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.

I think the biggest ones for me is seeing Galiardi and McGrattan still getting time. I understand people think McGrattan helps because of his fighting ability but him and Galiardi bring nothing to the table when the game is on. I think a guy like Reinhart should be up instead of them.
D. Jones is another useless guy and with Stempniak playing bad as well tough to watch both those guys contribute nothing out there.
Breen was terrible so maybe we don't have a young defenseman that can step in for SOB but we won't lose anything if he is out and a inexperienced guy steps in and plays poorly.
I think that guys shouldn't just be thrown in but it appears that some of the young guys are playing well in the AHL so with so many vets adding nothing seeing a few more youngsters would be nice.
