Blackwood was solid, but I don't think this was lop-sided. Look at the shot carts. Boston had a bunch of perimeter shots and the Devils had a few good, close opportunities.
- Coleman gets 18:46 of ice and he just doesn't look right to me
- Greene, really has been solid and I was on him earlier in the year, but he's calm and his decision making in the D-zone is usually pretty solid (positions, passes, wrap-arounds, puck protect). He got 19:11 of ice.
- Butcher led d-men with 21:53. BUTCHER!
- Carrick even had 19:41. Carrick is more error prone than Damon but I'm beginning to see Sevo's toolset outweigh the giveaways. I still like that Carrick gets the puck through but just bear down a little monkey boy
- Rooney lacks skill. Lappin lacks skill. Agostino has heart but you guessed it...no skill. Pietila lacks sk... He bad.
- Zajac is the most neutral player ever right now.
- Stafford is actually smart but he's too slow. He has skill.
- McLeod's game is definitely getting better. He would turn the puck over within .5 seconds but faceplanting or losing control of the puck, and now he's either moving the play along or losing it after 5 seconds. He's 10x better. Seriously, I'm glad he's getting this look.
- Santini is now THINKING the game slow. I know he was never the fastest guy, but he was always good with outlets and decisions. That seems to be declining.
- Jesper - it is a joy to watch Jesper play hockey.a
Amazing this was not a blow-out...Also, Chara is a shell of himself- almost feel bad.
