Screw off will you, Backlund has obviously been one of the standout players for us. Ferland's only got 1 more point, should we bench him too?
He's had one good game the entire series. When your 2nd line center has 1 point he's not been good and tonight he's been terrible in an important game where he talked some smack.
Hartley really needs to change the system next year. I don't care what kind of success we had this year, you can't play kitty bar the door in the defensive zone and hope to have long term success.

Because point contribution is all that matters, yup, you really get this game.
It does when you are a 2nd line center. If you think he's been great this series you really don't get this game. Take it to PM though if you want to argue a losing battle.

Yeah I didn't think this style would be successful in the playoffs. If this game goes to game 7 it's hard to imagine them pulling it out spending the majority of the game in their own end like the past two games.
