Great team game, finally. Not sure why we need to get to desperation point to play with a 60 minute effort though.
The lines were good today and I'm hoping Tippett keeps them as-is for the next game.
Solid Defensive effort from the whole team tonight. Leading 4-1 going into the 3rd we controlled the play and out-shot CBJ. In the last 10 minutes of the 3rd I think CBJ was only able to get 1 or 2 weak shots on net vs the Oilers who were pushing hard for another goal. I love that we didn't relent at any point or give them much/any hope.
Persson back in really changes the look of the back end. My goodness what a difference. And we thought we were going to miss Larsson. Drai is just a beast. He'll likely end up with more pts than McDavid this year, and I'm good with that. Khiara with a goal and a hit. Huh. Keep him with Nuge for the time being. They seem to play well together.
The team needed this win to get out of the funk they were in. Hopefully they can build off this. 1 month into the season and we're sitting 4th overall in the league. As frustrating as some of the losses have been, I'm content as a fan so far.
