Really appreciated the effort tonight.
Wideman just gobbled up ice time. Stempniak with persistent and tenacious play. Backlund was solid and assured. Was also happy to see that the team didn't sag after the third goal that Joey Mac gave up, which was of the deflating kind.
And for the unfortunate bit of pessimism: I really hope Colborne isn't a vanity project that Burke just can't let go of. I'm not going to write anyone off after just one game, but wow did he just not show anything out there. Languidly skated around and poked at the occasional puck.
Anyways, on to bigger and better. Looking forward to another good effort against Vancouver.
