There was literally not one thing to not like about our game today.
1) Bob was good.
2) He wasn’t great because we gave up few grade-A chances so he didn’t have to be great.
3) Great PP.
4) Strong PK when we needed it.
5) Awesome start.
6) After aforementioned awesome start, we played a smart game. Mostly avoided safe is death. Clogged up the neutral zone. Made sure we didn’t give up odd-man rushes. “Mucked it up.” Essentially the opposite of what Tampa did against us after they went up 3-0 on Wednesday.
7) Showed poise and a great response as a team at literally the only time we faced adversity tonight.
8) Despite making sure we didn’t give up anything stupid defensively (see #6), our forwards were still aggressive on the forecheck, even while leading late in the 3rd, which turned into goals 4 and 5.
