Massive 2 points for the team. We were a bit lucky tonight. We got outplayed for the most part especially after the first period (I thought we had a good first). Jets probably deserved a better fate, they played a hard game. That Schiefele/Wheeler/Connor line scares the sh*t out of me. But like many games this year, our special teams were better, which was the case tonight.
I am a bit critical of Smith a times, (he gives me anxiety) but he was awesome tonight.
RNH and Draisaitl were just massive in this game.
McDavid looks off to me. He is a wizard on the PP and makes the PP great but he just didnt look that great 5 on 5. Looked a little better 5 on 5 in the third. I hope its just rust from being injured and new linemates, and hes not playing hurt.
I like Ennis. Just an effective player out there. I am not going to crap on AA at this point like some people. Lets give him some time to adjust.
I thought Khaira had a much better game than usual but he really has no finish. At some point you just wish some of these bottom 6 guys would cash in.
Props to Archibald and Sheahan for drawing the penalties from working hard.
As much as I love the two points, this team just confuses me at times. I just expected them to play harder than they did tonight. Hopefully Yamamoto/Klefbom are back soon.
