When you roster and develop guys like laughton, nak, sanheim, then fill in with Seeler (?), Willman (seriously?), and Braun, you aren't going to be successful. Brassard was a waste of oxygen tonight, and JVR is who he's always been. And I hate to say this, I don't know that Lindblom will ever get back to being what he was on track to become
That said, it's hockey. A sport where you can go to sleep for two periods then play hard for two minutes, and still manage a point. Its a long season so maybe this is all over reaction. It was an exciting finish and I loved Giroux's goal. Thats what a Captain is supposed to do
