Monahan with the clutch shootout winner. Some kids just have it, and he's one of 'em.
Loved seeing Berra playing aggressive in the shootout, going way out to challenge, but having the athleticism to retreat back. After watching Kipper struggle for so many years in the shootout (although he did get better), Berra looked way more comfortable out there. Yes he got deked pretty bad on the Wheeler goal, and was caught cheating with the paddle down on the Ladd goal (hope he learned his lesson), but you could see the confidence build with each save.
