Guys who I thought raised their games in this postseason:
Dubinsky
Johnson
Savard (possibly the most impressive compared to my expectation)
Jenner
Mackenzie
Guys who I thought did not rise to the occasion:
Wisniewski
Atkinson
Nikitin
Players whose contributions were positive but not over and above expectation:
Calvert (a bit unfair, as he had a terrific series, but I don't feel like he raised his game)
Johansen
Foligno
Murray
Umberger (incomplete, and a bit unfair to these others listed, but he gets a bonus for his game 4 effort)
Guys who didn't raise their game and who perhaps didn't play poorly but from whom more was needed:
Anisimov
Letestu
Tyutin
Bobrovsky (was real close to putting him in the Wiz category)
Guys who were guys:
Boll
Schultz
Skille
Guys who just confused the hell out of me:
Comeau
Dubinsky
Johnson
Savard (possibly the most impressive compared to my expectation)

You were a bit kind to Bob and Wiz. Bob had one great game, otherwise he was average. Most of your scoring I'm ok with. I'd go D on RJ, he did his best but outside of a few shifts he was pretty much a non-factor. I'd go C with Foligno, we need more from his game. I'd go B+ with Jenner and Johansen, as outside of the PP there were kind of average 5 on 5.
Wiz was clearly an F. Bob was more like a C or C-.
Good effort, I think you read most of the series like I did. Just some nit-picking on my part.

killing time @ work
I don't wanna give everyone a grade, so assume whoever I didn't single out got the ol' Gentleman's C.
Dubi, JMFJ, and Boone gets A's from me.
Joey, Calvert, Savard, Letestu got B's
Bob was my biggest disappointment and he probably doesnt deserve the D+, but he needed to be an A player, and was nowhere close so for that he gets a lower grade from me.
Wiz = F. But I'm not ready to trade him or buy him out yet. He's still a valuable member of this team for at least another year or two.

Right on. You could write a long list of great players that had a bad series in the postseason. If we somehow beat Pit, he could turn around have 5 goals vs the Rangers.
wiz was the worst player in the series. hopefully a possible buyout, dude was terrible and in the last month of the season seems like the only thing he brought to this team is his shot from the blueline. he is a great guy but a defensive liability always gets beat to the puck and couldn't make a good pass out of his own zone if his life depended on it.if any body gets bought out i would think he would be a prime candidate.

He had rib cartilage damage in the last half of the series. He had a couple of dumb penalties, got called for one where it was an obvious dive. Does this deserve to be bought out? Absolutely not. Stay calm poeple...stay calm.

I vote keep Wisniewski. Pretty hard to argue against keeping a 51 point defenseman. We all know the risks that come with Wiz, but even after this series I still think he helps this team more than he hurts it when you are talking big picture.

This was the big one to me. The officiating was terrible going both ways, and the complete inconsistency (particularly at inopportune times) completely changed the way every game in the series was played.
I've seen a lot of hockey, and this series was among the worst from the officials I've seen.

Just going for the extremes here because for me its splitting hairs between Bs and Cs for everyone else. Cutting Wiz some slack since he was injured.

Comeau F- That last penalty is almost enough for me to trade him. Went from 4+ minutes left to 2+ minutes left. Had the Jackets scored in that 4+ minutes who knows what would have happened with the series. Not saying the Jackets would have scored but that was perhaps the dumbest penalty I have ever seen.

It's really amazing to me that in the best pro hockey league in the world they can't find better officials for such important games. Really quite frightening. I don't recall playoff officiating ever being so shoddy in this league. On the overall, I found the regular season officiating to be palatable, possibly even good. Why that changed when we got to the playoffs will probably never make sense to me.
Good news is that we don't have to worry about finding a taker for him since he's a UFA. We can thank him for his service and wish him the very best, which should be a no-brainer for Jarmo and Co.

Didn't know that. That is good news.
Watch him go somewhere and become a Jacket killer. 
How the hell does the NHL let Tim (Banana) Peel and that clown Rooney work a playoff game?!? Two of the worst (if not THE worst) officials in the league.
Didn't know that. That is good news.
That's it! We need to sign Erat.
