Because Hamrlik's care level was high. I can understand the frustration people have for the guy on one goal but geez he made up for that and more. To give some of the offence half a chance he held the zone numerous times, screened in front of the net, tried backdoor, picked up two assists. I don't get all the hate. He played that much maybe because effort wasn't there from others. He was totally gassed at the end.
I don't get the start for Auld. If Vancouver took that much out of Price to not start this game then the win in Vancouver is meaningless. I put a lot of this loss on the coach frankly and for the most part I support Martin.
Plekanec was annoying tonight because he just seemed to bail out a few times.
The penalty kill should welcome Sopel with open arms. Gill was awful. If he's not killing penalties he's useless. When this team is down he can't be on the ice hence Subban I guess can't either.
