The stars played like stars and scored goals. The D contributed a lot offensively with some great assists and a goal. While the D had some lapses I was proud of the way they played an overall disciplined game. Calgary is not easy at all to defend. They are going to generate some good looks. The D held strong in the end. Several of the Bs forwards were awful in their own end and made it more challenging for the D and Halak. Carlo was a pillar tonight. Moore was not perfect, but he was also very good.
As so many on here can plainly see -- this team could be dangerous in the playoffs with a scoring winger on the second line. They are good enough now to compete for a playoff spot, but not good enough to get to the finals. A scoring winger changes things. Sure, a 3C would also be a very nice add, but I feel that there is enough already in the system to make for a good third line, so it's not the top priority. Something needs to be done about Acciari. He is absolutely gosh awful offensively. He flubbed up as easy a 3 on 1 tonight as a person could hope for. He just flat out sucks offensively and is overrated defensively. I get that he tries hard and hits people, but that's not good enough. He wouldn't even be a healthy scratch on an elite team. He's basically a wasted spot when he's in the lineup. Bruce has blinders on regarding Acciari.
In any case it was a great win and 2 pts that take some of the sting away from losing to one of the crap teams the Bs lost to in December.
