Gio had a great game tonight. Unquestionably one of his best of the year. TJ Brodie was better. I'll be disappointed if #7 is not an All-Star. I'll be baffled if he's not on Team Canada.

I really wonder how much alcohol impacted Ferland's development as a teenager. That kid has so much talent, it seems like every game he's figuring out a little more.

Bennett and Granlund were very good. Bennett's game down low has so much Crosby in it. Granlund had a couple dangerous chances - he should have one timed his look in the 3rd period.

Ramo has been very good lately. Do it again. He's starting to look like an NHL starter. Don't drop the ball. At this point, our playoff fate is entirely dependent on the health of #31, so if he gets us there I'm fine with a 2 year extension.

When he gets healthy, I want to see Frolik with Monahan and Gaudreau. They need someone to go get the puck for them.

Speaking of Monahan, he had his best game in a while. Shooting from everywhere, heavy shots, deceptive release. The team needs more of that from him.

I also saw a little glimpse of what Money will be when his zkating rounds into form. There's a more power in his stride to find, and he's on the verge of being almost impossible to handle one on one.

Great game all round. They ran Tampa's show for 56 minutes. Can't ask for much more.
