I found the timing of this thread interesting because, while he has been playing much better since Gio went down, I thought he really struggled last night.
His first pass, over and over, was simply atrocious.
I think he single-handedly iced the puck with the 4th line out there 4 different times.
The blocked shots were a result of the fact that he couldn't get out of his own end. The Sharks did a good job of keeping the pressure on him (as opposed to Brodie skating it out of the zone himself)
I was pulling my hair out last night because of him.
But yeah, he has been playing better for the last while.
