This game was a missed opportunity for our Senatores. With PK out for some of the game, and no Pacioretty, we found a way to lose. They were just better than us in game 1, and that extended through the forwards, defence, and goaltending.
I only see one other person here saying that Bobby R should be benched, but I fully agree with that. The guy has points in 3 of the last 20 games, and that's with the team red hot. He's contributing nothing, and looks tentative on offense. I know we're not deep on offense on RW, ESPECIALLY if Stone is not healthy anymore, but take Ryan out and put Neil in. Neil would've probably had points in about 3 of the last 20 games, while bringing more of a physical edge. I like Bobby as much as anyone, but the guy is not right.
Dave Cameron shouldn't have stated we'll be out for revenge...that sort of thing can go un-said.
I would agree that PK should get a game or two suspension. You see guys get suspended all the time for delivering dirty bodychecks to puck carriers...well in this case, it wasn't a "hockey play" (slashing isn't a hockey play), and Stone didn't have the puck. Yeah, maybe he was just trying to slash Stone's stick or whatever which you see many times a game, but he certainly missed the stick.
Hopefully Hammond the rest of the group are little less nervous for Game 2 and we can settle down a bit.
