Random thoughts:Erat and Radulov were the best offensive players tonight.
Radulov is going to be very hard to send down if he keeps going. Kimmo had a few non-Kimmo moments along the way but otherwise fine. Weber was solid and poised but not overly physical tonight (played great D on a one-on-one breakaway). Markov had some errors but clearly is a presence. Zannon and Haydar will be sent down soon-- Pivko likely to join them. Legwand didn't have much of a move on his penalty shot but otherwise had a solid game. I didn't think Upshall was as impressive as some others but maybe didn't notice him in the brief time he was with us (tie it down if you want to hit people!). Choppy game with the penalties. Preds are MUCH faster team. Hamhuis looks like he is even better this year.
Sully, Hordy and Mason signing at the door was a nice bonus.
