Got on the train at Richmond, and was checking the scores. 1-3 Got off at Southern cross, 4-3.
Just watched the replay. Crawford not entirely at fault for all 3 goals, the defence was poor (Looking at you Kane), and Crawford is easily rattled. He was shaky in OT. I would love to dump his contract and just roll with Darling/Raanta, but I know that's not going to happen.
As for Vermette. Did we over pay? Maybe. A dime a dozen defender who was buried in Rockford + a first round pick between 27-30 who isn't going to help us anytime soon. Vermette has been excellent at the face-offs, has added much needed centre depth, and allows Shaw to play on the wing. I'm happy with him.
