Despite this being an overall disappointing season, we've had some great instances where you can't help but say to yourself "I am damn excited for the future!" This was by far the biggest one I've seen yet.
In the 2nd Period, Howden, Trocheck, and Pirri absolutely made my jaw hit the floor with the effort they were giving against the Sharks and were giving them fits. Then, in the 3rd, I guess our defense decided to disappear, but my god did Luongo save the day. No disrespect to Tim Thomas, but I don't think the Panthers would have won that game with him in net.
Obviously, that 3rd Period also showed that our defense still needs some major upgrades. I know we had Gudbranson out, but we can never let up 29 shots in a period again. We're so lucky that only one goal was scored thanks to Luongo. However, nevertheless, that was an amazing game and I am so excited from what I've seen from these prospects. We really do have a lot to look forward to in a few years
