Great to see Backlund with an A, at the start of the year when he felt a bit picked on by Hartley now shows what a little accountability and motivation can do to a player. He's been outstanding.
Monahan looks like he's not going to be that player that cuts through a whole teams defense, dekes the goalie out of his shorts and puts in a top corner backhand. But beyond his 200 foot game, he just oozes hockey IQ and knows where to go, this bodes well for the future.
It was great to see a lot of hard work paying off, at least one carolina fan was complimentary on how active our blue line was last night.
Good for Ramo to get the shutout, he's really improved his positioning a lot since the start of the year.
