While it can be true that they weren't the reasons they lost this game, it is also true that the team is better off without the 2 of them
I don't see how the team is better off with out Guddy if they don't bring in someone to replace him.
You saw that last night. He grabbed maroon and let him know early that shizzzzzzzznit wasn't going to fly here.
And that was it because no one on that smaller TB team wanted a piece of him. He was more than willing to drop those gloves with them.
No he's not on the ice, and then what does that game end up looking like?
These are just facts of life. Sure you can make the argument the team is better off without him. But I have yet to see it. He hasn't played "bad." He's been ok for a 3rd pairing guy. I'm not sure what you think most people have on their 3rd pairing but they don't bring as much to the ice as Guddy does.
If his contract was 2 mil less you wouldn't even argue this. But you see a number and a bunch of people go, "he's so awful" and that's what you think.
This team doesn't have other people who brings what he does, and trading it out puts you right back there.
That's how you ended up with Reaves, then Big Rig, and when he wasn't willing to get it done, you ended up with GUddy.
So ask yourself, who are you going to replace him with, and are they any better and capable of doing what he does?
When you realize the answer is you can't think of one, than that's that.
