Unheralded too were the shot blocks from Cozens and Greenway on that one late PK. Both hobbled, both stuck it out.

hot take .... turning point of this Team (this season) scoring the tying goal 2 minutes after the Carolina went up 2 - 1 in the 3rd period
Krebs hardest hit of the night is right after this as he jumps into Power to celebrate.
It might be. Let's hope they continue to build from there.

EJ had a great shot block on the same kill too.

Eh we'll see. I just want to be entertained the rest of the year.
I will say it does seem like they're finally able to see the details of the defensive side of the game.. But it just hasn't come with the scoring yet.
I said in the thread but that, some roster tinkering in the spots we've talked about ad nauseam and removing the special team coaches and putting in someone who can make it even average.. and I think we're confident going into next year.
That pic is what Power and his twelve year old kid are going to look like in 2040.

I think we need more data as Krebs has really been on the past week and a half or so. I wonder if that's the new him.
JJP is still a grab bag of all kinds of stuff, and the other two often have to cover up for him..but he creates a lot too. Same can be said for Krebs but little by little the bad plays are becoming less frequent. Benson is learning how to use JJP and they're getting offensive chemistry.
Is Cozens a winger now? Suddenly we need Mitts at C.
I mean, if they can figure a way toward doing that consistently... it isn't visually what I was expecting but if they're not giving up a lot of high danger stuff, I'll take it.

They make high danger plays, but don't give up high danger chances. Works for me.
At the moment, he's the RW on that line. Perhaps that's their solution - Mitts centering the 2nd line with Cozens shifted to wing - to Quinn being out. It gets weird to think what happens if/when they move Girgensons. Who gets that mucking duty? Do they push someone in from Rochester or do they shuffle someone in from outside?
Also that Mitts line had poor showing tonight. I didn't get to see who they matched up with for two periods, curious if that continues or if they go back to being stronger at 5-on-5 than not like they were after being put together. Could be just a bad matchup night.
It's weird to have that after so long of it being both always, isn't it?

On OP's shootout move and how Casey has taken from him to start something of his own.

Sure is. They still seem to give away the puck a lot but only in the ozone, but they can recover more easily, and they don't do it in the dzone anymore. Can probably chalk that up to more chemistry with the D too.

Cozens playing his best hockey of the year imo. Keep him with Greenway

Nah. That rule is never going to be invoked unless a player either loses the puck and stops to pick it back up, or starts skating backward. Anything else is fair game.

Finally at .500
We take 3 of 4 points in Florida and gonna be some optimism heading into the deadline.

The middle two lines have been keeping this team in games the past week. Finally getting chemistry going.

Which is absolutely a good thing (obviously). Tage is getting to prime areas he just can't put the puck in. Will come eventually and hopefully we can string some entertaining hockey to finish the season.

Great win but should have been playing like this since November. Too little too late just like last year
Bunting is so irritating. Didn't realize Aho was a bit dirty. Got away with at least 2 slashes.
Anyway, that was one of the more entertaining and better played games of the year. Luuuk looking like a very legit starter this year. There were a lot of good things in this game, but Bryson and Power deserve props for an overall unexpectedly good game.
