The League
Surprises
-islanders. Smyth and Kunitz really?
-minny getting it done with Schneider. Playing well above his 76 rating.
- la. Expected them to be good, but man they are stingy on d.

Disappointments
-Philly struggling early. I'm sure chief will deal his way out of it though
- Hawks. Really expected them to be stronger...lots of time left though

My Team
Surprises
-my 3rd line of Winnik-Ward-Smithson has been lights out.
-My PK has been amazing (1 goal against) while chipping in for 3 or 4 shorties
-Team discipline has been good. Bottom (or top) 10 in pim/g
-Keeping shots against down (top 5 in this cat)
-Vermette has sparked whatever line he plays on. only problem is he can only play on 1 line at a time...
-Dallas is near the tops of the league...expected to be better but not near the tops. I'll enjoy it while it lasts

Disappointments
-Jeff carter was soo good to me in the preseason but apparently just doesn't like the real games. Not brutal stats...but expecting a lot more from him
-Bertuzzi..play some defense will you.
-Yandle not really getting the pts i was looking for but maybe this will come around
-Power Play is brutal!
