At this point isn't it better to just waive Komi and give another D-man a shot? Holzer, Aulie whoever?
I mean the guy sits for a huge amount of time, and isn't likely to step in and handle big minutes well, and surprise he has a meltdown and fans will jump all over him.
We're in the middle of a playoff race, and we're putting in the guy who flat out can't play. I don't get this team. Meritocracy my left foot....
I'd waive Phaneuf before I'd ditch Komi. And I'm (almost) serious. You cannot have a captain playing like crap in his own end more games than not.
Watched repeated highlights of both goals and not sure what Phaneuf did so bad defensively? He was at the end of a shift on the first one and was kind of running around, but that was due to reacting to a shot that missed the net and went around the boards - it was the forwards (Lupul/Bozak) who completely missed the Flames guy come in off the boards.
The second goal - well, terrible line change and Komisarek.
