Great effort tonight and always fun to get a win. I am quite concerned over Hudler and Gios play lately.

Gio is not making any quick decisions. He is holding the puck too long, carrying it too long doing everything too long. To me it looks like he is over thinking everything. I would love to see him make a decision and execute immediately rather that the extended pause, hold, hold, skate, hold, think, and sh*t the bed that we have been seeing from him lately. I would prefer that he made a quick move with the puck and make a mistake rather than kill 10 seconds while still making the wrong play. Most of what made our D effective last year was quick decisions and great outlet passes. This year they all think it is a damn chess game. Watching Schlemko's performance tonight made it obvious to me what our guys are doing wrong.

Hamilton looks to have turned a corner. Really like his game tonight and hope this is a step in the direction that all of us hope he will go.

Ferland is looking quick and determined out there, I can see that line cashing in soon.

David Jones can be such a good player when he is skating hard and on his game. Glad to see him show up lately and help us work through this slump.

Sam Bennett, what can you say about this kid except for he so tenacious that he will not be denied. I am excited to watch this kid for years to come.
