There really wasn't an opportunity to cheat or cover the puck. When we managed to touch the puck, it was given right back. The icing didn't help. I saw a lot of Lucic trying desperately to do stuff but he's slow on a good day. The only good thing was that it wasn't the entire 4th line and 3rd pairing out there.
Even after the 3+ minutes on the ice, Guddy managed to lay the body setting up Toffoli for a perfect pass to Lindholm. Weather the storm and kill the spirit.
There were several shifts where we owned the Nucks. Got changes and dominated. The lineup changes were to freshen things up, since Sutter thought the top guys were looking a bit stale. Not that it should stick, but it put people in places they have been in before, for the most part. Toffoli used to being on top PP unit, so there is chemistry there. Dube, Tkachuk and Backlund have played together and especially the latter two. Mange and Coleman. 4th line.
The important thing was for the team to avenge the loss and to get back to scoring. Demko was the perfect test, since scoring on him wasn't just an easy shot. No garbage goals, but we didn't need to go there.
