That was a lot of fun, heck of a 2 games vs rochester despite only getting 1 pt, we played very well offensively but had some issues in net and on the blueline.

McNiven struggled today but he made some good saves in OT.

Poehling had a good game offensively but not so good defensively.

This was Ylonen's best game imo, hope this gets him going

Roy after a good first shift was quiet, coaching staff better get this shit worked out, you have to have one of your best players contributing to this, last 2 games we could have used him in a prime role imo. Granted I don't know what's going on in practice and such.

The defense has shown at times it needs to tighten up a lot.

I don't know what they will do with McNiven, if the plan will be to just keep him or trade him but both goalies did not have the best weekend, although the defense didn't help matters, they still let in at least one they shouldn't have and when you lose both games by 1 goal, it just stands out more.

If it's Primeau/McNiven all year, I suspect we will be in good hands especially if they get some help on the blueline soon as the boys are off for the next 7 days but then play 7 games over 2 weeks.
