Some shaky points in the 3rd but overall thought we played really well. Appropriately physical - not running around chasing hits and o-zone penalties but strong in our end. Really like stemps and Bennett being back is huge.
Posted this in the game thread but I'm curious...
I'm curious - for those of you who don't immediately mute Milbury/Jones/Roenick etc - what does he say about guys like Kronwall, Rinaldo, Chris Neil, or especially Marchand? Is he at least consistent (I mean I doubt it but I'm curious)?
If toews braces for the hit and has his head up, it's not anything out of the ordinary. No idea what he was doing there, looks like he completely fell asleep. And I tend to err much more on the 'protect/respect the players and don't launch in' side.
