We are going to be a formidable opponent when we get Oduya, Martin, Elias and Pandolfo back. With so many injuries i've been really impressed with how the team has stepped up and some of our less appreciated players have made great contributions.
I was really impressed with Bergfors and Zubrus tonight, they both played fantastically, Langenbrunner and Rolston played well and looked pretty decent when they were playing together with Niedermayer.
I also really liked the Parise-Zajac-Bergfors line for the little bit of time we got to see it, they seemed to gel quite nicely.
Two more points which is fantastic, looking forward to hopefully seeing Elias and Oduya back in the lineup this weekend, i like Murphy but he needs some more time in the minors in my opinion. Fraser on the other hand looks pretty decent, a very good 7th defenceman. Loving what i'm seeing from Greene as well, very happy with the defence at the moment, nice to see that a few injuries to key players don't cause the team to collapse.
Another player deserving of a mention in my opinion is Matt Halischuk, he looked alright tonight, nothing spectacular but he outplayed Pikkarainen in my eyes. Sort of hoping he doesn't get sent straight back down to Lowell.
Good win anyway guys, hopefully we carry the momentum over into the Islander/Senator games this weekend.
LGD!
