Frank Corrado

Can you put together a stretch of games here?

Because he couldn't earlier in the season, clearly, and now he's had to do it again, or he might have to do it again.

As a goalie, as a player, as an athlete, will you ever have that moment where it's not this thing is looming because you've started X amount of games in a row?

I wonder if that can be the case for him here.

Yeah.

Let me ask you guys this.

Who's more disappointing, New Jersey or Washington, as far as teams that aren't in the playoffs right now?

Because both those teams were supposed to be way better, and Pittsburgh and the Islanders are staring down at them right now.

Yeah, that's a tough one.

That's the players-only meeting.

They're the new players-only meeting team.

They might be.

You know what's crazy about Washington's little scuffle here is that Tom Wilson goes out of the lineup just after New Year's, like January 3rd, I think.

He came back in that loss to Vancouver, but without Tom Wilson, they couldn't win two games in a row.

That guy...

I know we talk about him a lot for being big, strong, menacing, all that kind of stuff.

It feels like that's the guy that stirs the drink on that team.

Without him, they didn't have any juice.

Brucie, if you're coaching and you're in the room, whether it's a player or a coach, what do you do in this situation?

Do you try and get him through this game?
