I said Bouma, but Jooris was pretty shocking since he was so off my radar. Also Brodie's quantum leap.
Gio? I thought he was Norris calibre last year, and he just missed Team Canada.
Monahan? I had a feeling he'd carry on. A sophomore jinx would be too non-boring.
Johnny? He had a bit of hype. Did I think he'd be this good? No, but I was ready to be wrong.
Wideman is as first advertised, and I liked him OK his first year here. Glencross taking on the shutdown role? Hadn't really thought of it that way. Hiller has played like I exected. Hudler and Russell too.
