Christensen...
Sykora...
Sid...
Not shown...sick glove save by Dany Sabourin on Ray Whitney at the opposite end for the clincher.
A couple of other observations from our 1st live witnessing of the year...
Sykora. Sniper. Stud.
I rip on Malkin once and awhile for trying for the perfect goal all the time, but Gino's playing well right now. Not sure he even got in the box score Friday night, which is fine, but he had a great game.
Maxime Talbot is one of the best we have on the ice right now. Consistent energy. Our 3rd line has been top notch all year.
Mark Recchi - GREAT effort tonight backchecking. A couple, at least that I recall, plays hustling back on D and breaking up some Carolina scoring chances.
Staal - looks a step slow, like he doesn't have his legs yet. Maybe its just early season stuff, but he looks wobbly on his skates at times. I know he's all tall and shits, but he just looks a little awkward at times.
Our blue-liners stink. Sorry. Ryan Whitney and Mark Eaton were particularly pathetic on this night. The back-pedal, back-pedal, matador style clearly isn't cutting it. Fleury hasn't played that great, but some of the blame needs to be passed on to our Defensemen, no doubt. Sabourin played well after that early Ray Whitney slapper, but if we're gonna do anything this year, we need Fleury to regain his confidence and play like he's capable of playing. That won't happen unless our D-men start to step up a bit.
