Boro/Cowen, Hoffman drama, and of course Chris Neil in today's Five Thoughts!
1. That Borowiecki/Cowen pairing
Mark Borowiecki and Jared Cowen don't make a good pairing. That much seems pretty clear to most. They're decent on the PK, but they get hemmed in when they can't just ice the puck. Cowen's looked pretty good with Chris Wideman actually (in a very small sample size). The problem is the two of them were out there in the last two minutes of last night's game defending a lead. I don't know why they get the reputation of being good defensively.
