I was there for the first two periods.
- Tkachuk is here to stay. Great on the forecheck and looks faster than Monahan so I don't think speed is an issue.
- Elliott looked solid, shook off the early goal which in no way was on him.
- Shinkaruk had some good flashes, I notice him making plays which gives me hope.
- Ferland was all over the puck, but he continues to be poor at passing. Needs to work on his accuracy.
- Bouma looked better than any point last season and the hit/fight was icing on the cake.
- Chiasson was decently noticeable out there. He'll get some more looks.
- Vey looks like the shell of a skilled player. You can see something was there, but the confidence and swagger is gone.
- Bennett continued his beast mode streak.
- Stajan stood out in a bad way offensively.
- Brouwer had good times and bad times.
