Anyone else still pumped from last night's win?
Am i the only nerd out here? Show your faces.
Oh yeah. That was kind of the signature win I was looking for. I mentioned it after the B's game and IC did last night as well but all of these moral victories with no results were coming to a head. Frustration starts to take over.
Not gonna lie I was also very happy and relived to see the team's second most important player and oft target for criticism have a big game. Malkin needed that confidence even though he was playing well, generally. He didn't show up in the scoring column for it but that effort to create the game winner last night was crucial and JUST what I want to see.
Sid and Guentzel are a little rough right now but I've learned not to worry about that.
These young defensemen coming into their own in Marino, MP and Riikola is very nice to see, too. That will solve a lot of problems if they continue down their current path. What a steal in Marino... my goodness.
