Not sure I agree. I've been intrigued by Downey's role (aside from the enforcer) and have watched his play when he doesn't have the puck. He is constantly falling down, missing pucks and wasting a great deal of energy. And he did hurt the team last night by failing to clear the puck from the zone which resulted in the goal on Osgood. I'm certainly not saying that he was alone in the failure to move the puck, and the wings have been struggling with getting the puck out their zone lately. But he does seem to be the weakest link on the ice, just watch the next game and you'll see what I'm talking about. At least McCarty made smart controlled plays and put the puck in the net.
