Except they were not in the hunt, and it was absolutely "garbage time" for the team. Lots of players were getting a shot they didn't necessarily deserve. Hell, we even gave Backstrom some games in net. Racking up points when the games don't matter is pointless, and it means relatively nothing. Lots of players put up points when the pressure is off, but it only matters when the pressure is on. I agree with Burke on that one.
