Ristolainen - lot's of progress, looks nothing like a rookie.
Deslauriers - best game of the year, finishes checks, took a fight. Him, Cody Mac and Flynn had a good game together.
Neuvirth - solid
Ennis - speedy, irrational, played physical. He tried getting things done, but...
B:
...Stewart and Mitchell can't control the puck.
Girgensons. It's a bit unfair to put him in the bad-department, he did a lot that puts him in the good, but he was getting pushed around quite a bit in the third and started glancing at the refs instead of just get back in the play like he usually does. Also the hit on Zadorov is partially on Girgs. He let's his man pass to finish the check. He's got to protect his teammate better there, alow him to play the puck and not get killed. I'm a fan boy, hands down, but the kid is still young and because he is so good and plays so mature night after night, we seem to forget it.
Larsson was pretty useless.
Moulson was just as useless while making a lot more money.
U:
The hit on Zadorov. Everytime I see a hit like that, I think "Imagine what the penalty would have been if Kaleta had delivered that hit".
Meszaros. It's far beyond bad. His descision making tells me he's stupid. His play when under pressure is about ok, but when he has time he makes the most incredibly boneheaded plays I've ever seen.
Refs not understanding hybrid icing or the fact that the goalie actually has to have the puck in order to block it. It's not enough that the puck is "somewhere in the same post code area as the goalie".
