”Tim Connolly is having a fine series in his own end, but he has to step up his game offensively. There were moments in this game where he showed the skill to take it to the next level but he hasn’t put in that killer instinct. It’s unfair that he’s saddled with the responsibility of being the team’s only true offensive center — Brad Boyes is a much better winger than middleman — but good players make it happen in the opponent’s zone. He’s done it just once through two games.”
