Back from game, finally got on here..
That was Blackwoods best game for a shootout victory. I was so shocked that we went so many rounds. I was dreading the boston sealing the SO with a goal at the last few rounds. MB i think learning how to be better in the shootout, only once was he beaten so cleanly with a good move. Severson playing redeemer with that fancy move, thank god it was on right net this time
NJ played well during the later stages of the game, I actually felt confident somewhat that they could come back in this one. After the middle second period, you could see the chances developing.
Maybe Boston wasn't on their game fully (although 1st period they controlled the play in the early goings, and generally Boston's passing was tape to tape all game long).
For NJD, passing was still not ideal all game long, but loved the way they dug into this game and got their win. The defensive zone play still somewhat reminscient of Hynes defensive zone system, but I think they're doing better collecting the puck and making the "smarter" move.
I saw Wood skate off mid-game, but wasn't sure if he came back on later? Can anyone confirm, I don't remember seeing him later in 3rd.
Oh and the ping and the mis-goal horn was epic. What a loud ping that was, no wonder the button man hit the horn...
Anyway good to see this group play a complete game and gut out the win against a solid team.
