Pleasantly surprised to turn on the third period and see us not blown out and fighting to get back in it. The efforts are starting to sag at points now, though. Doesnt help were getting extended roas trips against contending clubs... But that's the sobering reality of november hockey. October is always a honeymoon period, giving us some extent of foolish hope while teams are still settling in to their respective systems. I'm really TOd about Sven. Not just because I think he doesn't deserve the treatment and he gives this team a boost of talent, but because it affects Monahan!s game, too. The two have had proven chemistry and it needs to be allowed to continue developing. But now Monahan's offense is drying up, likely doing a Number on his confidence. And pulling Sven only made it harder for him.
