I just figure that the best way to beat a hot goaltender like we faced tonight is to get a guy who can pass and set up shots. Backstrom was the only playmaker on our roster tonight and one of the biggest problem areas was passing. Adding another playmaker like Morrison should help in Game 2. As for the scratch I think that had to do more with the fact that Bruce was confident he could give the older guys like Morrison and Walker a rest so they could be fresh when (if) we get deeper into the playoffs.
