alright elliot with a little help from the post but we got it done. Strong win after embarrassing performance last night

25 minutes for Foote vs LA, 18 vs Anaheim, and 22 minutes tonight vs SJ. Good road trip for him to gain more confidence and experience.

Scorey Perry has been making some really nice efforts lately

 

[Maelmoor]

I love our ability to bounce back after a bad game! Shows the pride and character of this group!

Ross the Boss heating up!

Ok, whoever had Elliot with a .964 SV% please produce your betting ticket.

You're buying all of us a round.

 

[HanTykje]

Good game, overall nothing to pick on.

If Ross Colton winds up a 40 point, bottom-six player...

It doesn't seem like we're gonna have trouble replacing the offense we lost last year, at least not when we're running healthy. What we're still working on, IMO, is the poise. The last couple of years we would go into Machine Mode. We would get a small lead and snuff teams out. I don't think we're quite there yet, BUT Colton and Perry look capable of stepping in for Gourde and Coleman offensively.

Agree, though I think poise is an odd framing. Shutdown defensive forward play is a legitimate skill set, not just the byproduct of keeping your poise. Coleman, Goodrow and Gourde were each special in that department, moreso because they also produced offensively like they did. Additionally, everyone on the team is fit (although PEB is old), but not many guys are on Gourde's level and that's a big factor in third period shutdown play.
