The minus-19 has already been mentioned. The PP has been better but still is below average. I look at this as an opportunity for some other guys to show what they can do.

He is a -19 and was playing terrible defensive hockey. (If that was, in part, due to the injury, I don't know.) If some of the other boys step up I'm really not that worried.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
