I thought Jankowski had a great game. He won so many board battles and does lots of little things right.
I thought Mangiapane played great, but my ongoing problem with him is that he can't seem to bury his chances. He had a few glorious chances tonight, including a 5 alermer in the 3rd when they really needed it, but nothing. Then Giordano gets one chance and shows everyone what burying it means.
Conversely, Dube, even though he makes mistakes, is more dynamic and can actually make things happen offensively.
I liked Hanifin's game tonight. And Ryan. I thought Andersson and Valimaki both looked good.
Not seeing enough from Foo to pencil him into the lineup.
I am not the least bit worried about Smith. The amount that people complain about vets, every pre-season, just astounds me.
