Definitely have to be excited about Gaudreau. He belongs on the team. Consistently produces chances.
I wish Sven would try to do more out there. I'm worried that they have coached the creativity out of him a bit. There are going to be other guys better at making safe plays and backchecking, he needs to be a threat. Maybe some more time in the AHL will give him a chance to be a top line guy and get that offense back.
Setoguchi should not make the opening roster. He just doesn't accomplish anything out there. He looks like a guy who lost his confidence and without it he's not doing much. I'd much rather they give the spot to Jooris and see if he can keep this going.
Russell was really good. Wideman had a pretty good game too. If he plays like that, he helps the team.
I really like Ramo's game. He got lucky on a couple today, but made some great saves and looked very stable.
Monahan is getting better and better and he looks like he's gaining the confidence that he doesn't have to take crap from anyone.
Really having fun watching this team (other than the 2nd period.... that was terrible).
