Last night they took their foot off that gas and it almost cost them. They won't make same mistake Sunday.
It pains me greatly to say this but as we cannot be in the room or know what is in the player's heads, given what I see on the ice I can see why (chokes back some vomit) Vancouver made him their captain.

This.
And it was Babcock. You could tell the first shift of the 3rd period the forecheck evaporated and the neutral zone clog materialized. He was content to sit back and take it for 20 minutes which was a monumentally ######ed thing to do.
While the score was 3-0 the Slovaks were still there the whole way, that was a tight game, you dont let off.
