A few game notes, now that I have a chance to "post"

• Terness was terrific and deserved the number one star. There was more activity in front of the crease than usual - credit to BC for their game plan, but Terness was poised and solid and is seemingly always in the right position to make a save.
  
  
• Kudos to Cav and the staff for their line combinations. I saw a lot of Tverberg vs another terrific player in #11 Colby Ambrosio so speed could match speed.
  
  
• I appreciate seeing Samu Salminen in the lineup, and for just joining the team he didn't look totally lost. It will take some time to develop chemistry - I hope he can improve the team's ability to win and control face offs.
  
  
• I hope Amonte comes back healthy, because his energy was missed. Despite the win, we all know it wasn't a 5-1 game and that a great 5-3 kill and feed to a breaking Rees changed the momentum of the game. The Amonte effect is real, and the team feeds of his style and leadership.
  
  
• This team is DEEP! And diverse in the sense of roles that are played - even more so with #13 available. The plucker line of Veilleux Dawe and Tattle was great - they can really plug and muck things up and a re a threat to score. The fact that there are 4 lines that can perform bodes well deep into the season when they need to rely on contributions from more than one or two lines, or special teams.
