I hate to harp on the obvious but with a couple of exceptions the only ones bringing it tonight were the youth.

Wolf was outstanding, Posposil never took a shift off, Zary was everywhere.

Huberdeau might as well have stayed at the hotel, Backlund was awful, Lindholm was worse and Kadri...I'll give him credit, he looked like he was trying hard and just getting no joy so I wont be super critical of him on this one.

Dube, Mangiapane? No shows.

Coleman...why is Coleman getting more grit in front of net? Why is Coleman getting chances that our 'more talented' players arent getting sniffs of?

Because when 'Talent doesnt work hard, hard work beats talent.'

Yeah, it was a back-to-back, but if you want to be signing a bunch of guys at the tail-end of their 20s and/or on the wrong side of 30 you'd better expect that the second night of a back-to-back is going to be tough. You cant just forfeit it.

Frustrating as hell.
