I will give them a pass for last night.
Long trip and two games in a row.
They came out strong in both cases.
We may not always get effort from start to finish, but my it's nice to have a lead in the beginning and learn how to defend to a win.
And that we don't fold with a goal scored against us.
Vladar lost it when his mask came loose and he wasn't able to get the play stopped.
He has to learn the Mike Smith greasy hair shake to get it off.
That loss of focus resulted in another goal.
What's also nice is that we have people on the same page.
Not sure if Tkachuk is PO'd about minutes, but if so he is the only one.
Everyone else is sucking it up.
For offense, I would like to see it spread out a bit better.
Not happy that we have Ritchie play in the top 6, and Tkachuk is yet to really bear down and contribute.
One EN goal and a PP goal, plus one assist.
Mangiapane and Lindholm are scoring almost all of the goals.
And it seems like only Gaudreau and Dube are creating this offense.
Early yet, but that has to change.
