Really obvious this game that ABB lacks top end speed but has fantastic vision, if he could get a little bit faster he could make it.

Cernak looks like an All Star. So does Killorn. They might be the only regulars really giving it their all.

ABB, Joseph, and Volkov are all making a decent case. Joseph is standing out like he did two years ago. Darting into open areas.

I've never seen it with Foote. At least not with my own eyes. I've read a lot about him being a blue chip prospect, or near-blue chip, but every time I watch him I see a guy I can't picture in the NHL.

Sean Day also stood out that 2nd period, very smooth skating/hands.

Day - Green is going to make a nice pair for Syracuse.

Volkov, ABB, Joseph all look good so far. Stephens has been less noticeable.

Borgman looks better than Foote. Below the goal line is the danger zone for Foote. He's fine defending in space, but once the play goes down low, it's a struggle. Borgman can skate out of it, start the breakout, or find his partner who can then move it.

Day is the better of the Green-Day pairing, but when Green gets some space, he's better than I thought.

Could Green play against a team that plays tighter to the point? He doesn't win the physical battles, and he's sort of limited as a stick handler.

Lots of the AHL guys trying to force plays through the blueline, Cooper is probably cringing from the bench.

Cirelli again invisible Johnson and Killer are carrying that line.
They have more to prove. Both were supposed to be traded. Those two and Cernak are really the only regulars who came to play this one.
