Giordano is another one and again, nobody stepped up.

I'm a big Baertschi fan, but even in his case, he was given opportunities, thrown on the ice in key situations in the final minutes of the third period to get the extra goal and if I recall correctly, he screwed the pooch on two separate occasions.

Again, it's part of the growing pains, so it's not a huge deal, but really, the roster holes are there, the opportunities have been given, but the kids need to seize the moment when its there. It hasn't happened, so I'm not sure what you're so upset about.

You have a point. A lot of these guys aren't ready (Bart) or probably never will be (Breen). Next year though I think will be more interesting.
