Was at the game last night with the GF. She downright said several times "I don't know much about hockey but man Shifty(her nickname for Gaudreau) is good!!!"
Was thoroughly unimpressed by Wideman, Colbourne and Bollig last night. Wideman for obvious reasons. Colbourne because the puck died on his stick far too often in the offensive zone (especially when his line mates in Byron and Gaudreau were probably our best). Bollig because he was mostly invisible.
Props to McGratton helping getting the team to wake the **** up. I think it was early in the second when one of our guys got crunched and he came out and laid his two big hits. It was the first time the crowd truly woke up last night in the Dome.
The first was just off season rust, I get that. But man was it painful to watch both teams.
Russel and Backlund were the only two players on the whole team that could enter the zone and keep the puck on their sticks. That has to change. Far too much unsuccessful dump and chase last night. Raymond tried but every time it did work his line mates had gone off for a change.
Lastly, unfortunately Vrbata looks quite good with the Sedins
I demand you change your custom user text to "man Shifty is good"
