Not sure why everyone is piling on Colborne. He's been solid if unspectacular. He finally lays a massive body check on someone and gets called for boarding. Fairly bad luck, IMO. He's in a massive slump offensively, as evidenced by his tense SO attempt, but he's played pretty well as a 3rd liner this season.
Why does Hartley have so much patience with a 6'5" centre who wins 52% of his faceoffs and uses his long reach and big frame to break up plays here and there? It's beyond me...
