Filppula is a UFA next season , I say let him walk and use the money towards a quality D , I don't know whats up with Smith but he hasn't looked much better against the Hawks than he did first game of the season . Mule ? I like Babcock but if Bowman were the coach he would have been sat a couple of times already for lack of effort . And if I were Babcock I wouldn't use Brunner on the point . I watch other games and notice how quickly other teams D gets the biscuit out , thats what I want to see vs limp dick attempts that end up in our net lol
