I'm honestly a little surprised at the reaction here. We lost in a freaking shootout. So the **** what?
We dominated the first period. Got put on our heels a bit in the second, but the Blues never actually *did* anything. They just chipped and dumped and chased the whole damn time. I never saw a grade-A scoring chance from them that whole time (save the single goal, obviously). We kept them to the perimeter. Then we dominated them in the third, completely. Ran them over, extended zone time with chance after chance after chance, and finally tied it up in the last five minutes.
THEN we dominated them in overtime, generated a ton of shots and some really nice opportunities.
I came out of this game pumped. If we played like this every night, we'd be legitimate cup contenders. I could care less about the ****ing shootout.
