Not arguing that it wasn't a bad turnover. Just that he was swarmed by 3 Canes and didn't seem to have any support. You are correct, he could have iced or given up possession to centre ice at least. I think he figured he could do something better, which wasn't the right decision.
He played okay the rest of the game. Certainly no worse than half the rest of the team. The only good forwards were JG, Hudler and Granlund (the latter defensively). Monahan was very average. Jones was also average. Byron did the usual skate fast and shoot into the legs of the defence. Glencross was no good. Bouma blocked a couple but otherwise was not noticeable. Bollig was ok bashing at the offensive end, but every time the puck came out and he was just lost in his own zone.
