teams need to go through tough times and make mistakes to get better
i want to focus on the positives
christian thomas looked really good, not out of place, it is great that they gave him a look
carey price. wow! the save on crosby in overtime especially, carey is dialed in
sekac got hammered tonight by checks constantly and did not cower or quit, however i think he would be more useful on a more offensive line, he is not afraid to get in front of the net even after getting crunched all night
that brings me to eller, who has become tremendously adept defensively and is developing beyond needing special wingers like sekac, eller is evolving out of his role
next weise on the 2nd line does not look terrible, he can play above the grinder role
but i can see where parenteau is missed there however even though pap wasn't producing goals a lot before he was hurt but would provide the more timely goals the team needs in these close games
pacioretty's missing of the open net sealed the game, 9/10 times he makes that and perhaps he and pk could communicate better on the ice, even great players miss sometimes so i don't want to read more into it than what it was
plekanec's broken stick on the powerplay goal very unfortunate...maybe therrien runs line change drills at practice no?
