Yes, he had a penalty, but it was a fairly weak one. A guy the size of Rupp shouldn't go down that easy, so I don't blame Butler for that.
It's amazing how Butler looks when he's played in a role that doesn't exploit his downfalls as a d-man.

Also overlooked, I thought Smith had a good game - maybe his best of the season.
They had Wideman and Bouwmeester out a few times again last night - I am not a fan of that pairing at all. Keep the top 4 the way they were - Giordano has been slowly but steadily figuring out how to play with JBo, it'll come.
