Not there though, so no idea who got the tallies.

Hanowski scored on Ramo and (I think) Glencross got the second goal on Brossoit. Berra got the shutout at the other end (but wasn't overly busy).
Ramo has a new mask paint job (looks like an angry skull) and Brossoit has bright red pads and blocker/trapper. Ortio really does play like Kipper Jr.
Glencross - Stajan - Stempniak was the only full-NHL line in the two games, and they were also by far the best line on the ice in both games.
The only kids that I noticed were the d-men, Sieloff, Wotherspoon, and Kanzig. Kanzig really is huge. He made Jackman look small.
The young forwards (Granlund, Monahan, Poirier, etc) had their moments, but didn't really catch my eye. It also didn't help that they were shooting at the far goal, so it's harder to watch the little things at that distance.
Ferland really impressed me on his team's second goal in the first game. O'Brien pinched from the point and Ferland dropped back to cover the point. The puck was passed back to him and he got a nice wrist shot towards the net that was tipped in.
Knight had a nice release on his goal, but otherwise didn't do much that I noticed.
Galiardi and Baertschi were on the same line in the second game (with Poirier most of the time), and there appeared to be some positional confusion where they both would go into the left wing position. I assume that's Galiardi having problems adjusting to being the centre.
There were a few times I noticed one of the d-men at the other end of the ice made a good-smart defensive play, watched to see who it was, and sure enough, #7.
