Cervenkas hand-eye was awesome tonight almost slams in a goal from waist height. that would've been amazing.
Irving did look nervous out there and at the very least the third goal shouldve been had. Given consecutive starts I can see his confidence go up and start playing out of the crease a little more. Really thought his puck handle was good tonight. He definitely is not kipper when it comes to kicking our rebounds to where his D can get them but his Stick work is solid. Really needs to get better at his angles. But solid play tonight regardless.
Is it me or does the Iggy line need to be broken up? Tanguay is almost going full ###### trying to get Iggy the puck and causing bad turn overs in the process. Glencross needs a little more improvement, his creativity tonight was good though.
Hudler Roman and Backlund looked lethal. Too bad Backs tweaked his knee. Didnt look that bad and was likely kept out for precautionary reasons just to the the infirmary empty. At least I hope.
Again Wideman and Brodie are obviously the 1/2 paring on this team right now and am really pleased overall with both of these guys. Really takes almost all the pressure off Gio and Bouwmeester and allows them to just go out and play. Aside from Bouwmeesters stumble that led to the 3rd goals tonight, he looked solid. Gio needs to be better but not by much.
Overall, this is a couple games earlier to see this team come together and pull out some gutsy wins but that is a good thing. Now a real challenge comes up in VAN on Saturday. Hope the boys get up for that one!
