I agree that Lee looked beat out there especially in the third period. Oshie had his down game last night though. He was flying all over the place.
Defense:
Jones and Smaby had GREAT nights. Finley recovered well after a stupid first period. Radke, god I wish he would start making something happen. He did register an assist on the night but other than that he was pretty quiet. Chorney looked tired but not so much as Lee. Still, even when tired, Lee looked pretty sound defensively. I hate to be an opposing fan once this defensive corps matures.
Offense:
Zajac and Kozek had great games.
Prpich got his head out of his butt midway through the second period.
Porter tried hard but couldn't get anything going at all. Porter had a disappointing weekend.
Spirko worked the hardest of all wingers. If Fabian hadn't gotten tossed, he would have gotten that nod.
Kaip... oy. Foyt isn't getting it done and Kaip, though pretty sound defensively isn't getting it done offensively nor his he really playing smart hockey either. I think Miller plays next weekend (Somehow PCM shoots to the top of my head every time I see that. ). Kaip, like Radke, is a second year freshman, but unlike Radke, it seems like Kaip is actually relearning the game instead of elevating it.
Stafford worked hard but couldn't produce.
Watkins and Duncan: They played ok, but not spectacular. Watkins over the weekend made some pretty poor defensive decisions.
Toews and Oshie: Toews REALLY did a good job tonight. Oshie got the whole goal started for Toews, though I don't remember if Oshie got an assist. Woog was all over Oshie slathering him with praise.
Phil Lamoreaux: MVP of the weekend. He had flashes of greatness. Woog even calls him Lamorello, so I understand why he's a bit preoccupied... playing in net for the Sioux PLUS coaching and GMing the Devils
