It was great to get that first win, but they need to be a lot better if they get to the next round. There's a lot better teams after Syracuse. For me, the D played well and the PK was excellent. The PP was bad (even though they scored 2, they had 7 opportunities and barely registered shots). Quite a few of the top players have been generally invisible, especially RHP. Ylonen gets a goal, then pretty much disappears. Dea hasn't been much of a factor either.
As much as I rag on Primeau, I thought he played really well in game 2. I thought he was just good in game 3. Some said he was awesome. He was barely challenged. Keep in mind, Syracuse had 7 penalties. That's almost 14 minutes without their top scorers. Primeau still had trouble keeping track of pucks and got spun around one or 2 times. The goaltending will need to be stellar if they get to round 2. The PP needs to be much better and at least generate more shots. Lastly, the top scorers need to show up.
