Have to say I wasn't terribly impressed with Sgarbossa, but it's hard to get a feel for a player in only 10 minutes of ice time. Same with Colin Smith. I'm pretty sure he all but disappeared after that unfortunate turnover. Some of that is on Guenin IMO who shouldn't have passed to him with a bunch of Montreal players just sitting there high in the zone waiting to pounce. Guenin had time to make a smarter play, Smith didn't. Kid's got some amazing wheels though.
I do think Roy is making a mistake in putting Briere in a 3rd line role. Tanguay did just fine in elevating a couple grinders, Briere should be somewhere in the top six. Briere's just no good (and yes I know he scored a goal last night) in the bottom six.
