Out of Gerbe, Ennis, and Kennedy, who played the best all around game?

They all had good moments, and sloppy moments. I dont think any of them will make the NHL roster based on what I saw last night. Gerbe proved 2 things to me, he's got nothing for vision in transition, and has no desire to shoot the puck at this level for some reason.

Kennedy had some sloppy transitions, and 2 or 3 bad passes in the zone.

Ennis needs to figure out he's tiny compared to NHL defensive men, and stay the hell away from them. He got worked over a couple of times last night.

Ennis has tons of upside though.

Our best AHL/Rookie last night was Myers, and a close 2nd, and I mean a CLOSE second was Kostka, he played with grit, poise, touch, and great positional play. He is looking like a true steal if he continues to progress.

Ennis, but it wasn't by much. The kid is the quickest of the three, and shows the most tenacity, but like Jay said - he needs to realize he's much smaller than everyone else. He definitely shows the most promise of the three.

Kostka was also mentioned as looking good by a couple people at work today.

Myers looked clumsy, they felt; coordination still not caught up to his enormous size.

I will judge for myself once I have viewed them....

Kostka did look good. Looked better than some guys higher up on the depth chart, as probably stated by your co-workers and such.

Myers didn't look clumsy at all, really. He was pretty smooth with his moves, honestly - Gragnani looked goddamn clumsy, especially when he managed to flip himself backwards onto the ice while trying to get either on or off the bench.

Yes; I was told Gragnani started out okay; but looked like a career AHL type of guy as the game wore on.

Those people clearly didnt watch him on the Power play or in transition. He looks like a young, and I mean YOUNG Marc Andre Bergeron or maybe even Joe Corvo. Career 4-6 defensive man, but excellent special teams player.


**edit**

To add to that, he was also going against full NHL veteran lines. Believe he was skating against that Clark, Knuble, Giroux line, which looked like a bunch of monsters on the ice by the way.

Ennis, but I thought they all showed a lot of heart, and a good hustle was put forth by all.

Yeah, he was apparently pretty good on the third Washington goal as well.....

...Did they credit him with an assist on that one?

They should have! He was "strong" on Detroit's goal tonight.
