Suppose I'm glad I went to bed after the 2nd...
Still done with Rask, Bjugstad for the most part and whomever they end up using from the taxi squad. I feel like it's ridiculous to keep putting out these Cramarossa and Johnson types...don't we have better options than that?
That first period (minus the scoring) did nothing to help me stay awake haha. Although that Ek play on the assist was so cool....I just kept saying to myself how did he do that? That was sick.
I'm with you as far as Rask and Bjugstad, but at this point I think Guerin doesn't see this team going far in the post season, and is going to play out the string with what he has, and Rask and Bjugstad is what he has. I do think that Bjugstad has played a bit better recently, Rask a bit worse.
I think Cramarossa and Johnson are up because they can play physically a bit, and have some experience. I would rather see a player like Dewar, who has been playing reasonably well and has some skill, but maybe they don't think he has what it takes physically to play a NHL checking game. We have already seen Dumont, Iowa's leading scorer, and Mayhew, and they haven't been able to take their AHL game to the NHL. Maybe something to do with development, also. They don't want a young guy like Dewar to sit around on the taxi squad not playing games.
