Glencross was bad but he had been playing his best hockey of the year before tonight. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. Still don't get why people hate him so much given how much he produces on such a cheap contract...
Paul Byron needs to sit. Absolutely invisible tonight (and the past few games IMO) and hasn't produced in forever. If he's not going to put up points he better bring some energy and tonight he didn't do either.
Hiller had a solid game. Gave the team a chance to win.
Thought Monahan had one of his worst games of his career. Wasn't the worst player tonight but I have higher expectations from him than a guy like Byron.
Russell really struggled as well. Seemed like he was fighting the puck at times.
Johnny was Johnny. Kid's a treat to watch every time he touches the puck.
Boring game that could have gone either way IMO. The Isles were just a bit better in every aspect, but not by much. That's a good team and we kept them to only 2 goals. Shake it off, enjoy the rest, and get a W next game against the Red Wings.
