Strong game. They contained Minnesota's first line all game long and not every team has been able to do that. Irving was also very solid.
Hudler and Brodie were both impressive, but I think all defensemen played really well. Strong on the boards and getting the puck up quickly. I think it was a fairly positive game.
Not bothered by losing in a shootout. They had better shooters. Their first two both have over 40% in their long careers. It's all about the shooters - don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
