Funny you mention Doughty. I really like the kid, but is it me or did it seem he was on the ice the entire game (especially in the 3rd period)?

and he was their swing man on the point on PP as well, he had to log the most ice time for all defencemen.
as far as who's to blame, its gonna fall directly on Yzerman, could have told you that when he made his final roster. To bring guys like pronger back for another go around, you knew there was gonna be hell to pay if they didn't win gold. To bad a lot of peoples judgement is clouded and they cant come to grips with benching a HOF goalie, all the while its the right thing to do.
