Back in the early 2000s there was a netminder named Roman Cechmanek whose puck-stopping was so erratic he was dubbed the “Bipolar Goaler.”
Well, Cechmanek has nothing on our Casey DeSmith. In his latest in a seemingly unending string of on-again, off-again performances, Casey was off again last night.
Very off.
Three nights after stealing a victory at San Jose almost single-handed, DeSmith made like a sieve in our disturbing 5-4 come-from-in-front loss to the Islanders on Long Island.
Casey giveth. And Casey taketh away.
I won’t mince words.
