– Travis Sanheim acknowledges that he was banged up in March, but says that he got his skating legs mostly all the way back by the end. It hampered his mobility for a bit.

Frost was a pro about it, said he could have played better the last couple of games. [Hall](https://twitter.com/JHallNBCS/status/1780621526884122894)
– Frost on the PP: I know a lot of the fans were frustrated with that. We were just as frustrated.
It’s obviously something that needs to be worked on. I take a fair amount of responsibility for that. But hopefully once it clicks, it can stay that way for a long time. [O’Connor](https://twitter.com/charlieo_conn/status/1780622262955057648)

“Potentially,” he said with a smile. [O’Connor](https://twitter.com/charlieo_conn/status/1780626165054554379)

  1. Atkinson is delusional and that can’t be good for a locker room next year.

    Tortorella did Couturier dirty. Massively overplayed him after two years off and then continued to lean on him while he was overly banged up, names him Captain out of the blue and then publicly shames him. Not the best team culture I could think of.

  2. NeverStopChasing28

    I’m sorry Cam, but its very clear the game has passed you by. It’s not like you had some good spurts mixed in with cold streaks. You just really didn’t meaningfully contribute in any way all season.

  3. ChiefBigCanoe

    The remaining gas in Cam’s tank should be used on the trip to the junk yard.

  4. Roll-Me-Through

    Can someone make a Cam Atkinson breakaway compilation for this season and send it Danny
