I feel like Monahan's finishing ability has even gone to a greater level this year. The ease and confidence with which he finishes chances in the slot is just ridiculous.
It's funny cause they've played the same amount of backups as us this year.We totally owe this win to the Oilers. I mean if teams didn't keep playing their starters against them, we wouldn't have backups to steal wins from and we'd be where they are in the standings
I know it's been mentioned enough, but holy **** I still can't believe we got Tkachuk where we did in the draft. What a gift. This kid is the total package, and to think he's only 19...
It's a bit of a trade-off, isn't it? One of my favourite games I was at was sitting row 2 behind the net (to the side a little) in Vancouver. The only goal of the game was scored by Michael Frolik right in front of me. What a rush that was. And of course, when the puck was down in the other end or in the neutral zone, it was hard to figure out how plays were developing. But you get all the emotion and intensity that's going on on the rink at a much closer vantage point. Sitting by the benches is also really cool for that reason. You get to see so much more than on TV.Awesome game to be at, especially since we got upgraded from PL to Row 12 of the lower bowl.
Hard to see the game from there though. Going to have to watch the highlights to get more of an idea of how the goals looked.
