[gopreds19]

James Howard has been better than I expected.

It's the same with Datsyuk. He has Suter and Weber to deal with, plus their top 2-way forwards to deal with, but he still creates.

I'm sure Detroit has tried to match him with Zetterberg/Lidstrom as much as possible.

As for the thread? I'm with Erat. he's like Nashvilles version of Homer. The guy reads rebounds like a beast.

Keep him...otherwise I'm sure Detroit will be all over that guy in the FA =)

He's got 3 years after this year under contract

From a Flyers fan, this.

I didn't know much about him--sort of assumed that he was totally a product of Crosby, but he plays hard.

Russell for the Blues was by far and away thier best player in game 1.

I know he is underrated, but you seriously think he was by far and away our best player?

Sean Couturier. Owning us offensively and defensively.

[Knight of the Realm]

Hansen has been good for Vancouver.

Glad to see AMart get some props outside of LA.

I had no idea how good Couturier was.. also I dont get flyers fans love for Rinaldo he plays hardly any minutes and he takes dumb penalties..

[Ill Dangle For You]

Holtby, the young kid has some series balls. kind of reminds me of Rask in '10 (even though Holtby didnt play much in reg season)

Watching the game as a Sharks fan, I noticed he was creating plays and on multiple occasions was spotting the open man for a potential dangerous shot. He was also getting back in the play very well.

I'm not sure I noticed anyone more than him I guess is a better statement.

Gotcha. He is a very good skater, and great at moving the puck up the ice. I'm still amazed at how little point production he gets. He should be getting around 30-35 a season IMO.

Both players have been great in this series. If the rest of the Canucks could match Hansen's intensity and discipline, they would be a wrecking machine in the playoffs.

[questhockey]

Radulov, Kunitz, Most of Flyers, and Howard for me

[iamerror]

I always thought Erat has been good. You could tell early on in his career that the effort was there every night and that the points would come eventually.

Holtby AINEC

[nucks88]

Doughty...what happened to this guy? Was he really that over-hyped?
