Colborne has value beyond the shootout. He isn't Lucic, but he isn't overpaid, and seems like a good team guy. To me the criticism is unwarranted for the most part. Perhaps a function of the expectation that he really could be awesome. He isn't, but he does show flashes from time to time.
I thought he looked pretty good against LA (as did Jooris). For me, he deserved some PP time on that basis.

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
