I liked our 3rd period. Really thought that was a bad penalty to take at the end and basically cost us the game (although that’s a pretty obvious statement).
I don’t want to turn this post-game rant into the whole Ehlers thing, but I couldn’t help but notice how good the top line looked in the 3rd period when they did the switch to have 27-55-13. And considering how great they played earlier this year together and how much we were winning with that combo, I think that’s a positive if it stays that way. Time will tell if that was a short experiment or not.
At this stage in the season, the seeding matters less in my view if we don’t win the central (we won’t). Other than winning the central I don’t know if the seeding makes much of a difference matchup wise. But we do have to find our game. There are enough games left to do that. Glad we’re sorting this out now and not in 2 weeks, I guess.
