He looked far better than "Okay", he looked great. Shutting down the top NHL stars nightly. He plays the toughest minutes in the NHL. There are a ton of D-Men you think are "Better" who would crumble in his role.
The entire team looked gassed. It'll be better next season with more depth and Carlyle actually playing a 4th line.
