Wow, McGregor made Guillard look like a grade-A chump in this one. Melvin, who cemented his spot in this tourney by being a former champ, and #1 ranked LW, didn't look Zenith-ready at ALL. Welcome to the big time, kid. Better luck...eventually? Pretty sure he has the big-show experience, not sure why he caved this season. Team morale?
