‘Thompson is on a 29-goal pace over 82 games this season. He earned a big contract with his two-straight big years of 38 goals and 47 goals. He can’t have three glorious chances and not score on any of them. Fair or not, his team counts on him, and when the puck is on his stick trailing by a goal with eight minutes left, it has to be in the net. Yes, he’s been much better recently and has looked more like himself, but that’s not good enough. It also doesn’t help that Jeff Skinner has been totally invisible since coming back from injury nine games ago. He has no goals and one assist in that time, and Granato said Monday that Skinner is 100% healthy.’
