That was a fun game to watch!
- They need a lot of polishing on the PP and PK, but that will come.
- Couldn't really find a way to contain Ovechkin, but I suppose he makes $9MM for a reason!
- Pleasantly surprised by David Jones, Ben Street, and Chris Butler.
- Thought Wideman/Russell were fantastic, as they have been through the preseason.
- Galiardi's penalty was 40 flavours of stupid, but he busted his hump to make up for it. I think Hartley made the right choice letting him redeem himself.
- Ramo got beat by that backhand deke 3 times including the shootout, but his game was pretty good otherwise. Nobody on earth could have stopped that perfect shot through traffic off the faceoff. That was a seriously good shot.
- The kids were so-so. Thought Monahan got worse as the game went on, and Swiss Jesus got better. They'll both get better. No lack of effort.
Overall I'm not too sad about the loss. There were some good things to take out of that game.
