Im guessing im in the minority, but I thought the system looked great on Saturday. When there were breakdowns, players were in position to limit the second and third chances, or the lanes were quickly filled and the chance was mitigated. It just seemed like less of a firedrill than any point I can recall last year. Johnson played really good, but he didnt seem to have to make the second and third saves or sprawling saves of yesteryear. We should make that our d for the rest of the year and they will be fine.
Thought Ferland and Bouma looked good also. Would like to see the second line generate a little more, would be my lone complaint.
