SO:

Players I liked: Tavares, Bunting, Amadio, Nylander, Muzzin, Liljegren, Gabriel, Kerfoot, Hollowell, Scott

FORWARDS

Tavares: Its Tavares and he's back baby (Tipped PP goal)

Bunting: he's going to score a goal per game. (Goal)
Ho-Sang: Liked his play reading. His mistake did lead to a breakaway goal
Nylander: Do I even need to explain: Played PK (2 Assists, both primary one off a tip from a shot by Tavares and Shootout goal)
Mikheyev: Nice to see him hitting and playing corners. Still fast. Try a couple of moves in front of the net with his back to the goalie that I liked. Breakaway still not working apart from the shootout
Spezza: Had the A
Amadio: had a very active stick on defense and was really good imo
Robby: Seem like he finally took the advice of slowing down. Picked a guy's pocket twice. Still need to get better like Liljegren. Played PK
Kerfoot: Great pick play to get Nylander time and space and made another hab cover him and it led to a goal. He did the little things
Gabriel: assist shy of Gordie howe hatrick. really liked him. He's slow but he wasn't out of position. Got a goal and sick celly. (Goal and fight win)
SDA: Didn't really see much good or bad
Clune: AHL Captain

DEFENSE

Muzzin: Could honestly get a hat trick and has the A (Goal)
Brodie: Its Brodie (2 assists, 1 primary)
Liljegren: Top TOI and played well apart from an early stretch pass. Need to work on his play near boards under pressure but that will happen with game time
Sandin : could have been better but wasn't bad (Assist)
Kral and Hollowell: Good but don't really know what to say

GOALIES:

Hutch: Solid for Hutch
Scott: Very good and injured again. The dude can't get a break. it's sad
