It was a bad play by Colborne, who probably was chosen by Hartley to play against Thornton.

That said, being stripped of the puck happens. Gaudreau does it to other players all the time. And Thornton does it a fair bit too. It's not a good idea to bench players for a single mistake.

Not true. Ramo has been great.

Colborne refuses to play the body in the corner... Looking horrible

Colborne hasn't contributed positively to this team for a long time now.

We don't do things with the puck and it's annoying. Work hard and skate around with it but ends in a miss or a weak attempt. Futile offense.

I'm liking Backs/Jones effort though..

Even then, he's a good enough skater that he's going to force guys to make bad passes. And when they make those bad passes right to Sean Monahan and Johnny Gaudreau, it'll be over before Ferland finishes his check.

Well, just to be contrarian I will say Colborne played a big part on Wideman's power play goal the other night - he set a great screen.

Backlund off to a great start but he needs to stop shooting it to the chest.

Why doesn't this Backlund show up more often?

Without the shootout every third game Colborne has lost some effectiveness

I don't get why they made Johnny switch sides to let Ferland play.

I thought Couture was out long term or something. I guess he ate some magic beans and healed.

That was 5 on 6. That was a short handed ####ing goal. Pathetic
