Surprising win for sure:
- I think Comeau is playing well but he just doesn't have the chemistry with Hudler and Sven. They really should have Cervenka,who I don't think has been very good, but at least thinks the game at the same wavelength with Sven and Hudler. Comeau should be on the 4th line and is very effective. I think he's just miscast and he's being unfairly hated by fans.
- Butler had a pretty strong game. A little shocked to see him end up with 2 assists and a plus 2. He might have some trade value afterall
- Bouwmeester has looked great when it comes to joining the rush, but his lack of strength in front of his own net is still frustrating. He should just avoid a battle of strength and just focus on keeping the opposition stick busy. He just can't win physical battles and shouldn't try. Use your stick and position. Lidstrom rarely ever overpowered the opposition with strength, he used his smarts.
- Brodie just continues to impress. At this rate, he's going to be the best defenceman on this team by the end of the year. Doing it at both ends of the ice and using his smarts and mobility.
- I always thought Stajan was better than what he has been the past few years. I still feel Brent just had it in for him because Darryl traded one of his favourites for him.
