Franson getting outmuscled by Cullen there wasn't exactly impressive. Roy beating Phaneuf to the puck isn't great, but, Roy is one of the better skaters in the game. He's gonna get ahead of a lot of people.

I don't get that pairing at all.

Nope, it ALL Dion's fault.
 
I know people want to say that top D men get exposed semi regularly but it seems almost a nightly occurrence with Dion.

And last time I checked Derek Roy wasn't one of those "top players in the league" that Phaneuf is credited with having to play against.

Personally, I'd bench the guy for a game for a start.
 
At some point Randy might want to consider breaking up the top line and not playing Clarkson with Kadri. He does it for like 2 shifts at a time and then goes straight back to what isn't working.
 
I literally just sat down to watch a bit of the game, I turn on the TV, I see Roy score, I turned it off. I honestly have better things to do tonight.

There really is no situation where they make sense together. Their weaknesses just expose the other's. It's all kinds of bad.

Well his defensive assignment scored the goal. Even if it's 50% his fault he gets some credit for getting lit up by some pretty weak players.

What did they say? Roy's 1st goal in 38 games?

Sweet.

I'm to the point in my life where my Xmas list consists entirely of things like, "Please send me Peter Horachek as Interim Coach."
 
First goal in 30 some games. Best way to get one of your players out of a slump. Hope for a trip to TO and throw him out there against our highest paid dman.
