For the first time this season I've been able to really watch a game, and I saw something concerning about Tomasino. When the puck is not on his stick, he is spectating, rather than playing. Most notably, watch when he passes or shoots or dumps the puck - he stops moving his feet and is coasting while trying to figure out what to do next. This is a coachable issue.Tomasino's first time really being in position for a tip all season long. Got the goal. Defensively he's playing like there's a live grenade near him but he did get to the net and into that screen position for the tip.
The spectating has been a major reason for his demotion from Novak's line to limited time to the press box. He's looked lost in the defensive zone.So many players on the ice who don't fit what I understand to be Bruno's system. Smith, McCarron, Lauzon - can we just cut loose the last vestiges of Hynes hockey please? At least Sherwood offers the speed to play in the new system, so I'm okay with keeping him around. But playing these folks to the exclusion of Parssinen, Afanasayef, and other young talent with more upside is foolish.

Another loss closer to a top 5 pick…
I'm pretty sure he knew what he signed up for before he came here.If this keeps up O’Reilly will probably be asking for that TDL trade anywhere else
Mcdonough - this is a lost seasonThen who plays on the right side? Once again your personnel moves make zero sense based on where players play. The only thing that would make less sense is waiving Lankinen so Tomasino could play more which is something in the realm of crap I'd actually expect to see from you.
