Good
- Smith. Team MVP thus far.
- PK, stone hasn't been on the ice for a PP goal against i believe
- Gaudreau/Monahan manage to contribute to the score sheet nightly
- tkachuck looks even better than last year
- Offense from our Dmen
- Small chunks of time where our top4 D look game controlling 5 on 5
Bad
- Bennett yet to hit the score sheet, and general lack of offensive contribution
- Ferland, largely invisible in the first set of games before getting hurt
- too many penalties, too many dumb penalties
Meh....?
- Brouwer has done ok. I'd be satisfied if he can continue playing the way he has. Defended a teammate, effective on the PK, and generally seems a hell of a lot more interested in the game so far
- Lazar has provided some jump. If he can provide speed off the wing, he'll find a way into the line up.
- Glass, is a reasonable 4th liner.
- Bartkowkski has been a decent #6.
- i'm not sold on Jagr just yet. When he does get some offensive zone time, you can see he can still make plays, though he seems a bit slow and fatigued. I am very interested to see how he looks after this gap in games after getting in some rest and training/practice.
- I just can't understand why Jankowski isn't here yet. The team didn't miss stajan at all. If F. Hamilton can fill in for him, then he just isn't doing much on the ice. Jankowski easily slides into that 4th line C role. Nice sheltered place for him to start getting in some regular games.
