Personally, only 2nd quarter Rob Blake deserves the Norris, not ****ty 1st quarter Blake, but who else are you going to give it to?

Dustin Brown's success is only "overachieving" if you didn't expect anything from him to begin with, but I think everyone at LGK did.

Agreed. I remember his first few games, liking him instantly, and anxiously awaiting his development into a premier player.

I seem to remember most people criticizing him and wanting him traded saying he had no hockey sense and wouldnt develop.

Change "most" to "some" and I agree with you.

You could make a case for Lubo being the underacheiver. He's had a rough year all around, he's still on pace for about 45 points but I expected more out of him.

I'm confident Visnovsky will bounce back, but he's had a rough first half.

I think Brown is overachieving and I expect a good season from him.

I expected 20-25 goals and he's on pace for 40.

Those some are the one's who sit here all day and post 6,000 times about the same thing. They also think they know everything about hockey, even though they are correct about .00000000000001% of the time...so, there ya go.

Once healthy, Handzus was (is?) expected to be a legit #2 center. Armstrong is a #3/4 center playing as a #2 and doing as well as can be expected.

Wow, I just got really depressed after typing that.

Nagy underachieving and Modry overachieving.

When Modry has been the team's best defensemen the 1st half, something is terribly wrong!!!
