Not sure how Bennett or Ferland would do on the right side, but at least have Jones up there instead of Colborne

I'd rather see Raymond honestly.

I don't hate Colborne like some but it sure isn't a good fit. Needs someone fast or physical or both. Bennett except he doesn't play RW (would be his 3rd position this year). Ferkland maybe. Even Raymond would be a possible better fit - he skates fast and shoots at least and even has been a little more physical lately. Or just a straight ahead guy like Jones or Bouma.

We don't all see it. There's no shortage of Colborne apologists. Some even tell us he's a possession player.

I like Colborne - he is just much better suited playing with Jooris and Backlund. They can cycle the puck down low and wear out the other teams without getting a shot on net.

That's getting a bit old - you know that poster said he liked to keep possession- not that he was a possession stats guy. And that's exactly the complaint tonight - he takes possession of the puck too much on that line.

Backlund would have had a tap in if he kept skating and didn't Taylor Hall on the play.

I do like Colborne. Just not on the top line

The problem is Colborne is trying to play a skill game, and he doesn't have the skill. So he ends up just skating the puck around the ice in circles and then eventually turning it over
Before any real threat took place.

He definitely has the skill just not the willpower or brain.
