A guy goes to public skate to work on his butterfly and suddenly his team wins! Yay! Glad to see that nilly bounced back. It will be interesting if the media runs with the "one bad" goal narrative with him too since he has let in some poor ones (check my GDT posts) in the last three games. I suspect not.
I do want to say that I watched the first period and have something to say. Look, Dorsett is a good soldier. But the absolute you-know-what licking he is getting from the media is out of hand. First of all, where was that fight in other games when we gave up a poor 1st goal? Second, even as a person who really enjoys watching a fight that fight had nothing to do with momentum swing in this game. They didn't pick it up until the 7 minute mark and gave up a goal before that. Also, this fits the same pattern of play they showed in other games and most recently in SJ, when Dorsett didn't fight.
Dorsett deserved all the praise in the world in that 6 game stretch but now that whole line has crashed back to earth. He has one point in 8 games. Credit where credit is due, when it is due. I don't know why it's so hard to say that he was decent for 5 games, phenomenal for 6 games, and now back to normal for the last 7.
