Disappointing game for me in hindsight. I didn't have an issue with the effort, but simply thought the goals were avoidable.
- I agree with the game takes that McGrattan isn't helping the team on the ice. The 4th line has basically averaged one clear scoring chance going back to the game in San Jose, and last night they were nearly invisible for me.
- Ferland is getting better. We need a player like him.
- Granlund needs a goal to help him surge again. He's had a bit of a stall, but I think it's more offensively as his defensive side remains intact.
- I thought last night's game was the first time I've explicitly seen a team make a point of taking Gaudreau down. He was brought down a couple of times in scrums, and Sharks players were feeding him plenty of stick whenever they could. Get used to it Johnny.
