Very important win, especially in light of the scores in the other games. The effort was decent, the execution not so much but we keep on scoring a lot and getting away with sloppy defending.
The last time Kessel scored with his trade mark wrist shot was December 27th. In the last five games he has only 6 shots, 4 of which were against Calgary when we threw everything but the kitchen sink at them in the third period. He has always been streaky but seeing him not even shoot much is very worrying. And his defensive "effort" on the second goal was appallingly bad. If he has a nagging injury, let him rest, forget about the stupid ironman streak.
Did he forget what Murray did last week against Philly? Not playing him against them would be insane even if DeSmith's recent numbers were better which they most certainly are not.

Said he was way worse than his stats indicated and that DeSmith should start against the Sharks and Philadelphia.
