Disappointing.
Rask has been fine. Possibly the best player tonight. Made some big saves.
The D, oddly, is holding their own, despite being depleted.
Our star forwards just aren't getting it done. An injured Krejci isn't helping. Bergeron and Marchand have been stymied. Pasta was fighting the puck all night. Backes has been better, but still not enough of a factor tonight. Spooner might as well stick to the PP.
The lunch-bucket guys are at least playing respectably. Acciari had another goal tonight that would have counted before the Coach's Challenge era.
It's not over yet. But I don't know what the answer is. Release the Beleski? Hayes?
Move Backes to centre?
