I was only there the first 2 periods since I had an 8-ball game at 9PM (won 4-0 if anyone gives a ****). But the Canes were CLEARLY the better team at that point in the game.
From last night I thought Dalpe played decently from my vantage point (314), but not nearly good enough to play himself into the open top 6 spot.
Welsh, despite the goal, was borderline invisible. I still think he's better suited to the wings.
Lindholm was solid but don't expect a Jeff Skinner type impact from him.
The 4th line was god-awful, Westgarth especially. No reason to roll that line out if the Jackets aren't playing goons that night, which they weren't.
Murphy has the raw ability to be something special. Could have easily had a 3 point night last night. But the defensive deficiencies mean they need to ease him into the roster as our #6/PP specialist for the time being.
Gerbe was everywherem if he keeps this up I don't see any way he's not on our 23 man roster at the start of the season.
Ward was left out to dry. Absolutely nothing he could do in the first 3 goals.
Gleason-Komisarek... why? That was awful.
Bellemore was actually better then Komisarek, but Komi also got the tougher ice time. Brett looks like he'll be a good #6/7 guy down the road.
Staal-Semin was its usual thing... that's a very VERY good thing. Bowman didn't kill that line but he looked like he couldn't keep up from a skating standpoint. Good guy to have as a 13th forward as he's capable of decent offensive output here and there, but absolutely nothing more then that.
nothing else worth noting.
