Forwards
Abdelkader: B+ Brings lots of grit and energy, strong night in and night out.
Bertuzzi: A- This is the best Big Bert has played in years.
Cleary: B+ Cleary is electric, scoring big goals, and working hard.
Datsyuk: A- Datsyuk is amazing on a nightly basis, whether he's scoring or not.
Eaves: B- Great on the PK which is doing well, and always works hard.
Filppula: B Seems to have more confidence as late, just needs to shoot more.
Franzen: B+ Agree with earlier comments, either he is HUGE, or invisible.
Helm: B+ I think he brings the most energy to the 4th line, and has a great work ethic.
Holmstrom: B He does what Homer does.
Hudler: D Poor Hudler needs to find his game, about 10 games ago.
Miller: B- See Eaves...
Modano: C+ Brought energy and worked hard, not scoring as much as I'd like though.
Zetterberg: B+ Like Datsyuk, is incredibly driven, and always a threat.
Defensemen
Ericsson: B- Great improvement from last year
Janik: N/A
Kindl: N/A
Kronwall: B His physical play is considerably down, but he's playing well enough.
Lidstrom: A What can you say about Lidstrom? Phenomenal start, playing better than ever.
Rafalski: A- Really really REALLY missed him while he was out, and he looks great.
Salei: B Works hard, and seems to do his job well overall consistantly.
Stuart: B+ Stuart is playing quite well also, and he looks awesome with Lidstrom.
Goaltenders
Howard: A- Howard never quite seems to look the same from night to night, but great overall.
Osgood: C+ The team never quite seems to be in groove when Ozzy's in, but I don't think that's his fault. It'll be interesting to see how his next start goes.
Just my two cents
