Nabby had some bad luck tonight. Made some big saves when it counted, including the shootout. Still want to know where the puck was on that phantom goal.
Team showed a lot of heart and grit in not giving up tonight. Big 2 points were badly needed. A few brainfarts that OTT took advantage of but a strong road game overall.
Amac had a bad play that lead to a goal, it was deflected off the forward. After that, he played very well, I was watching closely. Several strong plays in both zones. I liked the give-n-go with Vanek (I think).
Didn't like Vanek's shots on the breakaway and the shootout, but he gets a pass on those for now. But make a move man! He had a better game tonight, but needs to get his stamina up to keep up with the team. JT is trying to do too much on his own but he's leading by example. He may on the verge of a streak soon.
Hickey and Donovan are getting better. Both have great vision on the attack, great pass to Frans by Hickey. Donovan shows more poise in the O zone than on D, but held his own and played his most feisty game so far. Very nice play and patience on the 3 on 1. Potvin wasn't far off in saying young D need 300 games before they're seasoned, but I think even a half a season will do a lot for Donovan.
PMB and Regin getting more comfortable. PMB can really shoot with more power than expected and is skating a lot better than early on. Regin needs more strength to finish the things he starts but I can see him coming along and maybe winning us over. We shouldn't give up on these two so soon.
That was a relentless attack and we can expect more of that as the team gels. We're one of two or three teams that scored at least 2 goals in each game...
