I'd love to see some sort of 'territorial advantage' graphic from last night's game. Moreso than the shots on net, the whole game seemed to be played in the Sens' end. But they didn't get that many quality scoring opportunities, Andy was great but it wasn't like he had to be spectacular. And then poor Marty on the other end looking like a lame duck giving up 2 on 11 when they were both good goals and one was a 2 on 0.
Sure was nice seeing the skill level last night on that 2 on 0. Just the little things like Alfie's pass being perfect so as to not get tipped by the D or the goalie yet easy enough to handle cleanly, that it was handled cleanly and buried by 9mm, that Milo's pass to Alfie was handled. During the losing streak we had some chances die on little miscues like bobbled passes or a split-second hesitation that killed an opportunity. And Pageau's tip was a beauty. This season has been characterized by grit and puck-luck, you know? Nice to see some of our skill on display.
And yes, I just posted that after an 11 shot win. hahaha... but you know - took advantage... or something.
