Just a few random thoughts about the game...
... I made the right choice...it was raining when I left and raining again when I got back home...
... I was highly concerned after the first period that looked like an extension of the Sabres game, but Kempe's old school hip check seemed to spark the team and energize the crowd...
... Byfield played a much better game, way more physical and more involved...
... say what you want about Fiala, but he's the hardest worker on the ice, by far...
... I feel bad for Big Save Dave, who was outstanding. He should have had a shutout against the Red Wings and a won against the Sabres and had another shutout again today. He's playing like the #1 goalie right now, and the team needs him to keep coming up big time. I really like the guy...
...that 2 on 0 short-handed breakaway would have been hysterical if it wasn't so pathetic. The 2024 Los Angeles Kings version of Alphonse and Gaston.
All-in-all it was a really fun game, but I think we could have easily won 3 or 4 to zip.
