Thought about Palat. Sometimes the guy you would think is useless, when actually he is the glue that holds all the different parts together.
This is one of those times...
I mean...
Okay. Seeing Point and Gourde win like every puck battle and do so great along the boards just makes me more and more frustrated at Stamkos. But for 17 games before his leg break, I've never seen Stamkos with that type of motor. Odd to pick up because of the blowout, but there was one play where Stamkos had the puck around the goal line in the offensive zone, and Andy Greene just took him to the wall and walked away with the puck in about a half second. You just don't see that with the two midgets on our team who know how to use their body and sticks to shield the puck and avoid the hard contact.
