…Gilroy was all over the ice tonight, Michael Del Zotto on the other hand came back to earth somewhat tonight. Grachev certainly had some moments tonight but it still seems like he would be better suited to spend some time in Hartford. I liked how Brian Boyle played…Enver Lisin flys and it looks like it takes no effort. Chad Johnson has looked very good tonight, very good.
