7 games in 11 days and they take 11 of 14 points, truly amazing. At the same time, despite scoring 4 goals a game, they didn't play at such a level that should convince they're perfect the way they are.
Yeah. Don't get me wrong. I'm happy with the points. Especially since SJ is playing well, and the Coyotes really aren't that far behind us. However, I think it's important to note that some of these teams are pretty bad. The only teams that I think are strong competition on that trip would be Pittsburgh and Chicago. Philly, Calgary, Vancouver, and Edmonton are horrible. The points are great, especially considering the guys were probably tired. However, those are games that are must wins really. No reason we should be losing to teams like that.
I just hope Murray knows this team isn't good enough as is.
Getzlaf was fantastic tonight. He really loves playing against the Western Canadian teams. He's just so much quicker now than he was a couple months ago. Also a lot stronger on the puck.
I think it's pretty obvious now that the offseason injury was really affecting him. I still think it is, just not as much.
A player can literally be the worst skater on the ice, but if he somehow manages to get a flukey goal he'll be one of the stars - at least in a low-scoring game.
The three stars, more often than not, seem to be pulled out of someone's ass instead of reflecting on ice dominance.
Yeah, unfortunately that's true. I think Sami was really good last night though. I just don't see how he gets the #1 star. Oh well, doesn't matter.
