1. PLante as ans Assistant Captain??? Doesn't he kind of represent everything a leader shouldn't be? (soft, lazy and dumb). With Postma and guys up front I thought that was an odd choice. He has actually had a really good year, but I was surprised he got an A based on his requesting of a trade at the beginning of the year.
2. It may be because it was a mean nothing game but the Hitmen took a lot of real dub penalties. Has this been an issue all year and they have been good enough to overcome it or was it just a weird lapse in a nothing game? It seems to me that a few players do take some unnecessary penalties from time to time, especially Ian Schultz. But for the most part they do not take a lot of bad penalties.
3. Does Kouzon always cherry pick that badly? or again just something he was doing in a mean nothing final game? Well from the games I have seen, Kozie is usually one of the first forwards to be leaving the defensive zone but I wouldn't exactly say he is a cherry picker.
Hopefully, Metsola is back for the play-offs because without him the Canes have about 0 chance of coming with in 3 goals of the Blades. I don't think the Canes have much a chance regardless, I really think there are internal issues with that roster and they have been there since day 1 of the season.
And hopefully Kirk has nothing to do with the Canes games in the play-offs. I have doubts that the replacement ref will be any better but at least the made up calls will be gone. Terrible, terrible job from, Kirk tonight. The Canes must have lost tonight
