Fun, entertaining hockey when Minnesota comes to town.
I was very impressed that the shot blocking from the GLI carried over so well to last night- as our guys did an amazing job getting in front of all of the shots. Which helped Racine a lot, since he still got a lot of shot onto him.
For the most part, the defensive play has gotten a lot better- the goals that we let in were some about puck bounces. The first one for sure- with the rebound gently going to the open Gopher to an open net. The one "clean" goal was the last one they got- which was a great PP cross ice one timer.
Much of the night, we were inches away from really carrying the game- just missed pass, puck not being able to be controlled by our guys. Thankfully, we grabbed the opportunities and scored.
This team is really starting to gel. When you have the talented guys making mistakes, which not only gets stopped- but turned back around to score for us- that is a great sign. Werenski had a bad night with the puck- when he gets out of this funk- wow.
I'll end as I started- fun!
