone.
2006-07: Perhaps the surprise of the first half, Galvin quieted down in the second and found himself fighting for playing time. A solid, mobile blueliner, Tom made the playoff roster, but was too far down the depth chart to get into a game.
Fall 2006: A teammate of Brett Lebda's at Notre Dame, Galvin turned a strong camp into an opportunity to play at the AHL level. A small, speedy offensive defenseman, He should get a chance to show he belongs; much like Nick Martens last season. |
