Agree about Byron. He's looked good on the 4th line and he's the type of player I like to see on the 4th line as he has speed, determination and some natural offensive creativity unlike the typical 4th line plug.
Hartley has to be credited for getting the team to play much better defensively as they are on a roll letting in only 1 or 2 goals per game after being 30th overall in GAA for the season. The good defensive play has also coincided with Wideman being out of the lineup so it will be interesting to see if the defensive play changes when he comes back.
You could almost have given Smid the goat horns for letting Skinner get behind him in the 3rd leading to that penalty shot. That shouldn't happen.
