Honestly, the only liabilities were the bottom pairing, goaltending and to a certain extent, coaching for not shortening the bench when needed. Otherwise, at worst, some guys were invisible or less effective then you'd like. Brodie, Monahan and Bennetts were the standouts while Hamilton, Giordano and Backlund were pretty solid. Ferland was great in the first two games but quieted down a bit after that.
Tkachuk didn't do a whole lot but it's absolutely unfair to expect a rookie to not only shutdown the likes of Getzaf and co. but also produce significantly.
