I also have to say I have a McGuire-sized man crush on Mark Pysyk. He’s rock solid at both ends of the ice, always makes the smart play, and never gives up on a play either. He is 20 years old now though, so I suppose this shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise.

Watch for this Lazar kid, lead the team in playoff points (at least thru the first 3 rounds, got shut down vs. Portland) and he’s only a rookie.

Reinhart had some great games, more good games but also had a few duds. Gernat…he’s dangerous. When he’s on the ice there is a good chance that someone will be scoring.

Pysyk is the best player on the ice most often. Really good player.

Finally, hopefully Tambellini was watching this cause it’s nice to see what a team with great depth can do. 4 good lines, 2 solid D pairings (to be honest, the 5-6 spot was kind of a shit show) and good goaltending means you can win.
