Marleau's always been an agonizingly-streaky player, so I guess it's fortunate for San Jose that he's on the good side of it to start a short season.
Ilya Kovalchuk is getting ridiculous amounts of ice time for Jersey, and looks dangerous a lot of the time. But only a modest point total so far (5 in 5 games, 2 goals).
Of the little B's hockey I've watched, Nathan Horton seems to be scoring big goals at big times of games so far. 3 goals in 6.
Our own Curtis Glencross with 3 in 4 games is notable. I know our rival fans would love to tell us that his shooting percentage was a fluke and he'll never sniff 30 let alone 20 again, but could he be the real deal? Can we pencil him in for 25+ annually?

Lets not forget Stempniak also with 3g and 5 points in 4 games. We know he can be streaky but can he maintain? Hope hes as confident as when he scored something like 15 goals in 18 games to finish the season when he was traded to Phoenix.
As well, who would of thought Tanguay would be shooting. This has to be the first time hes got as many goals (2) as assists. Seems to be trying to impress his lover (Hartley) and hey if that's what he will be producing than I'm not going to judge.
