The one thing I will say: What is Mason Raymond doing on the powerplay? So much falls apart when he gets the puck. I think either he's slowed down, or the game has sped up to his level and hes just not "that fast guy" anymore, which was his main attribute. Probably would prefer Jones on that unit, or to replace him with Sven and see how he does. From what I can tell, he's not doing anything to earn PP time.

Totally agree with your assessment of Raymond last night. He gets the puck and whatever was happening goes to shat. His tunnel vision is annoying, on a couple of shifts Backlund snuck into open ice and Raymond doesn't even take a look, he just fires the puck on some low % shot and SURPRISE! misses the net. Been this way most of the season. Also watching him trying to get the puck off of anybody is just sad. So weak.
Watching him on a nightly basis, it's totally obvious why Vancouver then Toronto had no problems watching him walk away as a UFA. I have to give Jay Feaster some credit here, he wanted nothing to do with Mason Raymond, really wish Treliving would have felt the same way.
