The team defense has been by no means perfect but the try levels are just so much better. Oesterle has done some dumb stuff but he's moving and trying to step up. Bush is staying safe and throwing hits. Chych is taking over the squad.

Boy we're trying really hard to gift wrap the momentum to Edmonton.

That awkward moment when you play better without your $12m top pair

Was thinking the same thing. Almost like the other 5 saw Ness and just thought “oh f*** we can’t do this again”

Feels like the usual effort from the folks we've come to expect it from, and a bit more try from the typical passengers without resulting in a tangible increase in their "visibility" thus far. The SH goal felt a bit against the run of play at the time, and seemed to break their building momentum for a bit... But they definitely seemed to come back into the game the last 8 minutes or so of the second. We still seem to be out-hustling the majority of the loose pucks and winning a good chunk of the 50/50s.

6am here so doubtful I'll be able to hold out for the 3rd. Hopefully they don't let off.

I think the hustle and try have been noticeably better from all players, even the Kessel line. It is almost like they read HF, because I am sure nothing Tocchet has said would get this reaction.

We're actually getting sticks in lanes and breaking up predictable passes for once. Usually they all just stand around and hope for the best.

Can we petition Chayka to send Keller to the Conor Garland Fantasy Hockey Camp this off-season?

Glad I stayed up for this "powerplay". Shambolic. Scrambling to maintain possession.
