Sunday's Dump & Chase: The Kids Are All Right

I'm not going to lie, I'm not "okay" with losing to the Dallas Stars on any night, much less to a Spezza hat trick, but the youngins performed quite well. It's not time to move on from our current corps of Weber, Josi, Fisher, and Rinne, but it's nice to be able to dress three rookie defensemen and not get blown out. Props.
