Kovalev - A- invisible in games 3 and 4 but dominant in games 1,2,5

Riberio - D (weak in our end and theirs......absolutely NO finish around the net.....not strong in corners.....should be no where near a powerplay)

Bulis -C- one goal and haven't seen him since

Murray - A+ shows up each night/one of a only a few forwards to screen the goal and hit their D......has earned a contract for next year

Begin - A for showing the heart to play hurt and for an awesome regular season

Bonk - B- showed some offense early but has fallen off the map of late

Downey - B knows his role and doesn't hurt us defensively....played well in game 5

Ryder - B+ scored some big goals.......Gainey needs to give him more PP time

Higgins - B Rookie who has shown flashes, has missed Saku, as has Ryder, but will be a longtime Hab

Plekanek - A great on draws, centered our most dangerous line in these playoffs, rookie who has proved he belongs

Perrezogin - B- needs to finish better and shoot more, certainly shown that he can play at this level

Zednik- B- has played better than anytime during regular season but still needed to deliver more as a veteran.......spends too much of a game with one hand on his stick

Sundstrom - C provided a veteran presence but did little to make an impact in the game

Koivu - B his presence and leadership are certainly missed, his linemates look like lost sheep now

Souray - B playing hurt.....was hoping for him to play meaner, but that is hard to do when you get a penalty for leaning on someone in the new NHL

Markov - D has been a major disappointment, not providing that QB on the PP that we are desperately need, playing like he's had enough for this year

Rivet- B Solid series

Dandeneault - A has played hard, tough, skating really well....saved his best for the right time of year.....his playoff experience is showing

Komisarek - B reliable and solid.........greatly improved since Xmas....he's a keeper

Bouillion - B+ rebounded well from injury, plays with heart and loves to hit

Huet - A has been very solid and has given us a chance in each game....... few soft goals at home but has been everything he was supposed to be

Gainey - C not enough emotion shown towards refs and players behind the bench, refuses to shake up lines midway through a game to wake up the team, continues to play wimpy at center on the PP

I BELIEVE that this will go 7 games and from there, I can't even guess who'll win.  I really think we've been the best team in 4 of the 5 games(we were outplayed in game 4).......we need to start getting traffic on net and get in this kid's head.  Our special teams need to improve or FORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
