I think all of the players mentioned above acquitted themselves well, and I might also add Hoppe...but that may be recency bias.

Giochonni obviously showed up well in limited minutes too.

I can't remember which pundit raised the point, but our european-based players can certainly take some influence and maybe even feel the tiniest sense of pressure from how the guys last night performed. If those guys could beat the Mexican A- team, then our A team should raise their game.
