Brkin was absolutely the difference. Could have easily lost. I wouldn't call the second period a stout defensive effort as we were again guilty of too many turnovers in transition.Sounds like it wasn't our best game offensively, but it was another stout defensive performance. Brkin played quite well and was a difference maker. Hopefully he's got things back on track after a really rough patch.
The problem with playing that way is you will only win when your goalie plays lights out (like last night). My expectation is that a goalie won't play like that enough to win enough games. We need to tighten up like we did vs Niagara so we can win even when our goalie isn't lights out.
If we turn over the puck too much and lose, is it the goalie's fault?
