Really disappointed obviously but this series highlighted a few important things.
Negatives:
- Johnny can't lead a team upfront. Just buttery soft.
- For the love of god please do something about the goaltending. Goodbye Elliott!
- As good as the 3M line was all year they aren't a 2nd line. Perfect 3rd line but do not have the offensive capabilities to be a true 2nd line.
- GG looked like a completely amateur. Randy took him to the woodshed this series.
- The 3rd and 4th line needs a lot of work. To many passengers (Brouwer, Bouma).
Positives:
- Really pleased with Monahan. Ya 5 on 5 he didn't score but he goes to the hard areas, he battled, he improved in the face-off circle. If Gaudreau wasn't so bad, he would have done a lot better 5 on 5.
- Bennett showed a lot of guts. He may not turn into the offensive powerhouse you'd expect from a 4th overall pick but his game is built for playoff hockey. Love his tenacity and grit.
- Stone probably the best of the top 4 dmen. Has a heavy shot and plays a simple brand of hockey. I'm not sure why GG decided not to put him on the ice for the last 4 minutes of the game when he is the only dman capable of getting a puck hard and through on net.
- Versteeg, get this guy signed. You can tell he knows how to get it done in the playoffs. Probably our best forward in the series and thats no slight on him or anybody else. He is a stanley cup champ.
