What you be smokin? You got my hopes up but he is indeed in the lineup. Some on this thread feel it necessary to discuss healthy D-lines in a GDT.
Agreed on the backlund comment though. I was a big believer of this guy but he's a giveaway machine this season opposed to the one stealing the puck consistently last season. He needs some time in the AHL or a slap in the face, something.. Colborne may not do a lot with the puck, but he makes smart and safe plays. Top that off with a sick SO goal and he's definitely deserving of 3rd line duties over Backlund.
