I know Im a little late with writing this being over a full 24 hours after the game but holy crap, at this point a win is worth writing about.

I know, it was Sucklanta, they are probably the worst team in the East without exception but hey, thats how you get to the playoffs  in my book, you beat the teams you are supposed to beat, the rest of the conference go .500 against and you are in.

A few good things happened in this game that suggest they are coming together:

1. Thomas Vanek only took til game 7 of the season but he finally got his first goal.

2. Chris Butler looked solid on defense with two assists

3. Tyler Myers looked like the defenseman we saw in his rookie season again. Granted I haven't seen his play fall off that dramatically like some have, he has just looked human so far this season, last night he looked like an all star in his second full NHL season.

4. Cody McCormick is showing a nice scoring touch , two goals in two games, not bad. I don't think anyone thought he would score two all year, much less by game 7.

Stars: Thomas Vanek, Chris Butler, Tyler Myers and Cody McCormick

Useless: Im sorry, until he can put together a solid game and look like hes trying Tim Connolly is permanently useless. He had 4 shots on goal but they were of the "I am lazy, and don't give a shit" variety.
