This is one of those that AV would say 'I thought we played well. We had lots of good looks'.
I don't know. About half way through the second period I had this intuiton that we were going to get shut out. Now Desharnais did kick one in but that feeling never left me. I think Halak played well but IMO he was far from outstanding. I don't think the shots he faced were for the most part all that difficult. He got lucky on a shot off the post by Skjei in first. He had a couple that almost slithered between his legs. A lot of the Rangers shots seemed to be coming off the boards.
It just wasn't a good game to me apart from the fact that we kept some of the numbskull mistakes down.
Thematically, I have no problem with point shots. It's the way we have to play. A simple and foundational game. Get the fundamentals down for these kids. Worry about razzle dazzle later.
