From the comments.
Hall agreed
Eichel agreed
Thompson see below, played well enough to keep his spot on the top line, I thought he played as well as Cozens.
Olofsson he played well certainly one of the better players
Staal now we know why Guerin was willing to take Johansson for him. Not picking Derek Ryan off of waivers looks like an oversight.
Reinhart didn't standout (1A)
Rieder agreed
Eakin nothing impressive IMO
Cozens agreed
Skinner who is he going to pass to or who will get him the puck. He was a one man show on that line. He did fine.
Lazar agreed, but he will not score much
Sheahan I really did not notice him much.
McCabe agreed
Ristolainen he was plus 1, the only plus player. I know everyone likes to down play this stat but it really did stand out did it not.
Dahling he made some good moves but could not finish any of them
Montour agreed
Miller no one played VERY well
Jokiharju IMHO again, when a defenseman is not being noticed that is probably a good thing.
Hutton, He let out too many rebounds. I can only think of 5 times that he handled the puck cleanly. I hope he is just rusty. I really cannot think of any BIG save he made. 5 goals on 27 cannot be blamed on the defensemen or forwards completely.
Quoting: Skyraider112
Good on you for sharing your observations of the game.
Players who impressed me were Reinhart, Cozens, Rieder, and Miller.
Players who did not impress me were Eichel, Staal, Sheahan, and Dahlin...Hopefully he will turn that around tonight.
The rest of the team neither impressed me or unimpressed me.
Hard to tell from one game.
6 GA pretty much takes a team effort, but they only gave up 28 shots, 3 fewer than they averaged per game last year.
Taylor and Jack had some decent moments, while IMHO Tage played well enough to stay on the top line at least one more .
