Really good accurate overview of the game .But It looked like they were on the penalty kill the Entire game. Penguins did play the a great game . Otter was the best player on the ice . Lost their physicality without the 2 big defenseman
Go Stars
Need to get more shots on goal. Been an issue since trade last year. Consistency finally evolved for the most part since trade. Now just need to shoot the puck!
Last night they just looked flat until the last half of the game. I am very happy to see Matt and Nil on the ice. I told my wife after their performance they seemed like they can turn it on anytime they want but it only seems like it's when they're behind! I will say my heart dropped when Faska went down, I thought, oh please Lord No, not another injured player but good to see him back on the ice afterwards.
If Nil finds the right player then Seguin needs to go on the season ending ltr
Wheres Harley?
Bennaissance part two?
Where’s Tomas Harley?
