No surprise the pairings have been adjusted and Grossmann is likely in the press box. I didn't agree with having Grossmann in the starting lineup but I imagine nobody was more disappointed that Gulutzan as he probably went out on a limb to get this guy signed and starting opening night. One would think Grossmann would try to take this opportunity and at least play a style of game where if he gets beat by a better player so be it but try at all costs not to play sound and avoid costly mistakes. He ends up repaying the head coach by committing a major mistake on his first shift and then again shortly after. I would be lying if I had a finger on the pulse of this guy but I would have to question his hockey smarts after last night's game as he played the exact opposite as you would expect a veteran player in his position to play.
