What a win!

Much agreed. 2pts. Seattle is a hard team. I'll take it.

Little sloppy with turnovers at times in this one but 2 point in the bank again and a tidy 9-game streak to go along with it.

We won't be scoring 5+ goals every night so we need to know how to win the close ones.

All too often in years past we weren't able to shut the door with a one goal lead so this was a gutsy effort.

Gio started something at the end of the game.

There was no reason for it.

Ran Backlund after the horn.

Tkachuk did a fly by hit to remind him.

Gio went ballastic and made a dirty play on Tkachuk.

Maybe deserved, but it seemed like Gio being a dick.

 

Jarnkrok went to check on Backlund, which I thought was classy.

 

This was a tough game, where the other team plays physical (have some big bodies).

Kept us from getting a lot of chances in close.

But Grubauer is the reason why they weren't outscored 5-1.

Had a playoff feel to it.

 

The winning streak wears on you.

We won't win 40 in a row, so if and when we lose, get back on another streak.

Ya. I saw that at the end there with Gio. The first game against us he scored the opening goal, and my guess is that he wanted to make some kind of impact on this game - and with time running out, he maybe looked for a big hit. The intent may not have been there, but it did look bad. The scrum afterwards, with Chucky getting a lick in there on Gio makes me feel there’s some truth to the rift between the two after the Muzzin incident.
