I've based my scores a little differently to Bagheera in that I'm grading them against the general standard of the EIHL.

I don't see any obvious weaknesses in the team, however I don't see any real stand outs on the team either, but I think a few players I think are worth mentioning:

• Betteridge has done very well with his time as a top 6 forward and proven he is more than capable of putting up points, it's good to see his high work effort being rewarded.
  
• I previously didn't have much hope for Kelsall, after coming back from his season in Dundee I thought he showed little improvement, but I think he's managed to step up his game this season and I hope to see him put a few points.
• I thought Tousignant looked a little subdued after a couple of fiesty pre-season games, it appeared the refs had had some words and he'd calmed his act down. However over the last few games he seems to be back to his old ways, I thought he was very effective against Dundee, their veteran dman Kankaanperä spent a good amount of time in the box as he just couldn't keep his hands off Tousi.

Thought I’d go through and add a little insight into my decisions. By no means perfect, they are just that, opinions. Just my thoughts…

#31 Will Kerlin 8/10 - 2 wins from 2 starts before tonight, better than I thought he’d be, do like the look of him.
#37 Kevin Carr 7/10 - as expected, solid if unspectacular, gives us a chance.

#4 Taylor Doherty 6/10 - if he wasn’t a better than expected skater he’d be a 5. Underwhelmed. Needs to finish hits and be more intimidating, clearing the crease. Frustrating.
#12 Brady Norrish 9/10 - really good. Been a great pick up and someone you’d want around for years, a standout for me.
#13 J.C. Brassard 7/10 - not really noticed him apart from the odd step up hit. Not bad. Not great.
#20 Mark Matheson 6/10 - been only okay. Looks leggy and losing too many individual battles. Not been as key as previously.
#24 Aaron Thow 7/10 - decent opening weekend. Looks a good mid season addition.
#25 Josh Tetlow 8/10 - transformed his game. Impressive and confident, I like how he’s improved.
#45 Stephen Lee 7/10 - not bad, but reasonably solid.

#8 Matthew Myers 7/10 - fantastic on the checking line. Wins draws and works his nuts off. Not shy of a push and shove either. An intimidating right winger would make this line a nightmare.
#9 Robert Baillargeon 6/10 - scores from dirty areas, in and around the net which is what you want. Needless penalties at times and not always clicking with team mates
#14 Jordan Kelsall 7/10 - great work ethic and endeavour, added considerable foot speed to his game. New defensive bottom six forward
#15 Jeremy Welsh 8/10 - growing into the role well. Seems a classy operator.
#17 Kevin Domingue 8/10 - genuine goal scorer and a key player. Seems to LOVE it too.
#21 Matt Lane 6/10 - flashes of brilliance, clearly a quality player, just needs a bounce or two. Time will come.
#23 Massimo Carozza 6/10 - injured a lot. Some nice assists, needs a run of games.
#43 Mathieu Tousignant 8/10 - scored key goals and been a nuisance. Does his role exceptionally well.
#74 Ollie Betteridge 9/10 - really improved. First big point season I think. Franchise player potential.
#81 Simon Suoranta 5/10 - not delivered on expectation but a good player, another one that needs a constant run of games and line mates.
#94 Christophe Boivin 6/10 - good player and energetic, snatches at his chances, maybe trying too hard at the moment.
