We’re playing really well right now."- Henrik Lundqvist

I sure liked the Higgins AA and Cali line last game….. I say they are a great balance Hig the grinder, AA the skill and Cali the hustler……
Avery looked a little lost last game…. Meh,not much to say….. I like the other Avery better, more trash talking, less thinking……
Brash look great on the Brash scale… hope he keeps it up.
I like the addition of Christensen… good pick-up
Rozsival is losing all of his nick names as of late… good to see him doing much better. I could see him or Staal getting the other A………
DZ is unbelievable for 19…… or 25 or 30 or …..
Gabby and Hank a gift from above…. Who signed them?
Vinny has the best tan in the NHL….. not many can say that.
I would be remiss if I did not ask for Voros to dress…..
Boyle = sore back? Did Dubi body slam him in that scrap?
