Gustafsson obviously had a strong debut leading them in icetime and registering an assist and a few shots. He has size and skill and an offensive mentality. I thought he competed hard defensively as well.
Forbort reminds me of Sarich and I think we will grow to appreciate him in games against St. Louis, Winnipeg and Vegas who have big forwards that can score. He made a few good blocks tonight and his puck skills and passing are better than expected.
Tons of credit to Monahan and Backlund for finishing chances and getting offensive pressure when Boston needed a push.
Yet another high scoring game. Glad to see the offence rolling and hoping for another boost from a rested Gio.

I didn't see the game so I can't comment, but didn't Burke say that Mangiapane's skating was below average and even called it horrible? I certainly haven't noticed that at all and have seen him win a ton of those puck races as well.
