This has become a fairly common opinion with 2 years hindsight but it was not particularly fun in the moment. No one was jumping for joy when Reto Berra and Joey McDonald were stinking up the joint in November/December. O'Brien and Butler patrolling the blueline. Cammalleri disappearing act until after the trade deadline. McGrattan and Westgarth skating a regular shift on our 4th line. Rookie Monahan, rookie Bouma, Brodie still learning the ropes. No Gaudreau. Gio and Wideman injured for large parts of the year. Hudler and Glencross both their usual inconsistent and streaky selves.
It was a gong show and a silly brawl was the highlight of the season.
