I actually think this is as good first six games I can remember from this organization in a long time. I really can't single out a player that's been bad. Johnny is looking dangerous, the 2nd line has picked up where it left off last season, goaltending has been great, and previous slow starters like Monahan and Giordano are contributing early. I don't fault Ferland for not grabbing the 1st line RW role because he's miscast in that role. My only concerns at this point is the defensive breakdowns which have been a long time issue of this defense group but hopefully as the pairings get more time things will stabilize.
