Head of the Class - Josh Gorges, arguably the un-'C'd team member that rarely if ever gives less than 100% effort. He'll take a puck to the head to prevent a scoring opportunity and will stand up for his classmates with pride, humility, dignity and gorgeousness. 100% 92%. (no one gets 100%)
Fast Times - Pernell K. Subban, reined in by The System™ and challenged with top minutes with #79 out for what was almost an entire season. Awesome second half with (finally) flashes of his brilliance on display. 85%
Needs Improvement - Pretty boys Raphael Diaz and Yannick Weber, both suffered from rookie-type mistakes, despite one being an All-Star. Lots of competition in the pipeline may see one or both dealt. 70%.
My Bodyguard - Alexei Emelin, (Y) started off body busting and dropping huge, hard hits, then surprisingly slowed down. Impressed with his defensive skill and how he kept the crease clear. 85%.
Spicoli Redux - Chris Campoli, nice guy, fun to be around, plays like he's half-stoned. 70%.
Valedictorian Vodov - Andrei Markov is our team's most skilled player that deserves to be listened to (love his interview sarcasm). The few smooth dishes from the PP point were a reminder of how delicious it is to watch him play. 85%.
Barely Passed - Tomas Kaberle, had one really good game, then he and his supposed sweet sausage passes disappeared. 70%.
Attendance counts - Frederic St. Denis, not often in the line-up but when there he showed some good skills and deserves a permanent call-up. 80%.
Honour Roll mention - Hal Gill and Jaro Spacek for their time as Canadiens.
