Had family obligations all day, so sipping scotch and watching this game now.

The Ras goal, wow. Awesome sauce from Raymond. I thought he was out of room, but he deployed some marinara mitts at the last second there. And then Ras staring him down after the goal, he was obviously grateful but those Ras eyes…. He looked like he was about to murder poor Lucas.

And now the Fabbri goal lol. When things are going right, things are going right I guess. Please don’t tell me we go ahead and lose this game

both Raymond's assists were great. I thought to myself now he has to shoot or pass, but he waited for a split of a second and then threaded a perfect pass to Rasmussen for an easy slam dunk goal. The look by Rasmussen was wrong. It was like "I want to kill you"

That goal and Schenn hitting the post was obvious that the hockey gods decided to help us.

It is a strange feeling when you think you don't want your team to score more and humiliate the opponent even more.

Yzerman spent the game trying to shoot lasers from his eyes at the St. Louis players.

And now the Rasmussen death stare makes sense. He signed the extension and the soul link was completed.

I hope the meaning of that chronology is that they were struggling to add defense to their approach, but are finally starting to figure it out.

They clearly changed the plays at defence on christmas time. Crazy pinching was over on o-zone and risky passes disappeared.

GAA started going instantly down. We lost also some offence, but gained a lot more at defence.

That's the winning way.

At same time before the change I started questioning the coaching staff and Lalonde, but man, did they respond in a perfect way at same time. Now I trust them 100%.

Also keep in mind the crazy schedule before Christmas did not allow for much in the way of practice time, especially impacted the team with the December injuries, team play always gets better with practice, especially defense. They still have a way to go, but looking at the schedule the rest of the year, they should have lots of practice time.

Someone did mention that some days off for full practices was going to be key

They changed the system. Practise or not. Big turning point for this season.

Not sure they followed a system in December, haha
