Many man crushes for Bouma were developed tonight. Amazing heart and soul guy. Can only wonder what he might have done for the team last year were he not hurt.

MacDonald definitely wasn't great but in the end he was 'good enough'. That being said, put in Ramo next game. If this team can win despite MacDonald at times, I think it's worth giving the other guy a chance to see how much better he may or may not be than a career backup.

Amazing that we were above 60% in faceoffs for the first time in ages, yet had so much trouble consistently creating pressure. At the same time, kudos to the defense for fighting off the bigger forwards. Probably won't mean that we'll deal with the Getzlafs and Kopitars as well but so far so good.

Last but not least, I hope it was nothing more than a stinger for Backlund.
