Larsson looked better than I've seen him in avery long time last night.
The offense was nice, but his decision making was spot on, he seemed to read the play better than I remember him doing in the past. His decisions when to pull out of the offensive zone and go on defense were particularly noticeable. He was giving himself that extra half second to not get caught flat footed and establish a proper gap and his backward skating looked smooth and crisp...but I think that more to do with good reads than his skating. Being a step above the play eliminated the chasing that has plagued him...Larsson showed some real signs of figuring things out last night.
Hoping for more.
