Back-to-back games where we are getting outmuscled and outplayed. Strange as the Dorion regime seemed to emphasize size and physicality in every decision they made.
Anyway, my 3 stars are:
- Tkachuk: mostly for his second half where he brought the team back to life. And I understand it's not possible to play like this the whole game.
- Joseph: mostly for his first half; again, I don't think it's possible to play with 100% energy the whole game.
- TaraSENko: he's showing that it's possible to play smart and with restraint and yet be responsible defensively while creative offensively. Unfortunately there aren't too many players like TaraSENko in the league.
The big dud:
- Hamonic, again.
